Mark Steyn: Kingston not a good place for female Muslims.

From The National Review:

Watery Graves [Mark Steyn]

Three or so weeks back, a submerged car was found in the Rideau Canal in Kingston, Ont., containing the bodies of three teenage girls and their aunt — a story initially reported as Mysterious Death Of 4 Quebecers Baffles Kingston Police. When it emerged that the four female Quebecers were, in fact, Muslim, the tearful parents offered up a strange tale of an impromptu midnight driving lesson gone tragically wrong (Driving Lesson May Have Led To Drowning).

La Presse is now reporting that the girls’ father, mother, and brother have been arrested en route to Montreal Airport, and that the deceased “aunt” or (alternatively) “cousin” was, in fact, the girls’ father’s first wife. The words “crime d’honneur” are beginning to creep into newspaper accounts.

Meanwhile, the blogger Scaramouche suggests that, while they’re looking into honor killings in the Kingston area, the constabulary might take a gander at another curious aquatic accident this month:

Police say 14-year-old Kinza Kaianad died Monday evening at Kingston General Hospital as a result of injuries she sustained Saturday in a hotel pool in Gananoque, roughly 30 kilometres east of Kingston.

Her mother, 43-year-old Naila Yasmin, died in hospital on Sunday.

Yasmin, Kaianad and another daughter, age 11, were found unconscious in the indoor hotel pool just before 9 a.m. Saturday.

There would seem to be a statistically improbable number of multiple drownings of female members of Muslim families in Kingston this summer. If you’re a young female Muslim, and you have any say in the matter, you might want to vacation elsewhere.

[UPDATE: The third Muslim girl found in the swimming pool has died. That’s seven drowned young Muslim females showing up in the same morgue within a month. In other circumstances, they’d be planning the movie with Ashley Judd or some such as the crusading feminist Assistant DA. But as the M-word’s involved I expect poor Zainab Shafi and the rest will be quickly forgotten.]

‘Honour killings’ of females on rise in Canada: Expert

Posted on by

From Canada.Com:

By Shannon Proudfoot, Canwest News ServiceJuly 23, 2009 8:46 PM

As many as 5,000 women and girls lose their lives — most at the hands of family members — in “honour killings” around the world each year, according to the United Nations.

Up to a dozen have died for the same reason in Canada in the last decade, and it’s happening more often, says Amin Muhammad, a psychiatrist who studies honour killings at Memorial University in Newfoundland.

“There are a number of organizations which don’t accept the idea of honour killing; they say it’s a Western-propagated myth by the media, but it’s not true,” he says. “Honour killing is there, and we should acknowledge it, and Canada should take it seriously.”

Kingston, Ont., police are now investigating that as a motive in the deaths of three teenage sisters and an older female relative who were found in a car submerged in the Rideau Canal in Kingston on June 30. The girls’ mother, father and brother were arrested on Wednesday and charged with first-degree murder.

“In our Canadian society, we value the cultural values of everyone that makes up this great country, and some of us have different core beliefs, different family values, different sets of rules,” Kingston Police Chief Stephen Tanner said at a news conference on Thursday. “Certainly, these individuals — in particular, the three teenagers — were Canadian teenagers who have all the freedom and rights of expression of all Canadians.”

He added that he’d received an e-mail from an extended family member of the girls, suggesting honour killing was to blame for their deaths. Continue Reading →

Kingston Police Call It A “Muslim Honor Killing.”

Posted on by

From Phyllis Chesler and Pajamas Media:

Family Charged with Four Counts of First Degree Murder and Four Counts of Conspiracy to Commit Murder

At 2pm est today, on a CFRA radio press conference, it was announced that the police have finally described the deaths of four Afghan-Canadian girls and women, as a “Muslim honor killing.” If the police are right, this is the fifth known honor killing in Canada since 1999 and it brings the death toll to nine victims. I am no statistician but I have friends who are and they tell me that this is a very high number given that the Muslim and Sikh population in Canada is no more than one million.

Let’s hear it for the Canadian police! They have just charged the Shahi family with counts of first-degree murder and four counts of conspiracy to commit murder in this case. In other words, they understand that both classic and often unique honor murders are planned and performed by families, not only by individuals.

Kingston police chief, Stephen Tanner said “It was a needless and senseless loss of human life…They had their lives cut short by members of their own family.”

Only once, in 2008, did our own FBI describe an honor killing as an honor killing. They did so in the case of the Said Dallas case but within ten days, they retracted that description. One can only imagine why. (And one does not know what the Canadian police or prosecutor will ultimately say).

