“They see no shame” in Syria: Muslim who murdered his sister in honor killing is “untouchable”

Nov 13, 2018 3:12 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Footage of a young Syrian woman’s execution by her brother was greeted with widespread horror. Yet such violence is all too common – and as a member of the Free Syrian Army, with its own police and courts, the man is untouchable.

This kind of honor murder is “all too common” and its perpetrator is “untouchable,” yet criticizing Islam and Muhammad in the West is deemed “offensive.”

This took place in Syria, but no one leaves his or her culture at the door when immigrating. Immigrants bring their cultural practices with them. Those who insist upon open borders are choosing the path of willful blindness to the detriment of all free societies.

These are people who see no shame in killing the girl, but actually believe it’s what washes away the shame she has brought on the whole family,” says exiled Syrian writer Loubna Mrie. “An innocent girl is dead because some guy posted her pictures on Facebook.

According to the World Health Organization:

There are an estimated 5000 murders in the name of ‘honour’ each year worldwide, although this is believed to be an underestimate (16). These killings occur mainly in parts of the Middle East and South Asia, but also among some migrant communities – for example, in Australia, Europe and North America. Studies have reported ‘honour’ killings being committed by use of firearms, axes and edged tools; through strangulation and stabbing; and by burning, forcing a woman to take poison or throwing her from a window.

“‘They see no shame’: ‘honour’ killing video shows plight of Syrian women,” by Shawn Carrie and Asmaa Alomar, Guardian, November 12, 2018:

Footage of a young Syrian woman’s execution by her brother was greeted with widespread horror. Yet such violence is all too common – and as a member of the Free Syrian Army, with its own police and courts, the man is untouchable.

Kalashnikov in hand, the man looks into the camera. He stands over a terrified girl, who is pleading for her life.

“Make sure we can see both your faces,” a voice orders.

Behind the shaky camera, another one goads the gunman: “Go ahead, Bashar – cleanse your honour.”

Without another word, a flurry of bullets is fired into Rasha Bseis’s body. It takes nine agonising seconds for her to die.

Rasha had been murdered on camera by her brother, Bashar Bseis, condemned by rumours that she had committed adultery, for which the punishment – in her brother’s eyes – was death.

Even in a war as long and bloody as Syria’s, the execution, shared thousands of times on social media, shocked the Syrian community. The events unfolded after a scorned suitor had posted images of Rasha online. She was dragged from her home in a camp just 2km from Turkey’s border and shot by a soldier it trained and equipped – a fighter enlisted in the Turkish-backed Free Syrian Army.

“What [Bseis] did was not an ethic of the Free Syrian Army and is contrary to the principles of our revolution,” Mustafa Sejari, a spokesman for the FSA, told the Guardian, adding that an investigation was under way and that a military court in Jarabulus had issued a warrant for Bseis.

Weeks later, however, an arrest has yet to be made, and there are fears that, as an FSA fighter, Bseis will never be held to account.

“These are people who see no shame in killing the girl, but actually believe it’s what washes away the shame she has brought on the whole family,” says exiled Syrian writer Loubna Mrie. “An innocent girl is dead because some guy posted her pictures on Facebook.”…

    the Creator sees everything, he will be held to account by the higher source, the Bible says a life for a life, this person is ruled by the demons

      No, bf, they are governed by DISCRIMINATORY SHARIA LAW. Their consciences are clean because Sharia reinforces and affirms their misogyny.

      There is no punishment in Sharia law for a parent who kills his own children or grandchildren.

      Sure, but Does Jesus want us to facilitate evil and evil-doers via facilitating immigration of people who wish us harm?

    The perpetrator of this brutal honor killing is a member of the “Free Syrian Army”. Like the “White Helmets”, FSA is an is islamic jihadist group lionized, funded, armed and supported by the US and other Western governments. It has just been reported that a recent USAID audit found its “humanitarian” programs for Syria and Iraq gave $700 million dollars to terrorist groups in Syria and Iraq! More of this on the link below:

      Like they did in Afghanistan, Libya, Yemen, Kosovo and Bosnia, US and Western regimes support, arm and train islamic jihadists that are fighting to overthrow the secular, multi-religious government of Syria where millions of Christians and other religious minorities are protected and replace it with their Al-Qaeda jihadist buddies!
      Western regimes like the US, France, UK and others are indeed evil entities that support ISIS, Al-Qaeda and Saudi Arabian savage regime!

