| In the comments section of this post, Muslim Ali Siddiqui suggests that he can't find any support for honor killings in Muslim sources but yet has no problem trumping up a verse from the Bible that does. "But as before, there is no such thing as honor killings. Mathew 15:4 doesn't exist in the Quran." I submit that this comment from Ali tells us more about Muslims than it does about Christianity:
1) Anyone who can find honor killings in the Bible, even though the practice is unheard of among Christians, can also find support for honor killings in an issue of Popular Mechanics or on a billboard sign advertising Happy Meals at Mcdonald's.
2) Anyone who can't find support for honor killings in Muslim sources, even though honor killings are widely practiced among Muslims, is either ignorant of the Qur'an and Sunnah, or he/she believes it is appropriate to willfully deceive others about the same.
The following comments from Ali are surely enlightening in this regard:
"We muslims, because we are the most practicing followers of any faith, we take it very seriously. Which is why whenever someone speaks out against islam theres all those riots and that. Since christians dont practice much you dont really see any type of extreme activty."
Hence, according to Ali, Muslims engage in honor killings, riots and other types of extreme activity because they are the most practicing followers of any faith. So, the question follows: Are Muslims practicing their faith or not when they engage in such activities? If they are not, then it would appear that Muslims are not the most practicing followers of any faith; if they are, then Islam supports honor killings, riots and other types of extreme activity.
Since Ali insists that Muslims are the most practicing followers of any faith, and since this leads to the conclusion that Islam supports honor killings, then Ali is either ignorant and inconsistent with regard to whether or not Islam supports honor killings, or he is simply being deceitful.