This is also the second Afghan-Canadian honor killing. The first one took place in 2006, and was a brother-on-sister murder. The brother, Hasibullah Sadiqi, shot his sister and her fiancée in a shopping mall in Ottawa. Sadiqi stood trial in 2009.

Here is the background to this latest developing story in Canada.

DisplayPhoto.ashxThey married in Kabul in 1979, the year the Russians invaded. Rona Amir Mohammed was Mohammed Safi’s first and only wife—that is, until it was clear she could have no children. At some point, he married a second wife, Tooba Mohammed Yahya, with whom he had four (or seven) children: three daughters and one son. The daughters were all born in Kabul, the son might have been born in Dubai. They all moved to Canada two years ago.

No one in St. Leonard, a suburb of Montreal, knew that Safi was living with two wives. Rona, his first wife, was an intimate member of the family, variously introduced as a “relative,” an “aunt,” a “cousin.” From a Muslim point of view, Safi behaved honorably because he did not divorce or banish his first wife even though she was infertile. How polygamy itself as well as secretive polygamy may psychologically affect a family is another matter entirely. And, while Safi may have appeared westernized, that was far from the truth.

Last month, 50 year-old Rona, 19-year-old-Zainab, 17-year-old Sahar, and 13-year-old Geeti were mysteriously all found dead in a car submerged in the Rideau Canal. The car entered the canal backwards. This suggests that Rona had co-parented these girls and perhaps that she supported their westernization.

Is this really an honor killing? I am not sure but let’s consider these facts:

Safi, a polygamist, considered his eldest daughter Zainab, to be a “rebel.” He accused her of having a boyfriend. He also told the police that Zainab had taken the car “on a joyride.” Safi mocked Zainab’s driving ability.

The fact that his first wife was found dead along with the second wife’s “rebellious” older daughter suggests that Rona might have argued for Zainab or might, herself, have longed for a more westernized life. I am not sure why the two younger girls also had to die. Perhaps they were seen as already too influenced by their older sister. Maybe they were in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Well, it could have been a mysterious accident. But yesterday, the police arrested Mohammed Safi, his second wife, Tooba, and their eldest son on their way to Montreal’s Trudeau’s International airport. Why would they be leaving at this point? Where were they going?

Atlas Shrugs has the photos of the marriage between Rona and Mohammed of thirty years ago. Rona’s sister, Diba Massomi, sent them to the police. It was she who first suggested that this was an honor killing.

Massomi emailed the Kingston police and said that “for some time, my sister and the Shafi couple’s oldest daughter Zainab, had been receiving death threats for social, cultural, and family reasons.”

Family members charged with first-degree murder in Kingston canal deaths

Picture 7.jpgFrom The Ottawa Citizen:

KINGSTON, Ont. — Three family members from Montreal were charged Thursday in the deaths of three young sisters and a woman last month in Kingston, Ont.

The girls’ father Mohammad Shafii, mother Tooba Mohammad Yahya and 18-year-old brother, Hamid Mohammed Shafii, were each charged with four counts of first-degree murder and four counts of conspiracy to commit murder, Kingston police said at a news conference Thursday.

“It was a needless and sensitive loss of human life,” said Kingston police chief Stephen Tanner. ” . . . They had their lives cut short by members of their own family.”

The bodies of three sisters — Zainab Shafii, 19, Sahar Shafii, 17 and Geeti Shafii, 13 — and their female relative Rona Amir Mohammed, 50, were discovered in a submerged car, near the Kingston Mills locks on the Rideau Canal June 30. The older woman has now been confirmed to be the girls’ father’s first wife.

While Kingston police have always referred to the deaths as suspicious, they revealed Thursday that they had been looking at this case as a homicide all along.

A coroner’s investigation has been completed but police say they will not release the cause of deaths of the four women until they are before the courts.

The three accused had told police the family were returning to Montreal after vacationing and visiting relatives in Niagara Falls.

The family, travelling in two cars, stopped at a hotel late at night during the trip and, according to Yahya, the girls’ mother, that her eldest daughter had asked for the keys to their Nissan Altima.

Yahya said she assumed her daughter wanted to practise driving and took the car without permission before it somehow ended up in the canal.

Police said Thursday that the three accused were actually the ones who “operated” the Nissan.

The second vehicle, a Lexus, which had been driving back to Montreal by the girls’ brother, has been linked to the crime scene, police said.

