Beheaded for wearing “western-style trousers”

By Michelle Malkin  •  November 23, 2007 06:37 PM

A husband and wife. Beheaded in front of their children in Iraq. No, not by American soldiers. By jihadis outraged that the coule did not pray and that the father wore “western-style trousers.” Hey, why doesn’t Hollywood make movies about atrocities like this:

Three suspected al Qaeda militants, including two sisters, beheaded their uncle and his wife, forcing the couple’s children to watch, Iraqi police said on Friday.

The militants considered that school guard Youssef al-Hayali was an infidel because he did not pray and wore western-style trousers, they told police interrogators after being arrested in Diyala province northwest of Baghdad.

The three cousins executed Hayali and his wife Zeinab Kamel at the all-boys school in Jalawlah in Diyala province, village police chief Captain Ahmed Khalifa said.

No further details were available.

Sunni Arab communities across Iraq have been turning against al Qaeda because of its indiscriminate killings and strict interpretation of Islam, which includes a ban on smoking in public and forcing schoolgirls to wear veils.

Sunni Arab tribal sheikhs have been organizing their young men into neighborhood police units to drive out al Qaeda, a practice which U.S. and Iraqi officials say has helped bring down violence levels across Iraq.

Reader Neil Price e-mails: “Maybe Brian DePalma will consider this a story that deserves to be told?”

    Ok, let’s see if this makes sense. The religious fanatics are against homosexuals, but not cross-dressers when the cross dressers are actually jihadist men wearing burquas to hide from our forces. Now they are against men dressing as men and wearing pants with zippers in the front.
    So, are they for or against men dressing as men? Or is it better for the men to dress as women. The Koran must have some guidance on this. Maybe I should ask an inman.

    Hmmm, let’s take inventory: We’ve paid for the footbaths installation, we have at least one Muslim in Congress now, the flying immams get to proceed with their lawsuit, we have one key middle-eastern CIA/FBI agent under arrest for fibbing about how she got to be a citizen (CIA says no big deal, we love her, bring her back to work), got em working in the White House, the Prez hosts a big Ramadan iftar dinner, the ACLU loves em, the Dems love em, the MSM love em, David Horowitz gets chased offstage at Emory U., Ahmadinejad gets a standing O from those lovable kids at Columbia, we have a tax-funded madrassa with secret curriculum in New York City….and folks like Tom Tancredo and Robert Spencer are called racists for asking the question, “Do you support replacing the United Sates Constitution with Sharia?”

    I’d say we’ve got a least a fifty-fifty chance for full-blown Sharia here pretty soon.

    Sounds like standard procedure for the religion of pieces. I wonder if these are the same type of tolerant folks you will find at many of our own colleges and universities. Currently they just deny freedom of speech in an academic setting soon if you don’t conform to their group think they could very well follow suit to this level of violence and savagery. Liberals really do have a lot in common with Jihadist.

    I know many Christian fundamentalists who are against women wearing trousers – they have to wear long dresses..And of course, they have to keep their hair long.

    Still, at least they are not beheaded.

    This is not exclusive to Iraq where we have access to an information network this is endemic to most of the Islam influenced world.
    Just like the horrid mutilation of young girls genitals by savages carrying out mythical tradition on an unbelievable 80% of the Muslim female population that isn’t condemned by every “civil rights” advocate on the planet.

    The hypocrisy is monumental, Western societies are forced to accommodate atrocities at the sacrifice of our own nonviolent, civilized traditions that actually do promote fellowship and forgiveness.

    Astoundingly stupid and suicidal.

    You forget that we also bought bogus info on massacres and genocidal acts, to support Kosovo. Now Rice is supporting independence for Kosovo while there is basically zero evidence that there were any ‘atrocities’ committed against the Muslims, yet there is a lot of evidence that Muslims committed atrocities.

    Yes Sausage and where are all these Christians demanding women wearing dresses? As you will eventually find out that Jesus was correct saying He is the only way to heaven. He said it many times and Islam by these actions prove beyond a doubt that Satan has fooled alot of folks into following such a religion. Another funny thing is exactly what WORK says is that demos, libs, stalinists, fascists, MSM seem to ignore these actions and the so called moderates don’t even make a peep about these atrocities. As the days close you will see this religion strike more and more as they gain political and religious power.

    Brian DePalma does not have the ‘nads to produce a movie about this atrocity. No, he would probably wet himself just being in the same room with the 3 cousins, those barbarians. Forget Hollywood, they are all a lost cause. John Wayne is dead.

    Pray for the children who had to witness the horrifying deaths.

    Maybe the male cousin was going “commando,” and this caused them shame (and arrousal)?

    You all don’t know much about females do you? They
    can be fanatics that are so much worse than males.
    I can guarantee you that they probably egged the men
    on when they decided that maybe a zipper wasn’t such
    a bad idea. Read Satrapi’s Persepolis 2..she comes
    home to Iran after living in France and all of her friends want to know everything she did when she lived there.She tells them, with them oohing and aahing and making her think that they if not approved,
    at least felt that she had learned how to live in a free society and that they were even a little envious.
    In a heartbeat they turned on her and began berating and calling her a wh*re and telling her she
    is unclean. It could have so easily turned physical.
    Yes..from what I have seen and heard in my life, I
    have no doubt that the two women were in on this
    beheading. Women, especially in backward countries where they are oppressed can be extremely cruel just as a physically abused mother
    in our society has been known to, in turn, abuse
    her children.

    Ahhhhh, but once again, it was NOT beer-swilling Christian “rednecks” committing the atrocities so it is not newsworthy. Once the libs can do away with those nasty Christian rabble-rousers they can incorporate into the religion of peace and find out exactly what tolerance is all about. While it may seem outrageous now, imagine someone telling people back in the early twentieth century that the government would be allowed to decide what people can and cannot do in their own homes. (Unless it is a perversity and then the government has no right to tell them right?) Imagine our forefathers seeing what has become with imminent domain. We are losing this nation incrementally and these people welcome the changes with open arms. Somehow or another I do not believe this is what Americans of old meant when they said to “Use your head”.

    You will not hear one cry of protest or outrage coming from the libs because this is what they believe in. As long as it does not promote the oppressive Christian lifestyle of love and forgiveness it is ok.

    Sharia: Coming soon to a state near you.

    and it is said that the children were forced to watch, so. there may have been threats against the children.

    No one buys that.

    But that’s not what the story says.

    Three suspected al Qaeda militants, including two sisters, beheaded their uncle and his wife, forcing the couple’s children to watch, Iraqi police said on Friday

    A dude (with a machine gun?) and two broads (also armed?) threaten to either kill the whole family or make the kids watch as their parents were beheaded.

    That could happen, right?

    The militants considered that school guard Youssef al-Hayali was an infidel because he did not pray

    They behead infidels, don’t they?

    Here’s something that’ll make you feel better.

    I’m a veteran. I own several firearms that I stay proficient in the use of. I am between the ages of 35-55. I would gladly kill before submitting to sharia.

    There are currently 14 million veterans under the age of 65 in this country. If a mere one in five of them thinks the way I do that’s a larger armed force than the army fielded by China.

    Just one in five. And I suspect the number is a lot higher than that. And that’s not counting all the people who didn’t serve in the military but are nonetheless armed and willing to defend themselves.

    Even if the government tried to enact sharia, and even if they found some number of cops actually willing to try to enforce it (a dubious proposition), I think they’d have an awfully hard time of it.

    Take heart in that at least. This isn’t Iran… we’re a little tougher to dominate than a bunch of unarmed college kids.
