Arizona Prosecutors Won’t Seek Death Penalty in Honor Killing

Faleh and Noor al-Maleki

 PAJAMASMEDIA… Remember the case in which Faleh al-Maleki, an Iraqi-American father brutally ran over his daughter, Noor, in Arizona, then attempted to escape but was apprehended in Britain and returned to face justice?

Guess what’s just happened? The Arizona prosecutors have been scared off seeking the death penalty. Public defender Billy Little raised the specter of “How will it look for Christians to execute a Muslim?”

I kid you not.

Billy Little asked the judge to “take special precautions to ensure the County Attorney’s Office wouldn’t wrongly seek the death penalty because Almaleki is a Muslim.” Little called for an “open process (to) provide some level of assurance that there is no appearance that a Christian is seeking to execute a Muslim for racial, political, religious or cultural beliefs,” referring to County Attorney Andrew Thomas’ Christian faith.

Whoa!

Words fail me here. Are Christian lawyers, by definition, hopelessly biased against Muslims? This is a fact not in evidence. Is the public defender Christian? Why should this matter in America? What if the judge is Christian? Does Billy Little understand that Muslim judges do not usually prosecute men who honor murder their wives, sisters, or daughters?

But prithee pause. Allow me to take another approach. If Billy Little is that concerned with not shedding Muslim blood: Faleh al-Maleki is a Muslim who also killed a Muslim; he rode right over his daughter with a two-ton jeep. Is her female Muslim blood cheaper than his male Muslim blood? And, let’s not forget: Al-Maleki attempted to murder another Muslim woman who was sheltering his daughter.

Little also rattled his sword about the importance of keeping “religion” out of the proceeding…while simultaneously using the defendant’s religion to insist that his life be spared! In any event, even most Islamists insist that Islam has nothing to do with honor killings, that it is a tribal custom, one that existed long before Islam arose. (And, I must add, a custom which all-mighty Islam has been unable or unwilling to abolish).

Fine. Keep religion out of it if you must. Call it a dirty tribal custom. But let’s be honest. You just don’t see many Buddhists, Jews, or Christians killing their daughters because they refuse to remain in arranged marriages or because they want to lead independent lives. This was precisely why al-Maleki killed his daughter.

According to the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office, Al Maleki is still being charged with first degree murder, aggravated assault, and two counts of leaving the scene of a serious accident.

So: Why have the prosecutors backed down? Has the same politically correct culture that has so fatally infected the American military (Fort Hood, etc.) infected the prosecutor’s office as well? Are Arizonians unconsciously guilty about living on indigenous Apache and Navajo land and see al-Maleki as a symbol of indigenous cultures?

I am not a huge fan of the death penalty; it is applied in racially biased ways and innocent people have been executed. And yet: Do the prosecutors really believe that being sentenced to life in prison (as an “honorable” man) will deter the next dishonorable honor killer in our midst, to whom his miserable, misogynist concept of “honor” is more important than life? Certainly, far more important than female life.

Turkey: girl buried alive for talking to boys

Posted on by

Sixteen year old Medine Memi’s father was unhappy that his daughter had male friends. Her grandfather beat her for having friendships with boys. Her hand-bound body was recovered in December from a shallow hole dug under a chicken pen on the family property. Her lungs and stomach were filled with soil, indicating that she had been buried alive.

“She has male friends” her father said, “We are uneasy about that.”

Her death followed a family ‘council’ meeting. Official figures show that such honour killings account for half of all murders which occur yearly in Turkey.

Medine Memi was found in a sitting position with her hands tied, in a two-metre hole dug under a chicken pen outside her home in Kahta, in the south-eastern province of Adiyaman.

Her father and grandfather have since been arrested and are due to face trial over her death. Her mother was also charged but has since been released.

Police made the discovery in December after a tip-off from an informant, the Turkish newspaper Hurriyet reported on its website.

Medine had first been reported missing 40 days earlier.