Investigators said it took three weeks to make the arrests because it was a “unique” case involving information coming in from overseas. Tanner confirmed that an email was received by police by someone who claimed to be a relative. He would not say if it was from Diba Masoomi, a woman living in Niort, France who claims to be the older woman’s sister. He said that would be revealed at a later date.

Three children aged 8 to 15 have been taken in child protection services in Montreal.

The three sisters were all born in Kabul, Afghanistan. Their family moved to Dubai in the 1990s and to Canada two years ago.

An honour killing? Ontario police make arrests:

An honour killing? honorkilling10X

Posted By ROB TRIPP RT****@*****IG.COM

Updated 2 hours ago

Kingston Police have arrested at least three people in connection with the mysterious deaths of four Montreal women found in a submerged car in Kingston Mills on June 30.

Police sources confirmed the dramatic development in the case yesterday, 22 days after a black Nissan Sentra was found in roughly three metres of water near one of the four locks.

Three teenage sisters were found dead in the car, Zainab Shafi, 19, Sahar, 17, and Geeti, 13, along with a 50-year-old woman, Rona Amir Mohammed.

La Presse newspaper in Montreal said three people who were heading to Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport were arrested yesterday morning.

Initially, police said the case was suspicious but that they had not found evidence of foul play.

It’s not clear what charges are being laid, but the Whig-Standard learned that Kingston Police have been investigating, for at least two weeks, the allegation that the deaths were an honour killing. Continue Reading →

From Pakistan’s Daily Star:

Killed over dowry
Mother of 2 beaten up, ‘forced’ to drink poison
A Correspondent, Narsingdi
A 29-year old woman lost her life in Narsingdi yesterday after her dowry demanding husband beat her up and allegedly forced her to drink poison.

Suraiya Akhter, 28, a mother of two from Joshor village under Shibpur upazila, died on the way to the local hospital.

Relatives said that Suraiya’s husband Anwar Hossain, 32, of the same village has long been torturing his wife for dowry from her parents. He wanted Tk 1 lakh in cash.

As her parents were not able to cough up this amount, Anwar regularly tortured his wife.

On Friday night, an argument broke out between the husband and wife again over this matter, and Anwar mercilessly beat his wife and later tried to strangle her with his own hands.

As she struggled to breathe, Anwar allegedly forced her to drink poison before taking her to the hospital.

She died on the way, and Anwar told everyone that Suraiya had committed suicide. Suriaya’s relatives refuted this, citing the regular beatings she received at his hand for dowry.

When they confronted Anwar and accused him of murdering Suraiya, Anwar and his brother Iqbal attacked Suraiya’s relatives with a daa (curved chopper), seriously injuring Arun, Al Amin, Sohrab, Saidur, Khokan and Shamim.

The injured men were admitted into different clinics.

A case has been filed in this regard with Shibpur thana.

Police sent the body to Narsingdi Sadar Hospital for an autopsy.

Jamie Glazov: Interview on FGM and surrounding myths

Posted on by

ainahH/T jdamn

Frontpage Interview’s guest is Ines Laufer, founder of the Task Force for Effective Prevention of Female Genital Mutilation, a network of Human-Rights-organisations and activists that is committed to measurable, broad prevention of genital mutilation among migrant girls in the EU. With the Task Force’s prevention-programme, for the first time true protection of minor girls from this violence comes into reach.

FP: Ines Laufer, welcome to Frontpage Interview.

I would like to build on our last interview about how European politics give a helping hand to Female Genital Mutilation.

Let’s talk a bit about the myths, lies and errors about FGM.

Laufer: Sure, thanks Jamie.

Today, after 30 years of widely unsuccessful efforts for an end of the torturing mutilations, the time is overripe to identify, name and overcome all the fatal myths, lies and fundamental errors which continue to be spread even by so-called scientists and even most “activists”.

To reveal all those myths is about much more than being right or wrong; it’s about explaining WHY most strategies in the fight to end FGM until now are predestined to fail – and to be not much more than a waste of money, time, energy and resources – while millions of little girls continue to be maimed every year.

It’s about going to the roots and finding out the baleful mechanisms that lead to the continuation of this violent practice.

Finally, it’s about reforming the approaches and strategies, it’s about effective investment of resources and it’s about measurable results.

It’s about leaving worn-out paths which do only lead into a dead-end-street.

FP: Indeed, so let’s start with some of the myths. The first one is, obviously, that FGM has nothing to do with Islam, right?