      Of course, christianblood’s pretending that only members of the “Free Syrian Army” practice “Honor Killings” in Syria is quite false.

      In fact, there are an estimated 200 “Honor Killings” every year in Syria.

      And christianbllood himself has said that there is no such thing as marital rape, and that husbands have the right to rape their wives with impunity. He is very much in agreement with Islam here.

    “They see no shame” in Syria: Muslim who murdered his sister in honor killing is “untouchable”
    ………………….

    Sickening but not surprising. Just glad to see that some ordinary Syrians are protesting this.

    I only pay slight attention to these types of stories. They happen every day and are a reminder of why muslims are incompatible with a civilized society. Every muslim country has this and I don’t care as long as it’s kept over there. It is part of their religion and nothing will changed unless they lose their religion.

    David Silvan, you don’t care as long as Islam stays in their own country, BUT THEY DON’T They are all over the place in the world, dictating the world and we have let it happen !. At a certain moment we will have to push back, because whatever you do or don’t, it will become ugli.
    And muslims will NOT LOSE THEIR RELIGION. They will keep hanging onto a prophet who was a warlord.
    and that is what they like. They have never managed a civilised country for themselves, so they do what they always do, look out for nice countries that they conquer and take them over, but your democrats never wanted to believe it and wanted to be the “nice forgiving guys in the world” who were so welcoming and sweet. They are very good in planning and waiting like snakes behind and in the rocks, and they succeeded again, thanks to al the democrats/globalists, leftists, feminists. But the worst thing is, you pulled us with you.
    JW exists already from 2003 on and Mr Spencer and others warned you already for all those years, but it will get ugly and you will see who you welcomed with a warm heart into your country, the famous story from Walter Sieruk about the scorpion and the frog.

    And that is what happened all over the world with the common people, here in Europe too and still !!!
    WE HAD SOME NICE SUMMERS FOR THE PAST YEARS, SITTING DRINKING COFFEE AND WINE ON A NICE SUMMERDAY TOGETHER, and you very careful brought this danger and people would say: what are you talking about, why are you always so negative? We are sitting here nicely enjoying this summer day, muslims are far away, are you crazy, they would never do that.”
    But they did, people, they are at your front door and back porch.And this is the thing I can not understand, if somebody tells me, we have to watch out for something, I will research it, it can be crazy or not, but I want to know and muslims knew that the western people are that way and they waited, bit by bit and now what…… They wait and plan and plan and we sit on terraces and say, don’t be so negative, this is a far of my bed show, it isn’t. In this day and age everything is almost next door, today it is here, tomorrow there
    I hope that Trump wins the next election in the house and senate, he is your only hope probably with measurements, that you don’t like and you will have judges all over you, but things have to happen and all your soft presidents who embraced the “RELIGION OF PEACE’ at costs of all citizens will see, what religion of peace is.
    Pls watch (get it on Google):

    “MOSAB HASSA YOUSEF STUNS THE HUMAN RIGHTS COUNCIL DEBATE, SEPT 29, 2017.”
    “MOSAB TELLS AT UN THE SHOCKING TRUTH ABOUT ISLAM”

    ROBERT SPENCER DID ALREADY A SPLENDID JOB ABOUT ISLAM,but this MosabHY is the son of one of the founders and leaders of Hamas, and was a fighter for Hamas, was captured by the Israelis
    and got a 27month prison punishment. In jail he learned that Israelis were not at all the people he was taught to hate so much and he learned about Judaism, Christianity, started to meditate, converted to Christianity and really knows who muslims are, but he is asking from people not to hate the muslims, but Islam. But he talks sense and is not afraid of any politician and never political correct and he warns us for muslims, he knows the way they work and what they are able of. His father took away his inheritance immediately and he must have gone through a lot of difficulties from his family, because he was the son of a big boss of Hamas .
    I never stick my hand in the fire for any muslim, not for this man either, but he makes some sense, but interesting and he thinks too, that we are to late, as we did nothing, only to please the dictators. There are more video’s of him and I would really be curious what Mr. Spencer thinks of him and you commentors.