The informant told the police she had been killed following a family “council” meeting. Continue Reading →

Man murders wife with her own veil for being ‘too Australian’

Posted on by

Soltan Ahmid Azizi told his wife she was nothing but a slave to him with no rights and her sole purpose was to have babies and raise children. Marzeih Rahimi a victim of forced marriage who had endured abuse and was trying to escape, was found strangled to death in the family home.  Her young children who were unharmed, sat next to her.

Court hears that Afghan man strangled his wife after complaining she was ‘becoming Australian’

AN Afghan man strangled his wife with her veil after complaining she was “becoming Australian”, a jury has heard.

Mother of five Marzieh Rahimi, who was said to be trying to escape a violent arranged marriage, was killed in front of her baby and toddler.

Soltan Ahmad Azizi, 45, has pleaded not guilty to her murder at their Hampton Park home in November 2007.

The Supreme Court heard yesterday that Ms Rahimi, 33, had told social workers her husband had branded her a slave with no rights.

Prosecutor Peter Rose, SC, told the jury Ms Rahimi had complained her husband punched her and said her only purpose was to have babies and raise children.

Ms Rahimi, who spoke little English and communicated through an interpreter, had told a family violence officer and a health worker that she wanted to leave the marriage, but that she felt powerless, unsupported and fearful.

In his opening address, Mr Rose told jurors that when Mr Azizi learned she’d talked to outsiders he told her she was shaming him and must stop.

“I’ll kill you because I can’t carry the shame,” he allegedly said when she spoke of separation or divorce.

The jury heard that about a week before his wife’s death, Mr Azizi complained to his sister-in-law that she was “becoming Australian and had changed her religion”.

The cousins wed in an arranged marriage and came to Australia as refugees in 2005. Their eldest children were aged 11, nine and six.

Mr Azizi told police he didn’t plan to kill Ms Rahimi. He said he punched her, then “choked her with her veil”; he then rang 000, telling the operator, “I killed my wife … come see. You come. My kids are only little.”

Police found Ms Rahimi on the floor with her baby, three months, and toddler, 22 months, nearby.

“I’m ready for the handcuffs,” he allegedly told them.

Defence lawyer Stratton Langslow urged the jury to consider whether Ms Rahimi’s claims of domestic violence were prompted by post-natal depression.

He said they should examine the source of the abuse complaints and whether there was any independent evidence of ill-treatment.

Mr Langslow said Mr Azizi admitted killing his wife, but the issue was whether he’d meant to.

The jury heard that after one incident, in which she said Mr Azizi repeatedly punched her, she locked herself in a room for several days with her youngest children. He then began to treat her better, she’d said.

The trial, before Justice Betty King, is continuing.

Man sentenced to 14 years for honour killing of female cousin

Posted on by

Hagen, Germany – A 21-year-old man has been sentenced to 14 years in jail for killing his cousin in a so-called ‘honour-killing’, a German regional court said Tuesday.

The victim, a 20-year-old woman, was shot dead in a motorway carpark in August 2008, after what the court in North-Rhine Westphalia described as a ‘family tribunal’ had ruled that the woman’s ‘westernized’ lifestyle outraged members of her conservative Syrian-origin family.

A second man, the 48-year-old uncle of the victim, was also implicated in the crime, but has since fled Germany.

The court said that the family had objected to the woman’s way of dressing, her habit of smoking in public and her acquaintances with men outside her family circle.

‘Honour killing’ is the term used to describe killings motivated by a perceived transgression of cultural norms.

In Germany it is normally associated with the country’s Turkish and Middle Eastern minorities.

Actress attacked in Paris with petrol and fire by Muslims

From The Telegraph

An actress was doused with petrol in Paris in an attack thought to be related to her role in a feminist play she wrote about Algerian women.

By Our Foreign Staff
Published: 6:10PM GMT 15 Jan 2010

The 45-year-old, who goes by the name of Rayhana, said two men approached her while she was walking to the theatre on Tuesday, grabbed her from behind, slapped her face and poured petrol on her. “I could smell the petrol. A flame brushed my hat and then I ran,” she said.

