John Guandolo’s organization provides insight
into organizations that often pose as moderate but
are instead focused on creating a restrictive society
under Islamic Law.
One recent blog post looked at Islamic Sharia and
how honor killings are accepted within this
system. Under Islam, it is lawful for a parent to kill
their grandchild or child, with no retaliation, for
“dishonoring the family.”

3.  While neither the Sunnah or the Koran talk about
honor killings, they have set in place a system that
authorizes the practice.
In the United States alone, more than two dozen
honor killings take place each year. Reasons range
from a daughter being too “Westernized” to a
daughter having been “sullied” through
undergoing a gynecological exam. One extreme
example involves the founder of Bridges TV in
Buffalo, New York who started the English
television network as a way of improving
perceptions of Islam, and was later convicted of
beheading his wife.
