Pretend you're face-to-face with a murderer. They're calmly explaining-in fact- boasting about their crime. I imagine by now, you wouldn't want to be anywhere near them, much less honor and defend them.
On February 4th , 2012 Muhammad Ismail, a young Pakistani, shot and killed his wife, her mother, and sister. In 2011, at least 943 Muslim women were killed in honor murders. Ismail accused his wife of an eight-month adultery and failure to be a good spouse. He also claimed the killings were for his own honor. 'I am proud of what I did. That's why I turned myself over to the police, said Ismail."
First of all, I would like to say cases like these deeply sadden me. Before I describe myself in any other way, I am a human being, and then a female. The action of humans taking other humans' life is just sick and twisted. In my opinion, no one should ever do that for any reason. Things like that will haunt you for the rest of your life.
Second of all, the reasoning and logic behind the murderer was what worried me the most. Ismail said' the killings were is defense of his honor'. I understand he was unhappy with the marriage, but killing his wife, her mother, and sister was and outrageous and barbaric 'soluton'. The way he was responding to the interviewer, to me, was in a very nonchalant, 'low-key boastful', and extremely passive tone.
Incidents like these really have to stop. Women are as much of humans as men and have every right they were born with. As 'life-givers' and ones who carry on the generations, women should be treated with the utmost respect and regard. Would you approve of 'responses' to situations like these?
