   Thank you Mookie. I looked at Amina’s site. What really hurt was the I don’t
   want to become a memory. And now they are. At least this mother didn’t
   help hold them down while he or another male relative killed them. There has
   to be a special ring in hell for people that kill their children regardless of the
   reason. I know that I sound judgemental but at this point I am furious. All
   they did wrong was want to be like their peers and that made the mistake of
   dating outside of their religion.

   And what the hell did this bastard expect? That these girls would live lives of solitude, never interacting with their peers? That’s such an unreasonable expectation of young people. If he wanted that much control over his daughters, he should have stayed in Egypt.

   I wonder what’s going through the minds of their Muslim friends right now and if they’re wondering if they could be next.

   I have yet to talk to any of my Muslim friends about this because if I get a wimpy
   answer I may not give a wimpy response. I agree that if they want their daughters
   to be proper Muslim females, they should stay where the temptations are a lot
   less. I was at a middle eastern wedding and the men were all having a high old
   time while the women sat there like bumps on a log. When I asked (this was
   before I knew the ropes) why they weren’t dancing, I practically got pulled under
   the table and hidden from the men because they were afraid they would get in
   trouble for asking me to the wedding in the first place. Seems not knowing the
   rules is also a very, very, very large no-no.
   I do know one thing. It is never the man’s fault in Muslim society. If he feels lust for a woman…she caused it. If he is shamed before society….a female
   caused it. Always the woman’s fault. Stupid men can’t even see a woman’s shoulder in a sleeveless blouse without those nasty little impure thoughts.
   Naughty women!!

   Just watched my local news and they mentioned the murdering of the Said girls. I almost laughed when he said “there was no known motive.”

   Ha!

   What channel were you watching navywife? Here, they’ve quit saying honor killing but
   keep talking about the fact that they want to be like their peers and date outside of
   their religion.

   I’m in North FL and it’s not an affiliate, just local news. They didn’t even call it an honor killing. They simply said a father was being sought for the murder of his daughters in Texas. That pretty much summed it up. I can’t even find any links on their website.

   Hi Rusty, Where in the bible did Jesus instruct His followers to kill their own children because of some sin? I think someday and not too soon that some advocates will promote post birth abortion. These muslim killings seems to be the beginning of legal post birth abortions. NOW and Amnesty seem to go along with such matters.

    The girls had tried to tell several authority figures that they were afraid of their
    father and they and the mother had left their father, but returned last week. He
    probably promised to change. If you remember, Aqsa came back because her
    parents said they could not sleep with her away from home and killed her when
    she returned.
    This seems to be the pattern. When they try to get away, they are lured back into
    danger by their killers.
    Where are shelters for these females?

    Our Fox affliate and the son (not being called girls brother) keep saying it was
    not religious, but that he killed them because they were dating outside their
    religion. You can’t have it both ways. Outside their religion = religious. The
    Mother is an American and therefore did not help him kill the girls as so many
    middle eastern Mothers do.

    Well.. I think that this is a sick and sad story. As a father with 2 daughters, I cannot imagine the mentality that anyone has to do such an act.

    Now as to the piling on here and for those who state that “Islam is evil” “Islam cannot exist in a democracy” When Christians do a similar thing it is different” I say shame on you.

    As a Catholic I have my beliefs and share these beliefs with my friends and family I also am open to the beliefs of my friends of Jewish, Hindu, Muslim and other faiths. While I may not share in their beliefs, I would fight for their right to practice in our country.

    Extremism is present in all faiths and for some to say that our faith is better because we react to our extremism differently is hiding behind a crutch.

    I say that we need to act righteous and speak out and fight against extremism of all faiths.

    supersean,
    As a person ignorant of the tenets and history of islam, it’s funny that you would cast shame on those who have taken the time to study this cult of death and warn others of the danger in appeasing it.

    If you dig deeper, the killing in Chicago by the Hindu man wasn’t an honor killing. He made up that story at booking. The family is saying that everyone, including the father, was happy about the wedding. The father was an abusive drunk and exhorted money from the son-in-law and apparently set the apartment on fire in retaliation over some dispute. So get your facts straight before making claims as we demand the MSM do.

    warden,

    Labeling me as ignorant without knowing my background is what would meet the definition of ignorant.

    If you are a scholar of history, you can reflect on those who have used the Christian and Catholic faiths to justify horrendous acts.

    It is a fact that Islamic extremism is a growing threat and a threat that must be neutralized with force (not by Dr. Phil). But this extremism is a reflection of a minority of those who practice the faith of Islam.

    supersean,
    I’ve gone ahead and done some research for you. It wasn’t hard.

    ig·no·rant –adjective
    lacking knowledge or information as to a particular subject or fact: ignorant of quantum physics.
    uninformed; unaware.
    due to or showing lack of knowledge or training: an ignorant statement.

    I wasn’t labeling you. I was merely stating that your moral relativism shows your lack of understanding of the greatest threat of our time: Appeasement

    I really hate to hear otherwise intelligent people say these like “most muslims are peaceful” and “it is a small minority of muslims that do these things.” That’s like saying “most Christians don’t really believe in Jesus”, or “it’s a small minority of Americans that would actually defend, unto death, their way of life.” None of those statements are true. When Muslims kill infidels, little old Muslim ladies dance in the streets in their Burkhas. Cab drivers and convenience store clerks smile and laugh and high-five when a terrorist blows up an infidel’s World Trade Center or passenger Airliner(s). Get with it. These people animals are the enemy. All of them. THey made themselves our enemy from the very inception of Islam, and their Koran clearly states that they must not stop fighting until the entire world has been subjugated. Period. Of course they lie and claim to be peaceful. They ARE peaceful (NOT), once you submit. Their beliefs are not compatible with freedom and capitalism. Period. And believe me, no matter how “peaceful” they are, when it comes time to choose sides, you know where they stand. Where do YOU stand?
