Texas: Muslima kidnapped woman because her “lifestyle brought shame to the Muslim community”

Feb 19, 2017 12:44 pm By Robert Spencer

Normal Juarez Taha apparently was the linchpin of a plot to return this woman to Libya, where should would almost certainly have been the victim of an honor killing.

“Woman accused of kidnapping over shame to Muslims,” by Aaron Martinez, El Paso Times, February 17, 2017:

A woman was arrested after she was accused of kidnapping a woman because her “lifestyle brought shame to the Muslim community and she should return to Libya,” according to court documents.

Normal Juarez Taha, who is described as a “Mexican-Muslim” in court documents, was arrested at about 9:25 p.m. Tuesday by 12 FBI El Paso Division agents without incident at her home in the 200 block of Thunderbird Drive in West El Paso. She is accused of kidnapping the woman, referred to only as AFA in court documents, from the woman’s home earlier in the week.

Taha, 35, is facing one count of kidnapping, which holds a maximum sentence of life in prison. She made her initial appearance in federal court Thursday before U.S. Magistrate Judge Miguel A. Torres….

Taha allegedly kidnapped the woman, whose age has not been released, at about 3 a.m. Monday from her bedroom.

The woman told investigators she knew Taha as “Sister Norma” because she was a family friend.

Taha allegedly entered the woman’s bedroom while she was sleeping and attempted to put tape on her mouth, a criminal complaint states. The woman yelled, but no one in the home heard her.

She was told by Taha to be quiet and that she needed to go with her because she and her family were in danger, the complaint states. Taha told her that she was trying to help her and that she eventually would be reunited with her family.

Taha said that the danger facing the woman and her family was that they were going to be deported and that the woman’s brother would not get the medical assistance he needs, the complaint states.

Taha then walked the woman, who was not wearing shoes, out of the house through the front door and put her in the rear cargo area of a Toyota van, the complaint alleges.

At some point, she was moved to the front of the van and was told to hide underneath the glove compartment area. She was then blindfolded and taken to an area on Montana Avenue in far East El Paso.

The woman told investigators that she was scared for her life because Taha was carrying a black-and-red pistol and that she feared that if she attempted to run away, Taha would shoot her, the complaint states….

Taha later allegedly admitted that she had gone to the woman’s home and made up the story that she and her family were in danger to trick her into coming with her, the complaint states.

She added that the woman’s “lifestyle brought embarrassment to her family and she should be taken to Mexico or Libya.”

Taha allegedly said she did not receive any money for kidnapping her, the complaint states.

She also admitted to mixing muscle relaxant pills and water together in a syringe and injecting the mixture into the victim’s leg to keep her calm, the complaint says….

    The kidnapper’s name is NORMAL. I (not being a psychiatrist or psychologist) however, think that she is anything but.

    Also, is the kidnapper one of the many illegals in Texas?

    As to the victim-my guess is she is a teen. And probably went out with or spoke to a non Muslim boy.

    Hence, ‘ the shame”

    deport Normal– and her family-if she has any

      As she’s being charged with kidnapping–a federal crime–shouldn’t she fist do time if convicted?

    I am so angry, kidnapping with a fake story, because she put shame on Muslims?. It is getting worse and worse. Here there are young boys who are yelling, he whores if you don’t dress properly and become moslims, we will kill you tomorrow and cry Jew with you, boys o 10,11,12 years old. And in the USA, how is it possible that a higher Court can overrule the President of the USA, and I would think the security of the country is at stake. No matter if you like Trump or not, he is the only one who tries to do something, and after all sharp letters to my government, I get a phonemail back that I am still “POLITICAL INCORRECT”. Wilders was already 2 times in court and convicted, because he said something, I don’t believe this whole thing and I don’t believe the Nordic countries anymore with all of their sudden antisemitic Newspapers. What can and shall we do? Any suggestions?

    There should be other charges besides the kidnapping. There is the holding against the will, the use of a deadly weapon, and the injecting of drugs. Separate sentences should keep her in prison even if doesn’t get life for the kidnapping charge. And when a weapon is used in a felony, it makes it a worse offense.

    Is the woman in the photo the kidnapper? Such a smug look on her face.

    What were the *crimes of shame*…the way the girl was dressed? No scarf? Or was this moslim afraid her own husband would wish that he could have a second wife?

    These devil worshippers are so evil and will do anything to further the cause of satan’s beast.

    This scum and her assistants should have their citizenship revoked (assuming they bothered with that), serve as much of a life sentence as the bleeding-heart legal system allows, the get deported back to their shariah paradise-on-earth. Don’t they have deportation laws anymore?

    Downright creepy.
    I’m glad the woman got away.

