CHECHNYA PROVES THAT "HONOR KILLINGS" ARE ISLAMIC, NOT JUST ARABIC

WALES ONLINE:
The President of Chechnya justified the right of male relatives to carry out ’honour killings’ after seven young women were found shot dead.

Ramzan Kadyrov said the women, whose bodies were found dumped by the roadside, had “loose morals” and were rightfully shot.

“If a woman runs around and if a man runs around with her, both of them are killed,” Mr Kadyrov said outside a mosque in Grozny where he had attended afternoon prayers.

The 32-year-old former militia leader is carrying out a campaign to impose Islamic values and strengthen the traditional customs of predominantly Muslim Chechnya, in an effort to blunt the appeal of hardline Islamic separatists and shore up his power.

In doing so, critics say, he is setting up a dictatorship where Russian laws do not apply.

Some in Russia say Mr Kadyrov’s attempt to create an Islamic society violates the Russian constitution, which guarantees equal rights for women and a separation of church and state.

But the Kremlin has given him its staunch backing, seeing him as the key to keeping the separatists in check, and that has allowed him to impose his will.
THIS IS THE SAME THING THAT PAKISTAN AGREED TO IN SWAT.
IT'S IMMORAL. LIKE ACCEPTING SLAVERY.
PUTIN AND THE PAKISTANI GOVERNMENT ARE IMMORAL
