“We found the body of the woman at dawn in Ruseifeh (east of Amman). Her throat was slit in a hideous way. The body was burned after the murder,” a police spokesman said.

“We believe it was an honour crime. The belly of the woman, who was in her twenties, was cut open and we could see her four-month-old unborn child, who was dead too. Investigations are still under way.”

CNN covers attempted honour killing in Afghanistan

Posted on by

When CNN tells the truth one has to wonder exactly the purpose of it. I suppose its to make the American people OK with the total withdrawal of US forces from the area. ‘These people here are barbarians. Nothing to do with islam, its just Afghans, and this is why we can’t stay’ or something like that perhaps.

In any case I always worry when the legacy media appears to be on our side. Even so, this is a worthy report on a horrible Islamic-inspired practice.

Florida teen tortured for refusing forced marriage

Posted on by

I find it highly offensive when news media report a forced marriage as an arranged one. It is a lot like reporting rape as a weekend at Club Hedonism Jamaica. Not that rape doesn’t happen there of course.

From the youtube page where this lives:

Published on Mar 20, 2013

In Florida, America, a Moslem woman was arrested for burning and abusing her high school daughter for not marrying her cousin in an arraigned marriage.

I don’t understand why Muslims immigrate to Western countries like the USA, UK, Australia, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, Finland, Ireland, Great Brittan, Denmark, Spain, France, New Zealand, Canada, United Kingdom, United States, Russia and other countries in Europe yet still want to keep their backward Islamic customs and culture?

Clancy murder

TORONTO – A 23-year-old woman who was found strangled to death in North York over the weekend has been officially identified.

Toronto Police say Nyumwai Caroline Mkurazhizha — the city’s latest murder victim — is from the Republic of Zimbabwe.

Officers responded to a call for “unknown trouble” on Clancy Dr., southwest of Don Mills Rd. and Finch Ave. W., around 2:15 p.m. Saturday.

When they arrived at the house, they found a woman suffering from “apparent trauma to the body,” police said earlier this week.

She was taken to hospital where she was pronounced dead.

An autopsy later determined she died of “manual strangulation.”

Mohamed Adam Bharwani, 18, is charged with first-degree murder in the city’s fifth homicide of the year.

Moroccan Muslim of 40 years old, accused of killing his wife by stabbing her 29 times

Hebdo.Ch tard stabs wife 29 times

In april 2011, the accused appeared in front of the regional tribunal of Jura Bernois Seeland A Bienne. The accused must respond to accusations of murder leading to assassination. The crime was committed in Bienne at the home of the victim that was living separately from the accused, a Moroccan immigrant.

A conjugal conflict is the origin of the drama that most likely took place in the presence of the child of the couple, a 3 year old girl. The man called the police and showed no resistance during his arrest.

The prosecutor, Cindy Maeder, has demanded a sentence that includes 12 years of imprisonment. During his hearing the attorney from the public ministry estimated that the accused had not committed an assassination but a murder. She estimates that this gesture had not been premeditated.

In front of the tribunal, the accused explained that two elements were the origins of his gesture. First, the fact that his wife had made it seem that he would lose his authorization to stay in Switzerland in case of divorce. Also, the announcement that she had found somebody that was supporting her financially, from which he deduced that she had a lover.

The weapon used for the crime, a kitchen knife of 18 cm’s long, (7.1″) was found at the crime scene. the accused admitted to these facts and faces an anticipated execution of his sentence, (if he gets only 4 years he will be free 2 years from now) his defence lawyer traded ‘passionate murder’ specifying that his client was under pressure by the victim until he exploded.

He has requested that the sentence does not exceed 4 years of custody. If the five judges of the tribunal have to maintain the murder charge, he expects that the sentence be limited to no more than 7 and 1/2 years of imprisonment. The verdict is expected Thursday Morning.

Saudi preacher gets off light for raping, killing daughter

Posted on by

In one of the excellent briefs on Islam and its intentions for the world, Stephen Coughlin explains the concept of ‘killing with no retribution’ , what we refer to as, ‘honour killings’, as detailed in ‘The Reliance of the Traveller’, the most authoritative book on sharia law currently available.

Here is one example of how it works from the KSA.

Ahram:

A Saudi preacher who raped his five-year-old daughter and tortured her to death has been sentenced to pay “blood money” to the mother after having served a short jail term, activists said on Saturday.

Lamia al-Ghamdi was admitted to hospital on December 25, 2011 with multiple injuries, including a crushed skull, broken ribs and left arm, extensive bruising and burns, the activists said. She died last October 22.

Fayhan al-Ghamdi, an Islamic preacher and regular guest on Muslim television networks, confessed to having used cables and a cane to inflict the injuries, the activists from the group “Women to Drive” said in a statement.

They said the father had doubted Lama’s virginity and had her checked up by a medic.

Randa al-Kaleeb, a social worker from the hospital where Lama was admitted, said the girl’s back was broken and that she had been raped “everywhere”, according to the group.

According to the victim’s mother, hospital staff told her that her “child’s rectum had been torn open and the abuser had attempted to burn it closed.”

The Acid Attack on Reyhan K.

Reyhan K., victim of acid attackLast week a young woman named Reyhan K. was subjected to a devastating acid attack at her residence in Germany. She and one of her attackers are of Turkish origin; the other suspect is Syrian.

