The overwhelming majority of honor killings and FGM's in this country are committed by muslims, and exclusively out of religious convictions ultimately based upon the koran. Some non-muslims in other countries may do those things but its a cultural phenomenon; however muslims are the only major group that commit them for religious reasons.
Please do your own research into sharia law, and stop being a flunky for CAIR/The Muslim Brotherhood.
Wrong topic wrote:Honor killings aren't a Muslim thing, it's a thing amongst some ethnic minorities which includes people of different faiths; Christians, Hindus, Muslims and Sikhs
FGM is huge in predominantly Christian African countries.
Sharia law isn't what you think it is.
Entirely wrong.
Honour killings predate most modern religions, including Islam. Honor killings are popularly carried out by people of a particular decent, in particular Indian/Pakistani people. They are of typically Hindu, Sikh or Muslim faith. The religion is unimportant and in none of these religious texts does it mention anything about honour killing. I know the Qur'an specifically outlaws it and Islamic councils around the world have condemned it and said it is un-Islamic to carry out these crimes. Hindu and Sikh leaders have done the same.
Please show me evidence to the contrary.
FGM is a massively African problem. It is hugely popular amongst many African states with large numbers or majority Christian populations - but again religion has nothing to do with it. It is cultural once more. Typically the religions of the people involved are Christian, Muslim or some local, traditional religion.
In Egypt it is very popular, and girls that are Christian, Muslim or otherwise, are mutilated in equal abundance. The story is very much similar in Eritrea, Ethiopia, Burkina Faso, CAR, Chad, Guinea, Kenya, Liberia, Mali, Nigeria and many more countries; FGM is not limited to those of Islamic faith in any shape or form. It is entirely cultural. In Guinea 94% of Christian women are cut. In Nigeria, 54% of Christians are cut whilst only 7% of Muslims are.
Interestingly this cultural divide can be seen very clearly in Gambia. Gambia is 90% Muslim but the rates of FGM differs wildly between different regions and ethnic groups within the country.
Whilst all Muslim, some ethnic groups there have a FGM prevalence of over 95% whilst others as low as 12%.
You also know nothing about Sharia law and that is too complex a topic to try and discuss with someone as dense as you I'm afraid.