She has since been placed under police protection and the investigation into the attack is being led by the anti-terrorism unit, which has tackled many cases involving Muslim extremists.

Rayhana is starring in At My Age, I Still Hide to Have a Smoke, a play she wrote about a group of women who chat about their lives during a visit to an Algiers spa. The sell-out play features unflattering views on Muslim men.

In the weeks leading up to Tuesday’s attack, the actress said she had received threats and complained to police.

Honour killings, Finland and elsewhere.

Here is a Vladtepesblog and Tundra Tabloids original. The heavy lifting was Tundra who translated this video, and VTB titled and edited it. Here is a rather excellent example of the train wreck that occurs when political correctness meets Islam. Despite the overwhelming evidence this 12 minute documentary shows about Islamic violence and dominance of women, Finnish state TV felt the need to have 2 minutes of propaganda about how Islam does not condone violence and especially against women.

Here at Vlad we decided to take that bit out and instead, put in a few verses from Koran and Hadith about women that explain the actual facts rather better.

A Pakistani Christian reminds us of what the word ‘Martyr’ actually means.

Posted on by

Muslims love to sodomize the meaning of important words in order to try and assuage the fears of westerners on the one hand, while ramping up the fears on another. One of the words they like to grotesquely abuse, is the word Martyr. In Islam, a Martyr is someone who volunteers to become the guidance system of a WMD. If they kill enough civilians, they can get a street named after them in Gaza or Tehran. Below, we are reminded of what martyr actually means.

Thank you Baron for the tip and Christian Post for writing it up

Jesus tells us that the first shall be last, the least will be the greatest in the kingdom. He elevates repentant sinners and tax-collectors above Pharisees and wealthy leaders. And through His apostle Paul, He reminds us that He chose the foolish things of this world, the weak, and the despised, to show the glories of his wisdom.

A recent story coming from Pakistan seems to fit this pattern exactly. In late October, at Islamabad’s International Islamic University, an Islamic suicide bomber tried to attack the women’s side of campus. But there worked a lowly janitor, Pervaiz Masih, who like so many of the 2 percent Christian minority in this 95 percent Muslim country are relegated to the most menial jobs in society-garbage collectors, sewage workers, and servants.

The suicide bomber was making his way to a cafeteria of some 300 to 400 women students, when Masih came between him and his goal. Masih is a common name among the Christian minority-it means Messiah. And on October 20th, Masih certainly followed in the footsteps of Jesus, the true Messiah. He refused to let the bomber pass. In the process the bomb detonated, killing Masih, the bomber, and three girls nearby. Meanwhile, the 300 to 400 Muslim girls inside the cafeteria were unharmed.

In the midst of the rubble from the explosion lay two martyrs. A so-called Muslim “martyr” had maliciously murdered others. Meanwhile, a Christian martyr had laid down his life for his brethren. A Christian died to save Muslims from a fellow Muslim.

CNN reported Professor Fateh Muhammad Malik, a rector of the university, as saying that Pervez Masih “rose above the barriers of caste, creed and sectarian terrorism. Despite being a Christian, he sacrificed his life to save the Muslim girls.” Continue Reading →

Forced Islamization of Christian Girls Supported By Egyptian State

Posted on by

H/T Gates of Vienna: From AINA.Org

Cairo (AINA) — The phenomenon of abduction, rape and forced Islamization of Christian girls in Egypt was shown for the first time on the Christian TV channel “Life TV”, which broadcasts from outside Egypt and has nearly 60 million Arab-speaking viewers in Egypt and around the world.

The testimonies of the victims and their families came as a shock to many, including Egyptian Christians, since this issue is taboo for the Egyptian media, “Our role is to expose those behind those crimes,” said Rasheed El Maghreby, the program’s moderator.

