A teenage girl, age 13, was sentenced to death by a judge in the tribal Khyber Agency community of Pakistan on Friday, for the crime of trying to run away with two young men.
More to point: The judge ruled the girl should be killed to save her family’s honor. So her family killed her.
Welcome to the face of Islamic law, where murder is an act of honor — so much so that even judges in supposed courts of rule and law impose the sentence.

From Dawn:
A teenage girl was reportedly murdered by her relatives allegedly on the orders of a tribal jirga in Khyber Agency on Friday, in what the local political administration said was a case of ‘honour’ killing.
The jirga had issued the orders to kill 13-year-old Naghma after it emerged that she had allegedly attempted to run away with two young men, an official said.
After she allegedly ran away with them, the boys abandoned Naghma during the journey “out of fear”. She was later taken into custody by the security forces and released on bail upon assurance by the girl’s relatives that they would not kill her, Assistant Political Agent Niaz Mohammad told local reporters.
However, despite their assurances, Naghma’s relatives shot her dead three days later inside a house in Landi Kotal tehsil and silently buried her body in a local graveyard.
Local authorities told Dawn the girl’s actual killer has been taken into custody of political authorities. But now, the two young men who ran off with the girl are also in custody, and could face the same fatal fate.
Again, from Dawn:
a journalist belonging to Khyber Agency claimed that the two boys who allegedly ran away with the girl are in the custody of the same jirga. He claimed that the boys’ relatives will make every effort to secure their freedom, but it is possible that they too will be killed on the jirga’s orders.
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Governor Iqbal Zafar Jhagra has sought a report into the incident from the political agent. He said the teenage girl’s murder was contrary to human rights.
The National Assembly earlier this year passed a bill giving legal and constitutional cover to the centuries old jirga and panchayat systems in the country with a view to ensure speedy resolution of petty civil matters and reduce the burden of litigations on the courts.
Hundreds of women are murdered every year in Pakistan, often by their own relatives, for going against their families’ wishes in matters of love and marriage.
The perpetrators of so-called honour killings often walk free because they can seek forgiveness for the crime from another family member.
The Aurat Foundation’s annual report of 2016 showed 7,852 cases of violence against women.
According to Saima Munir, who works for the Aurat Foundation, there has been a 70 per cent increase in honour killings in the past year.

That is sharia law. Left/Liberal Loons have bought and sold the “Islam is religion of peace” while ignoring the history of jihad and the present active ongoing jihadi attacks .
While they try to hide the vile , despicable crimes sanctioned under Islam we must expose the Lies online and offline http://bit.ly/2rF8pfo

Pakistan and Islamic law are sick. Arab men treat women like garbage.
This story is very sad and sickening.
If this is how Muslim and Arab men think of women so little value in Pakistan.
I wonder if Muslim men view women in the US and Canada with so little regard. This story is an eye opener – staying far away from Muslim men in Canada & US
Disgusting sick culture in Pakistan. Obama’s religion of Peace “Islam is gross”

They can all go to live with Obama & Hillary and George Looney and Anal Looney and their twins.
Has anyone seen Amal since the twins have been born? Has Amal gone into hiding? Something tells me a surrogate carried the two twins and the stuffing under her dress was fake. Two fake phonies.

That poor child. No 13-year-old should ever have to suffer something like that….a total betrayal by her own family. Abusers use any excuse to justify hitting, raping, or killing their children, and it should NEVER be tolerated anywhere.

we need to denounce islam and stop giving them air time. Stop the 15 minutes of fame.
as long as they receive recognition, I believe its an empowerment for islam. they do what they do, the world hears about it, and islam know its sickens us but scares us also.

Sunshine Kid sadly this goes beyond simple masochism by the feminists(?) and other ‘progressive’ political supporters or agencies. It reaches right into the stratospheric heights of the kind of insane behavior as suicide by cop, or just plain outright denial of the reality of the world situation. Complete and utter gullibility to such an extreme as to be wearing blinders to anything that doesn’t fit their ‘progressive’ academia rose colored utopian dreamworld that they’ve been force fed like pablum from their very first day of schooling in first grade or even kindergartan.

Please contact your representatives and ask them to oppose this proposed law, and vote against any Senator or Congressmen “in both parties” who votes for this proposed anti-US Constitution and pro-Sharia Law resolutions.
The Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR, International Terrorist Organizations, have managed to get Senate Resolution 118 and House Resolution 257 introduced into the House and Senate. If those resolutions are passed into law, that law will “Criminalize Freedom of Speech”.
Those resolutions are part of the Muslim Brotherhood’s sinister plan to replace the US Constitution with Sharia Law, through a back door method of passing various laws that chip away at the precepts of the US Constitution.

These are resolutions, not bills, so they cannot be made into law; but I understand where you’re coming from. It won’t be long before it’s a bill that’s introduced.

What you mean by ‘judge’ in the tribal areas will be a senior elder. These people have enormous power over the local population. They are not trained lawyers as the article implies. I doubt that any legal professional even in Pakistan would order anybody to be murdered

They have “Sharia courts” that pass such judgment. You know, if you’re caught stealing, the punishment is to lose a hand – and that sentence is passed by the Sharia court.

Sorry bleeding hearts, but I say expel every follower of Islam from this country. Declaring Islam a terriost org. And shut down every mosque and throw the elders in prison. This cult is the enemy of the country. To many cowards on the left, thinking if they are nice to this animals they will not be a target. Now this is true for time being, but what they fail to realize is once they have the courts and make Islam law of the land, then they go after the liberal left. They are saving the best for last, so many super t