Laufer: Right.

Myth #1: FGM has nothing to do with Islam as it is not mentioned in the Koran.

As soon as it comes to discussions about the influence of religion on the worldwide perpetration of FGM on little girl-children, most “activists,” organisations and politicians are very anxious to explain that genital mutilations have nothing to do with Islam, that they are not mentioned in the Koran, and that there are followers of other religions, especially Christians and Animists, who also submit their female members to FGM.

Of course, FGM is prevalent among other religious groups than Islam – but it is mistaken to reason that there would not be a very close and very fatal link between Islam and FGM.

The truth is: Today, the vast majority of FGM-victims are Muslim girls and women. This is not even a surprise – because regardless the fact that FGM is not mentioned in the Koran, Muslim clerics widely propagate FGM and publicly legitimize this violence and instigate it. They do not even need to cite the Koran, because they simply refers to the Hadith of the prophet Mohammed.

It is hard going to argue if the FGM-concerned Hadith are “weak” or “strong”.

The only thing that counts is the social reality: In the 21st century, Islam is the only religion that is systematically being exploited by male authorities to make sure that women and their sexuality are brought under male’s control by destroying the most sensitive sexual part of the body, the clitoris.

But until now, the highest Islamic authorities deny their active participation and responsibility in spreading the mutilation-practice all over the world and strictly encourage its continuation – not only in African, Arabian or Asian countries, but also in Europe.[1]

FP: And the places in Africa that FGM is most prevalent are Muslim.

Laufer: Right. If one has a look at the FGM-practicing countries on the world-map, one can hardly elude from the following cognition: In Africa, the countries where genital mutilations have been adopted, all belong to the “belt of Islamisation”. This fact – as well as hints which indicate that in Western-Africa, FGM does not date back more than 500 years – allows the assumption that FGM has been spread to Middle and Western Africa by Islamization.

Muslim women should be killed for marrying a non Muslim

Posted on by

Here is a recent ‘fatwa’ or religious ruling from Islam Q&A about what should happen to a Muslim women who marries a Christian etc. While it may not specifically say execute her, it is fairly clearly implied. Not hard to find out what should happen to apostates and that is how they will view her.

Thanks to Grace who has thick sturdy hip waders capable of wallowing through this much hate literature  on various Islamic sites for finding this.

What is the punishment for a Muslim woman who marries a Christian man?

How is a woman to be punished if she marries a Christian? How often is it carried out and in what countries is it most common?


Praise be to Allaah.

It is not permissible for a Muslim woman to marry a kaafir (non-Muslim), whether he is Jewish, Christian or an idol-worshipper, because the man has authority over his wife, and it is not permissible for a kaafir to have authority over a Muslim woman. For Islam is the true religion and all other religions are false. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“And give not (your daughters) in marriage to Al-Mushrikoon till they believe (in Allaah Alone)” [al-Baqarah 2:221]

“And never will Allaah grant to the disbelievers a way (to triumph) over the believers” [al-Nisaa’ 4:141]

And the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Islam should prevail and should not be prevailed over.”

If a Muslim woman marries a kaafir when she knows the ruling, then she is a zaaniyah (adulteress), and her punishment is the punishment for adultery. If she was ignorant of the ruling then she is excused, but they must be separated, and there is no need for a divorce because the marriage is null and void. On this basis, the Muslim woman whom Allaah has honoured with Islam and her guardian must beware of that and must adhere to the limits set by Allaah, and they must feel proud of Islam. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“Those who take disbelievers for Awliyaa’ (protectors or helpers or friends) instead of believers, do they seek honour, power and glory with them? Verily, then to Allaah belongs all honour, power and glory” [al-Nisaa’ 4:139]

More on the various forms of Islamic oppression of women.

Sarkozi’s comments have at last opened a debate that should have happened in the free world (read non Muslim world) literally decades ago. I remember in the 1980s reading about men on motorcycles slaughtering women and school girls in Algeria at bus stops for not wearing certain garments.

At the time, I thought perhaps there was something wrong with nations that began with an A. Afghanistan, Algeria, Albania, Azerbaijan. It wasn’t until some years later I came to realize it has more to do with the fact that in all those nations people think in a manner that begins with an I.

ishr-burka

Phyllis Chesler, one of the very few feminist writers who actually is a feminist wrote a column today which I feel all need to read here.

