The dance of death

This is as sick as it gets when talking about honor killings. This is depraved, inhumane and grotesque. In other words...

This is Islam.

Celebrating death: Men dance around bodies after shooting 3 relatives

FAISALABAD: A man shot and killed his sister, niece and another relative and began dancing around the dead bodies in the limits of Police Station Langrana on Thursday evening.

According to eyewitnesses, the accused, Aqil dragged the three bodies outside to the street where he and his three accomplices began dancing around them and hurling abused at the deceased. “They were spitting at the bodies and congratulating themselves over having killed the women because they had rejected their demands,” said an eyewitness Mazhar.

According to locals in the area, Chak No.211-JB resident Mukhtar Bibi’s daughter Farhat Bibi had married her brother Aqil’s son Allah Raza seven years ago. Farhat Bibi has a six-year-old daughter Samreen, who was injured by her father. “Farhat came back to her mother fearing that her husband would kill her. She said that he beat her viciously and had pushed her daughter down the stairs and she had cut her head open,” a neighbour Babar told police. Accused Aqil repeatedly asked his sister Mukhtar Bibi to send his son’s wife back. “He said that she belonged to them and that if she didn’t send her back she would be punished,” Babar said.

Aqil admitted that he killed the women and celebrated their death. “My sister tried to set conditions for her girl’s return and she had no right to do so. Farhat was married and my son can do whatever he wants with her,” he told police.

4-34 and 4-3 for starters.

Mukhtat Bibi refused to send her daughter and grand daughter back home unless her nephew Allah Raza promised to treat them well and never to beat them again. “They refused to agree to any conditions and threatened them instead,” Babar said.

On Tuesday night, Aqil along with three other accomplices Adial, Ulfat and Umar Hayat stormed into his sister Mukhtar Bibi’s house and demanded that she turn over her daughter to him. “He said he would take them home dead or alive but she refused and then he began firing,” said a servant at the house...
