Denmark: Muslim migrant subjects wife to “severe violence, incarceration, and humiliation,” finally murders her
A culture of violence, the foundational text of which commands men to beat women from whom they “fear disobedience” (Qur’an 4:34), is going to give rise to this sort of thing, just as that same foundational text’s calls for violence against unbelievers (2:191, 4:89, 9:5, 9:29, 47:4, etc.) are going to give rise to jihad violence.
And as for the murder, there is an unfortunate prevalence in many areas of the Islamic world of the idea that a man is justified under certain circumstances in killing his wife. Muslims commit 91 percent of honor killings worldwide. The Palestinian Authority gives pardons or suspended sentences for honor murders. Iraqi women have asked for tougher sentences for Islamic honor murderers, who get off lightly now. Syria in 2009 scrapped a law limiting the length of sentences for honor killings, but “the new law says a man can still benefit from extenuating circumstances in crimes of passion or honour ‘provided he serves a prison term of no less than two years in the case of killing.’” And in 2003 the Jordanian Parliament voted down on Islamic grounds a provision designed to stiffen penalties for honor killings. Al-Jazeera reported that “Islamists and conservatives said the laws violated religious traditions and would destroy families and values.”
Until the encouragement Islamic law gives to honor killing is acknowledged and confronted, more women will suffer.
“Pakistani man sentenced for brutally murdering Danish wife,” Voice of Europe, April 27, 2020:
A Pakistani man, aged 39, who brutally abused his Danish wife for decade before murdering her in 2018, was sentenced to detention and deportation last week by a court in Roskilde.Kamran Khan was sentenced last Friday after being convicted of beating his 34-year-wife Aya Bonde Jensen – an ex-beauty queen – to death in their home in Osted, south of Roskilde, in October of 2018.The 39-year-old Pakistani was found guilty of subjecting his wife to “severe violence, incarceration, surveillance, and humiliation” for ten years leading up to her death. Khan is also convicted of systematic, crude and brutal abuse of his three children, Danish tabloid Ekstra Bladet reports.Jenson, an ethnic Dane from Falster who had previously been crowned Miss Teen in a local beauty pageant when she was 16, had previously dreamed of a modeling career, but her life changed in 2002 when she married Pakistani Kamran Khan, a man whom she had met in high school.When she was just 17-years-old, Jenson converted to Islam and had an Islamic marriage with Khan who was five years older. After this her life changed drastically. Jenson dropped out of high school to become a housewife, and the short blouses she had previously worn were replaced with Islamic fundamentalist garb. Khan also forced her to break contact with her mother.During the trial, the prosecuting attorney Rune Rydik noted that Jenson was in a “helpless state” when she was finally murdered by Khan in 2018. Rydik also pointed out that the couple’s three children were often forced to witness the violence and humiliation that their mother was subjected to for years….