A brief except:

“A 1994 fatwa legalized the killing of girls and women not wearing the hijab (which in Algeria consists of a scarf that hides the hair and neck and a full-length robe; veil is not an accurate translation); another fatwa legalized kidnapping and temporary marriage. … Muslim women do not have the right to work outside the home, become political leaders, or participate in sports. They should not wear makeup, perfume, fitted clothes, or mingle with men in public; they should wear the hijab, ‘which not only establishes the distinction between masculine and feminine, but underscores the separation between public and private’ …According to El Mounquid, the official FIS journal, the hijab distinguishes Muslims from non-Muslims; it is obligatory for Muslim women and not an individual decision.”

There is a specific and important point that urgently needs to be known and understood by people in the western world. Islam is simply not like Catholicism Judaism or any offshoot of either. Islam forces people to it. If you are a Muslim women you obey draconian rules which are tantamount to complete loss of freedoms and even personal identity in ways most of us cannot imagine. If you chose to leave Islam, you are killed where the numbers of Muslims are high enough to allow this with some impunity. Sharia courts which are rapidly growing all over the western world especially in the UK are NOT the same as Catholic or Jewish family law ones no matter what the gonadless premiere of Ontario claims when he eliminated them all in the interests of fairness. Certainly a lesser evil than allowing sharia ones but stupid in that it showed a lack of understanding of what Islam and sharia actually are.

One does not eliminate all things called showers merely because one culture at one time insisted on forcing other people into ones where instead of water they produced cyanide gas. The issue was the poison, not the name of the delivery system.

Sadiqi gets life for femicide of sister

A “twisted sense of values” led an Ottawa man to murder his sister and the man she loved, the judge in an honour killing trial said Saturday.

“You put your own self-esteem over those of your own sister and the young man she had chosen to become her life partner,” Ontario Superior Court Justice Douglas Rutherford told an expressionless Hasibullah Sadiqi. “And consigning them to partnership in death has shocked and bewildered every community in the nation’s capital. The forfeiture of your liberty for the rest of your life seems only just.”

Minutes earlier, the jury returned a verdict of guilty on two counts of first-degree murder against 23-year-old Sadiqi, who gunned down his 20-year-old sister, Khatera, and her fiancé, Feroz Mangal, 23, in the early hours of Sept. 19, 2006 while the couple was sitting in her parked car.

‘If We Now Kill Schoolgirls, You Shouldn’t Be Surprised’ – Taliban

Posted on by

WTF Muslims I would be surprised if you stopped. No one is surprised when you butcher women or pour acid on them.

From Der Spiegel:

By Matthias Gebauer and Shoib Najafizada in Kunduz, Afghanistan

Responding to threats from the Taliban, at least 10 girls’ schools have shut down near Kunduz in northern Afghanistan. Visiting the schools is a dangerous proposition — a trip leading directly into the heart of Islamist territory.

When the deputy director of Aqtash High School talks of the government, he isn’t referring to Hamid Karzai’s central government in Kabul. Nor does he refer to the provincial administration in Kunduz. “The Taliban are our government,” Bashir says. “They have taken over our region, their commanders give the orders here.”

PHOTO GALLERY: POWERLESS AGAINST THE TALIBAN

Click on a picture to launch the image gallery (6 Photos)
Bashir is standing in a dusty classroom on the ground floor of his modern school, roughly half an hour from Kunduz by car. As recently as just one month ago, he says, some 400 girls were still coming to the school in three daily shifts to learn reading, writing and arithmetic. Figures and formula are still scrawled across the blackboard.

But now, the girls’ classrooms have been left to deteriorate. The desks and chairs are still laid out in neat rows, but a film of dust has collected, and Bashir stands helplessly in the middle of the room. “Parents in Aqtash are afraid to send their girls to school anymore, after the death threats,” he explains. The school director speaks quietly and carefully. He too is afraid, and several of his teachers double as informants for the Taliban. The bearded fighters, he says, would certainly not like it if they knew a reporter was at the school in Aqtash. “You should leave quickly if you want to get out of Aqtash alive,” he whispers.

