PAKISTANI RESERCHING THE TRUTH IN THE MIDDLE : KARO-KARI : Honor Killings in Pakistan

THERE WILL ALWAYS BE SACRAFICIAL LAMBS IN THIS WAR - THIS WAR AGAINST WOMEN!

There has been a long plague of ‘honor killings’ in Pakistan. Statistics claims that between 500-1000 women die in honor killings every year – in my opinion that number is probably much higher. Husbands, sons, fathers and brothers kill women in their family to restore their family honor and reputation. These ‘honor killings’ are known as KARO-KARI: a metaphoric term for adulterer and adulteress; its literal meaning is black male – black female. Once a woman is deemed “Kari”, the family authorizes the right to kill her in order to restore family honor.

There are thousands of women being murdered every year, under the name of honor killings, but these deaths are very poorly reported because ‘honor killings’ are seen as culturally heroic acts. Morality and honor is viewed in the act of the perpetrator and inverts the act of murder into a valiant opportunity for regaining family integrity. Since these ‘honor killings’ are very popular and highly supported in rural Pakistani regions, many of the deaths go unrecorded. Under Pakistani law, the perpetrators should be prosecuted for murder. Unfortunately, in practice, many of the victims disappear and the police simply ignores the acts of the murders.

Here I ask for someone to explain how Sharia Law justifies the term of KARO-KARI…

Muslims too believe in the prophecy of Jesus and so I quote the following from the Bible (John 8:3 – 8:11):

And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,

They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.

Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?

This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with [his] finger wrote on the ground, [as though he heard them not].

So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.

And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.

And they which heard [it], being convicted by [their own] conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, [even] unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.

When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?

She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