Our Canadian correspondent Rembrandt Clancy sends a summary of press reports about the incident, including updates from Express.de dated 1 January 2013, and WAZ on 2 January 2013, along with video material. As background for the case, he sends a video by Sabatina James entitled “Women in Islam, Equal Rights or Oppressed?”

He includes this note:

Just a point: The modus operandi of this case has a striking similarity to that of the case of the model and TV presenter, Katie Piper, in 2009 in North London. Her ex-boyfriend, Daniel Lynch put Stefan Sylvester up to throwing the acid. Although this was a brown-on-white attack, I have not been able to discover the origins of the perpetrators.

All the translating and subtitling of this material was done by Rembrandt Clancy.

The Acid Attack on Reyhan K.
by Rembrandt Clancy

The Gates of Vienna news feed of 30 December 2012 made reference to an acid attack on a young Turkish woman in Germany.

The essentials of the press reports of the acid attack on Reyhan K. can be summarised as follows: Twenty-year-old Reyhan K., a Turkish immigrant woman who lives in Hilden near Düsseldorf in North Rhein-Westphalia, has landed in a special clinic in Duisburg with severe burns to her face and body. On Saturday morning, December 29, 2012, the doorbell rang at the residence of Reyhan’s grandparents. A man in disguise quickly sprayed the young woman twice in the face and body with a fluid which turned out to be sulphuric acid. He then fled the scene without having said a word.

A few hours after the attack, police arrested a former boyfriend, a 22-year-old Turkish man by the name of Serhat K. During interrogation the suspect admitted having incited a younger 18-year-old male accomplice to carry out the attack. The name and other background information of this individual does not appear to be available at this point, although the video included here identifies him as Syrian. On the day of the crime he turned himself in to Düsseldorf police in the company of his lawyer.

Here is the news report from Westdeutsche Rundfunk (WDR) of 30 December 2012:

Examination of many media sources failed to turn up any mention of Islam in connection with this crime, although all the principals appear to originate from the Islamic cultural sphere, and the circumstances of the event suggest a crime of the “honour” type.

Axe killer’s prison sentence reduced

From this Swiss News site

The Zurich cantonal high court has lowered the sentence against a pakistani who two years ago had killed his daughter with an axe: Instead of 17 years, he will now have to serve 13 1/2 years.

There are a dozen more related images at the link above

In an appeal lawsuit, the 54-year old pakistani who had killed his daughter at the family appartment with an axe, has been sentenced to 13 years and 6 months of prison by the Zurich cantonal high court. It lowered the sentence of the previous level of jurisdiction, for being a case of reduced criminal responsibility.

In april, the lower court had condemned the man for murder to 17 years in prison. Both the defence and the public prosecutor had appealed, the latter demanding 20 years for murder and attempted premedidated manslaughter, the former – considering the event to be a case of manslaughter only – demanding 4 1/2 years.

The public prosecutor considered the act to be a so-called honour killing. The father, loyal to his traditional customs, is to have seen the familiy’s honour threatened by his daughter’s behaviour. Moreover in a situation three weeks before the killing, her father had attempted to put her into the bath tub and kill her with a hair-dryer.

His lawyer depicted the image of a father who was totally overcharged, scolded by his rebellious daughter an ‘arsehole’. Moreover, she announced that she henceforth wished to work as a prostitute. This caused a severe emotion and major psychic stress in him, making him act in the heat of the moment.

Today, also the high court considered the act to be murder, the hair-dryer attack as not effected, just like the previous level of jurisdiction. The lowering of the sentence is due to a pschiatric opinion attesting the defendant a severe reduction of his criminal responsibility.

In may 2010, the pakistani had killed his oldest daughter in the family’s appartment in Z¸rich-Hˆngg, using at least 19 strokes with an axe. The 16-year old student had wanted to move out from at home, because she would no longer tolerate the recurring arguments. After the act, the man called police himself and did not resist his arrest.

In it’s verdict today, the high court denied an honour killing or cultural particularities. ‘Those having lived in Switzerland for 25 years can no longer invoke cultural particularities of their home country’, stated the court president.

He called the way the act was carried out as especially ruthless. According to the court president, the defendant had proceeded in a reprpehensible manner and with much callousness, pointing out that basically, the high court had envisaged a life-long sentence.

Jury convicts Toronto man who slashed throat, stabbed wife

Back in the day when Toronto was a Canadian city with Canadian values, a case like this would have been in the news for weeks and discussed endlessly by media with shock and horror.

Now most people won’t ever even know about it. Cause Muslims killing people, even when you fail to mention them as such, just doesn’t seem to be news.

A Toronto man who stabbed his wife and slashed her throat four years ago was found guilty of second-degree murder on Sunday.

Peer Khairi, 65, sobbed quietly with his head down when the verdict was read in court, days after the jury first began its deliberations last Thursday.

His wife, Randjida Khairi, died in March 2008. She was 53 years old.

Assistant Crown Attorney Robert Kenny said the jury heard four weeks of evidence during the trial, including three days of testimony from Khairi himself.

“We’re very happy with all the hard work that the jury went through and with the way the evidence came out,” he told reporters outside court on Sunday.

Peer Khairi is seen being questioned by a police officer in the aftermath of his wife's killing. Peer Khairi is seen being questioned by a police officer in the aftermath of his wife’s killing. (CBC)Kenny credited the investigative work that police did in bringing the case to court.

“They were the ones who actually got the accused to speak the night of the murder and actually got a lot of the details of what had happened…which is what allowed us to take circumstantial evidence and to be able to tell the jury our theory of what had happened,” he said.
