The Los Angeles Times<\/a> is reporting today that Waseem Azeem, brother of slain Pakistani<\/a> model Qandeel Baloch<\/a>, has confessed to killing his sister for the sake of the family’s honor.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Baloch, who had become a social media celebrity in recent months, stirred controversy by posting pictures online taken with a prominent Muslim cleric<\/a>. She was found dead Saturday at her family home in the central city of Multan<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Police arrested her brother, Waseem Azeem, and presented him before the media in Multan, where he confessed to killing her. He said that people had taunted him over the photos and that he found the social embarrassment unbearable.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI was determined either to kill myself or kill her,\u201d Azeem told the Associated Press<\/a> as he was being led away.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

He said that even though Baloch was the main breadwinner for the family, he slipped her sedatives the night before and then strangled her in her sleep.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to the tenets of Islam<\/a>, what he did was perfectly acceptable.<\/p>\n

The article further reports:<\/p>\n

Nearly 1,000 women are killed in Pakistan each year for violating conservative norms on love and marriage. The so-called \u201chonor killings\u201d often are carried out by family members.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Such killings are considered murder. But Islamic law in Pakistan allows a murder victim\u2019s family to pardon the killer, which often allows those convicted of honor killings to escape punishment.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Islamic law is Sharia Law. This is what many Muslims want to introduce into our courts to supersede the U.S. Constitution<\/a>. Sharia Law and the U.S. Constitution are totally incompatible–the U.S. Constitution protects freedom of speech and freedom of religion, neither of which are acceptable in Sharia Law. In Sharia Law, freedom of speech is defined as the right to express any opinion freely in such manner as would not be contrary to the principles of the Shari’ah<\/a>. It is also defined as the right to advocate what is right, and propagate what is good, and warn against what is wrong and evil according to the norms of Islamic Shari’ah. Free speech is allowed as long as it agrees with Shariah. Anything negative about Mohammad or any picture of Mohammad are not allowed. We need to make sure that anyone who comes to America<\/a> is willing to live under the U.S. Constitution. If they are not, we need to send them home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
