Religion of Peace ‘Honor Killings’ Now in Your Neighborhood
The concept of ‘honor killings’ is something we typically associate with Iran, Saudi Arabia and other muslim countries. Lately, though, it’s grown in frequency in the UK and Canada, and now in the US. This is from Lewisville, TX.
Sisters, Amina, 18, and Sarah, 17, were each shot to death. Friends of the girls say their father was Egyptian and critical of popular American lifestyles. “He was really strict about guy relationships and talking to guys, as well as the things she wears,” said Kathleen Wong, a friend of the dead teenagers. “I’m definitely 100% sure that it was her dad that killed her.”
The family’s neighbor, however, seemed to be more taken back by the news. “My truck was in the shop, and I got him to take me down and get it out of the shop. He seemed like a pretty nice guy. His son would come by all the time and borrow tools from me,” said Ross Chancellor.
Wong says the girl’s father was verbally abusive and that Sarah, especially, lived in fear. “She’s always told me that she was always so scared of her dad,” says Wong. “Even at school if a teacher joked around like, ‘I’m gonna tell your parents about this’, she would like totally flip out and start crying like, ‘please don’t tell’.”
While Irving police won’t speculate on motive they agree the family had domestic issues. “We do consider this man armed and dangerous; he does have a capital murder warrant out for him,” said David Tull, Irving Police Department.
Domestic issues? Let’s call a spade a spade. These girls were killed because fundamentalist islam doesn’t mix well with western culture.