The program was aired in mid-November 2009, and interviewed Mr. Magdi Khalil, an authority on Coptic affairs who has made a complete field study on forced Islamization of Christian minors in Egypt. Mr Khalil explained that this phenomenon in its present form is nearly 40 years old, and most of these conversion crimes, with a few isolated exceptions, are carried out by organized Islamization gangs or “Islamization Mafia”, a termed coined by him, which are fully funded by the state and supported by State Security.

“Those highly organized gangs carry out systematic planning,” says Khalil. “Besides violent forced abductions, other devious means include allurement, deception, psychological pressure, financial temptation, emotional relationships ending in rape and photographs taken to blackmail the victims into conversion, and spreading fear in the hearts of their families. They turn the minor into a broken, humble, and submissive person who drifts along a road which would have been impossible for her to take under normal circumstances or in an atmosphere of family or legal protection, and of her own free will.”

The TV program aired three cases of victims throwing light on the complete disadvantage of the affected families in front of the “Islamization mafia”, in view of the complete lack of support, if not collusion, of the authorities.

Ingy Adel, now 16, was abducted at the age of 12 on her way to school by being anaesthetized and bundled into a car. “I was taken into a room by a man called Sultan, who tied my hands behind my back and raped me,” said Ingy. Four men followed Sultan in raping her, “I felt as each one of them raped me, that I was their enemy. They have beaten me ferociously.” She said that for a whole month she was given drugs and raped, “more than 50 men raped me.” After two months and only through the efforts of her father she was found and brought back home. When they reported the crime to the State Security she was beaten by the officer to change her testimony and say that she ran away from her family with her own free will. “Until today they have done nothing about it and will not do anything, because I am a Christian,” sobs Ingy (see testimony).

Another victim was Amal Zaki from Mahalla el-Kubra. “I received a phone call at work, informing me that my father was taken ill and lies in hospital and wishes to see me urgently. A work colleague with a Burka offered to accompany me. Outside was a car full of sheikhs, and when I refused to get in, I was pushed inside the car, and woke up in a dark room in Dar el Eftah [Al-Azhar affiliated Islamic Legislation Authority]. I knew that I was married to a certain Ahmed Ramadan, the cousin of my Burqa colleague. He tied me to the bed, after three hours I was taken to hospital suffering with haemorrhage.” Amal’s father continued the story: “I went to State Security and they assured me that they will get her back, but they were just fooling me; they knew all along were my daughter was. When I reported Ahmad Ramadan to the police, he said in the police report that State Security told him to marry Amal, take her to Cairo for conversion to Islam, and after 9 days, they told him to divorce her. He presented documents to support his claims” Amal was returned 9 months later after her father paid a ransom to her abductors. Although she never went to Al-Azhar to convert to Islam, she still got a conversion certificate. Continue Reading →

Tulay Goren honour killing: When tolerance is deadly

Posted on by

From The Times Online


>Eleanor Mills

Over the past few months I have spent time at the Old Bailey watching the trial of Mehmet Goren, a father who murdered his 15-year-old daughter because she defied him and ran off with the man she loved.

In the small courtroom, full of bewigged barristers, police officers and Turkish interpreters, I watched as the dark underbelly of multiculturalism unfolded in front of me. The main witness against Mehmet was his wife, Hanim, who broke all the laws of her family’s strict Kurdish culture to testify against her husband. Last week he was convicted and sentenced to life with a minimum of 22 years, but his two brothers, who were accused of conspiracy to murder alongside him, were acquitted.

Hanim and her surviving daughter, Nuray, are terrified of what the wider family might do to them in retribution; the police are taking the threat seriously — panic buttons have been installed at their home. The terrible vengeance of the thwarted father is like a medieval saga but it is playing out in modern London.

It was in January 1999 that Goren strangled or smothered Tulay. The day before she disappeared, her father told her eight-year-old brother Tuncay to say goodbye to his sister “for ever”. When Hanim came home the next day, her husband had a wound on his hand and scratches on his face. For the first time in their married life he had washed his own clothes; his stained shirt was lying on a radiator. Hanim saw that the garden had been dug up “like a ploughed field”; two knives and the washing line were missing. Tulay’s body has not been found.

