There are reported "honor killings"
which are deemed justifiable. A Muslim family member who disagrees
with the social order of Islam and wishes to marry a person from another
religion may be killed for his/her decision. Here are excerpts describing
a 2002 incident in London:
"By stabbing his daughter in the neck,
Abdalla Yones, 48, was performing what in the Muslim world is considered
an 'honor killing', an attack on a relative who has brought shame
to the family. The murder occurred in the family's home in Acton,
West London, according to the London Times."'
"Sixteen-year-old
Hsehu Yones was stabbed to death by her father, Abdullah Jones, on
October 12, 2002, for having a Christian boyfriend and becoming 'Westernized.'
According to Scotland yard, the stabbing is believed to be among 12
honor killings in the UK last year. On September 29, 2003, Abdullah
Jones was given a life sentence for his crime, showing the intolerance
of honor killings in the UL."

Oppression takes many forms within the teachings
of fundamental Islam. For example, Muslims are commanded to remain
within their close-knit community and are prohibited from befriending
non-Muslims. Such restriction automatically builds a wall of defense
whereby Muslims view non-Muslims as infidels, thus, never being able
to establish a true and peaceful co-existence.
