\nHindu girls<\/a> forced to convert to Islam:<\/p>\n

\n

Extremist Muslims who force vulnerable teenage girls to convert to Islam are being targeted by police, Met chief Sir Ian Blair has revealed. <\/p>\n

Police are working with universities to clamp down on “aggressive conversions” during which girls are beaten up and forced to abandon university courses. <\/p>\n

The Hindu Forum of Britain claims hundreds of mostly Sikh and Hindu girls have been intimidated by Muslim men who take them out on dates before terrorising them until they convert.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nIn Pakistan, a husband sold his wife’s kidney<\/a> so that he could purchase a tractor.
\nIn Pakistan, a young girl was lost in a poker game<\/a> by her father when she was 2. The debt has been paid but the winner still wants to collect the girl.
\nHonor killings<\/a> in Palestine:
\n<\/p>\n

\n

Three Palestinian women have been murdered in the Gaza Strip in the past 24 hours, Palestinian Authority security officials and local residents said. <\/p>\n

The bodies of the women were discovered early Tuesday in the northern part of the Gaza Strip. The motive for the killings remained unclear.
\nOne of the victims, a 35-year-old mother of four, was found near the beach. She had been shot at least 13 times in different parts of her body, said a PA security official. <\/p>\n

The other two women were killed separately and their bullet-riddled bodies were discovered late Monday. <\/p>\n

The security official said he did not rule out the possibility that the three women were killed by male relatives in the context of what is known as “honor killings.” Such killings are not unusual among Palestinians and many Arab countries. At least 25 women are murdered every year in the West\n<\/p>\n

[…]<\/p>\n

“The Palestinian police aren’t doing anything because they are afraid of the families and because they ‘understand’ the motives.”<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>(via<\/a>)
\nClearly, there is a strong tendency in Islam to view women as chattel and since women are not respected, they can be treated anyway the men decide.<\/p>\n