Mehmet had been in prison twice before they left Turkey. He regularly terrorised his family. Despite being convinced that her husband had killed Tulay, Hanim continued to wash, clean, cook and fulfil her other wifely duties. It must have been hell, but Hanim spoke no English, lived in a strange city and under Kurdish custom was her husband’s chattel. Physically she may have been in north London, but inside her house and her community she lived in feudal southeastern Turkey. How can we allow this to happen? Continue Reading →

Honour killing: police accused of ‘missed opportunities’ over Tulay Goren

Tulay Goren: Honour killing: police accused of 'missed opportunities' over Tulay Goren

The body of Tulay Goren has never been found Photo: PA

Tulay Goren and her family were in contact with police officers nine times over a 10-day period just before her death, as she continued to be assaulted by her violent father, Mehmet Goren.

Police are now facing calls for an investigation into “missed opportunities” and how they “failed miserably” to prevent the murder of Tulay.

In the weeks before her disappearance, Tulay: ran away from home twice; personally reported two attacks by her father, while her boyfriend also reported an assault; asked to be sent to a children’s home rather than go back to her family; and specifically requested that officers note down her assault complaints down in case of future attacks.

Meanwhile, her own relatives complained to police about her boyfriend, saying that he was “pestering” her. Police warned the family not to take matters into their own hands.

Goren even went to the police demanding his daughter underwent a virginity test; and later reported her missing, lodging a complaint of unlawful sexual intercourse against her boyfriend. Continue Reading →

Islamic law jails men for beating and blinding crocodile, sanctions mutilation of women

From The Ottawa Citizen

I thought about posting this under the heading ‘Stupid Muslim Tricks’ but realized it’s quite a serious matter. An Islamic court in Bangladesh has sentenced two men for beating and blinding a prehistoric lizard, housed in a pond in front of the Khan Jahan Ali shrine. Cruelty to a crocodile under Islam will net you more jail time than deliberate brutal and barbaric cruelty to a woman. Who knew?

The following article found at bottom from TROP, documents and illustrates the severe cruelty meted out to young girls and women by men who, by their faith believe in exact and precise sharia punishment. It is highly unlikely that one has been incarcerated for their crime(s).

Bangladesh. Two jailed for beating sacred crocodile

Canwest News ServiceNovember 27, 2009

A court in southern Bangladesh sentenced two men to two years in jail after they beat and blinded a sacred crocodile at a Muslim shrine, police said Thursday. A magistrate handed down the punishment after the two — caretakers of the 15th century Khan Jahan Ali shrine in coastal Bagerhat district — were found guilty of “brutal treatment” of the animal, inspector Khairul Anam said. A pond in front of the shrine is home to crocodiles revered by thousands of devotees who visit the site. The caretakers collect money by showing the crocodiles to pilgrims.

Man gets life after court rejects appeal for sister’s ‘honour killing’

Published: 26 Nov 09 14:02 CET
Online: http://www.thelocal.de/national/20091126-23537.html

A German-Afghan man who stabbed his teenage sister to death in a grisly “honour killing” was sentenced to life imprisonment after a court in Karlsruhe rejected his appeal on Thursday.

In a crime that outraged Germany, the man, identified only as Ahmad-Sobair O. knifed his 16-year-old sister Morsal 23 times as he believed she brought dishonour to their family by wearing Western-style clothes and make-up.

The Federal Court of Justice said it was “convinced that the accused committed the crime because his sister, in his opinion, had ‘stained the family’s honour’.”

The court rejected the appeal that the man was psychologically deranged and upheld the initial judgement by a lower court in Hamburg, in the north of the country.

The killer, aged 24 at the time, had said during his trial that he was “sorry from the bottom of his heart” for his actions. “That was my sister and I loved her,” he told the court, breaking down in tears.

Germany has been shocked by around 50 so-called “honour killings” since 1996, mainly in the country’s large Turkish diaspora.