    Even if there weren’t the threats of jihad and of terrorism, the drain these Mohammedens are on our legal and law enforcement systems are overwhelming.

    What a backwards freaked out, fucked in the head way to think. I feel sorry for “radicals”; they are a waste of a human life.

    Now, what will happen next is that “Trump’s Muslim Ban” will be to blame. See, we shouldn’t be so phobic – it’s our fault this happened.

    I doubt the kidnap victim brought any shame to the Muslim community when viewed through patriotic American eyes.

    Islam has its own seditionist rules that dictate against any improvised or progressive thinking. Islam did not participate in the enlightenment or the industrial revolution because it controlled the minds of its followers from their birth. Even, today, the real shame of Islam, ISIS, drives about in trucks, communicates by cell phone and radio, makes propaganda videos with cameras and computers, and fights with guns – none of which was developed under Islam. In nature, that which consumes and does not contribute is designated as a parasite.

    To the modern thinking mind, Islam is a shame, like slavery, that stains human progress.

    Shame and blame is the Muslim game. They need a healthy dose of mind your own business and a booster of live and let live. A little Golden Rule wouldn’t hurt either.

    The most aggressive and controlling “religion” in the world.

    Can’t find this story anywhere on CNN, Huff Post, etc….very interesting. I think it warrants national exposure.

    • StacyGirl says

      Feb 19, 2017 at 3:06 pm

      Susette, I’ve thought many times that the media reporting just one piece from Jihad Watch a day would turn this country around quickly. Story after story – the assault of a child in Idaho, the honor killing in Buffalo NY by a tv station owner, the honor killings of Amina and Sarah Said in Texas, a migrant raping a female bus passenger in MN–you try to discuss these with coworkers and they think it’s internet bunk. The media is in lock step to suppress the truth.

      • Kay says

        Feb 19, 2017 at 3:25 pm

        That’s what I see too and I don’t understand it. I tried once to make a story public. All it got me was alienated from people.

          Don’t stop trying to share information with friends and family! It’s imperative that we do that! Share ALL stories MSM REFUSES to even acknowledge….regardless of people’s reactions! Some people, you may never be able to reach with the truth. Others you will! Then the chain expands and more and more can spread the word!

          I believe there is an awakening going on in the USA. Of course, MSM doesn’t WANT that but it’s happening nevertheless. So…don’t let anyone STOP you from doing what is right. It’s too important to NOT try.

    The more Islam is allowed to grow and prosper the more this or like events will occur, get Islam out of our nation, It is theocracy not a religion, get that into your heads people, Islam’s whole sense of purpose is to conquer, nothing else matters.

    • davej says

      Feb 19, 2017 at 11:01 pm

      “Nothing else matters”. Normal people have a list of interests and competing priorities but Muslims only have one – conquering the world for Allah. This makes them single minded, ruthless, joyless and very annoying to the rest of us.

    Normal Juarez Taha, who is described as a “Mexican-Muslim” in court documents

    Good – she can be kicked back to Mexico and stay there.

    She made her initial appearance in federal court Thursday before U.S. Magistrate Judge Miguel A. Torres

    Well, s***…

  14. Vic says

    This is a convoluted story. I went back to read the original story to better understand what they were talking about. No other Muslims are mentioned, just that she was a friend of the family. Do you realize there were over 7 people, 40 FBI agents plus several Border Patrol involved in the case? They just talk about the Taha lady being charged. What about the other people? What is going on? She was taking the woman? Girl? To Mexico or Libya?
    The reason I was intrigued is that in 2016 the FBI arrested a trafficking ring that was kidnapping young women in El Paso. They were taking them to Mexico and then shipping them to other countries. Just wondering if there was a connection.

    PRCS–I saw that link you sent. The Muslim community in El Paso is feeling scared after Pres. Trump’s ban, but they feel the love of the community. Those Muslims came to the States in 1993 and these are their children speaking. They are citizens now so why would they be afraid of being sent back? Who is making them fearful? Perhaps CAIR? There are many errors in the article… Mostly referencing all the Islamophobic fake news and threats reported by CAIR. Over 1000!!
    Mr. Spencer, we all know how busy you are, but maybe you can look at this link and straighten out the reporter.

    Mexican muslims ? I think I’d rather have the return of the Aztecs.

    • Catholic in TX says

      Feb 23, 2017 at 8:56 am

      That would be kind of a toss-up between beheading / stoning vs. people having their beating hearts ripped out of their chests. Well, at least the Aztecs had enough sense to listen to Our Lady of Guadalupe and convert to Catholicism. Maybe you’re right.

    More “LIFESTYLE” jihad.

    Muslims will increasingly conduct LIFESTYLE jihad against Westerners to terrorize them into submitting to Sharia law.
