New Islamic Sickness: Not "Honor Killings," but "Honor Suicide"!
In Islam, one of the most disgusting acts (aside from everything else in that perverted cult) is the theory of "honor" for a family. If a child (usually a woman) wants to marry someone the family does not like, she does not have that right - and if she steps out of line, Islam says she may be killed, usually in the harshest way possible. Go to any search engine and enter "honor killings" - and up will pop some of the most horrific stories of women being murdered by their fathers, their cousins, even their brothers, for not doing things the "Islamic way."
Well, Muslims want to expand that theory to new and frightening heights. Are you all ready for "honor suicide"? Because now Muslims want those women who step out of line to kill themselves and save their families from doing the foul deed.

This girl is still alive - and in hiding in fear of her life.
And Muslims tell us how Islam is a "religion of peace."

For Derya, a waiflike girl of 17, the order to kill herself came from an uncle and was delivered in a text message to her cellphone. “You have blackened our name,” it read. “Kill yourself and clean our shame or we will kill you first.”
Derya said her crime was to fall for a boy she had met at school last spring. She knew the risks: her aunt had been killed by her grandfather for seeing a boy. But after being cloistered and veiled for most of her life, she said, she felt free for the first time and wanted to express her independence.
When news of the love affair spread to her family, she said, her mother warned her that her father would kill her. But she refused to listen. Then came the threatening text messages, sent by her brothers and uncles, sometimes 15 a day. Derya said they were the equivalent of a death sentence.
Consumed by shame and fearing for her life, she said, she decided to carry out her family’s wishes. First, she said, she jumped into the Tigris River, but she survived. Next she tried hanging herself, but an uncle cut her down. Then she slashed her wrists with a kitchen knife.
“My family attacked my personality, and I felt I had committed the biggest sin in the world,” she said recently from a women’s shelter where she had traded in her veil for a T-shirt and jeans. She declined to give her last name for fear that her family was still hunting her. “I felt I had no right to dishonor my family, that I have no right to be alive. So I decided to respect my family’s desire and to die.”