‘Apprehended and Killed’

Bashir’s warning is hardly an exaggeration. Not 30 minutes after our arrival in Aqtash, located 15 kilometers northeast of Kunduz just off the main north-south arterial, a group of a dozen Taliban fighters, armed with AK-47s, gathers in front of the blue arch at the entrance to the school. “What do you want here?” one of the fighters calls. “This is our region, the Islamic Emirate of North Afghanistan.” Continue Reading →

PBS on the Taliban, use of children as weapons, Islam and Pakistan

This video from PBS:



Despite this journalists wonderful detachment and staunch effort to show an even objective expose of this issue and these people, it is difficult not to notice the fear she hides when she is face to face with some young turdburger who tells her the government must treat women as plastic bags. You can see she is in immediate danger for her life if she argues the point. These people, Islam, does not debate. These are not Jews. Much of this documentary has nothing new for readers of Vlad. But there are still some shocking revelations about  how serious Islam really is in terms of illiberal values and it’s ambitions for the rest of us, and perhaps mpore interestingly, when PBS does an expose showing the horrors of Islam to this extent. you know things are bad. We expect the facts from FOX when they may not be PC. Its quite another thing when PBS calls it like it is.

A defence you can garden with. The Sidiqi trial continues:

Posted on by

Once it’s finished you can fertilize a whole public park with it. I wonder where I can get a job holding a gun for someone who pay’s me $500.00 a month. Hell Ill hold 4 of them and never bother working at all. I guess as he say’s in the last couple of paragraphs, he has a part time job making martyrs as well.

From the Ottawa Citizen:

After shooting his sister and her fiancé, there was silence, Hasibullah Sadiqi told a jury on Friday. He remembered his ears ringing, and a .44 Magnum revolver in his hand.

Sadiqi, his sister, Khatera, and her fiancé, Feroz Mangal, had been out for dinner and movie with friends that night in September 2006.

On their way back to the Elmvale Acres shopping plaza, where Sadiqi had left his car, it was “pretty tense” as they entered the parking lot, Sadiqi testified at his murder trial.

Conversation had turned to their father, from whom Khatera was estranged, Sadiqi said.

Sadiqi told the court he had wanted his sister to speak to their father or at least respect and understand that he was “there for us,” during their youth. Sadiqi had hoped Mangal, as “an Afghani guy too and as a man,” would take his side and back him up, but instead, he stuck up for Khatera, Sadiqi testified.

Sadiqi said he tried to persuade his sister that their family needed unity around the engagement time, but the couple was being “hard-headed.”

Frustrated, Sadiqi eventually left the car and gave a dismissive wave, he testified. Then, he said, Mangal spoke.

“He said, ‘f— you, f— your father, f— your sister. I’ll bring your sister’s dead body to the wedding before I ever let her talk to your father. F— you,” Sadiqi told the court.

“Right there, I just exploded,” Sadiqi said.

“I felt like a thunderbolt hit my head, like I got shot, like someone broke a beer bottle on my head. Right there, I just lost total control. After that, I don’t know, I don’t remember.

“I remember that everything goes silent. Everything goes silent and my ears — my ear is ringing and I see the gun in my hand and I know something went wrong. I know that something is not right.”

Surveillance video shown to the jury shows flashes — believed to be gunshots — that start 46 seconds after the car entered the parking lot.

Khatera died at the scene, while Mangal was taken off life support and died 10 days later. Sadiqi faces two counts of first-degree murder in what the Crown argues was an “honour killing” sparked by anger over the couple’s engagement.

Lawyers representing Sadiqi are expected to argue he was provoked.

Under questioning from his lawyer, Lorne Goldstein, Sadiqi said he never formulated a plan to kill his sister, that he had never thought about killing her nor Mangal, and that he never had specific intent to cause their death.

Tribal differences were not an issue and the killings were not done to provide cleansing, he said. Asked what killing his sister did to the honour of the Sadiqi family, Sadiqi replied: “Damage it.”

Sadiqi said he was saddened and ashamed by what he had done. He described being confused, shocked and scared after the shooting, and eventually turned himself in.

Sadiqi said he had not sought bail after being arrested because he wanted to take responsibility.

On Friday, the Crown wrapped up its case with testimony from one of Mangal’s brothers — who described Khatera’s joy at living with the Mangal family — before Sadiqi took the stand.
With his black hair slicked back and wearing a grey suit and light blue shirt unbuttoned at the collar, Sadiqi, 23, said he had been holding the gun and some ammunition for a friend of a friend since early 2006, for $500 per month.

He said he usually kept the gun in his home, but had it in his car, under the driver’s seat, because the friend of a friend had asked him to keep it close in case that person needed it, he said.

But when faced by repeated questions by assistant Crown attorney Mark Moors regarding details of the friends and the gun, Sadiqi refused to identify the people or location where he’d received the weapon, even when directed to do so by Ontario Superior Court Justice Douglas Rutherford.
