32-year-old Islam Said was sentenced to ten years in federal prison for helping his father, Yaser Said, evade capture since 2008, when Islam was only 19. Yaser Said was arrested in August, twelve years after “he is alleged to have shot and killed his two daughters, 18-year-old Amina and 17-year-old Sarah, in the back of his taxi in Irving, Texas, on New Year’s Day.”
Read the background in a Jihad Watch article from 2008 HERE. According to a relative of Yaser Said’s wife and the mother of the girls, Patricia Said, Patricia stated
…that since they are Muslim that the daughter was only allowed to date other Muslims. Yaser had found out she went on a date with a non-Muslim and became very angry and threatened her with bodily harm.
Robert Spencer continued:
That’s an honor killing, folks. It has everything to do with Islamic cultural attitudes. Discussion HERE. This is what American Muslim advocacy groups ought to be talking about, if they had an ounce of integrity, and any interest at all in promoting sane and humanistic values among Muslims and all people. Their constant finger-pointing, blame-shifting, and evasion of responsibility has a human cost: how many more honor killings are we going to see among Muslims in America before they own up to the reality of the practice and begin to teach against it? How many more is it going to take before government and law enforcement officials begin to pressure them to do so?
A high school friend of Amina’s stated:
“I remember her telling me that her dad told her he would take her back to Egypt and have her killed,” she said. “He said it’s OK to do that over there if you dishonor your family.”
It’s also “ok” in the minds of such Muslims to continue holding these views of honor murder in the West, as in the case of Yaser Said. The fact that his own son helped his father to evade justice shows that Islam Said cared nothing about his two murdered sisters. He saw them as enemies who “dishonoured” the family.
“Son Of FBI’s Most Wanted Suspect Who Allegedly Murdered Daughters In ‘Honor Killing’ Sentenced To Prison,” by Mario Safi, Daily Caller, April 28, 2021:
The son of one of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) Most Wanted suspects was sentenced to prison for hiding his father for over a decade, according to the Justice Department.
Islam Said, 32, was sentenced Tuesday to ten years in federal prison for helping his father, Yaser Said, evade capture since 2008, the U.S. Attorney’s Office of the Northern District of Texas said in the statement. Yaser Said was accused of killing his two daughters.
Yaser Said was arrested in August, 12 years after he is alleged to have shot and killed his two daughters, 18-year-old Amina and 17-year-old Sarah, in the back of his taxi in Irving, Texas, on New Year’s Day. The Egyptian-born capital murder suspect was placed on the FBI’s list in 2014. Yaser was a fugitive since the killings up until his arrest.
“Islam Said prioritized the whims of his father, an alleged killer, over justice for his own sisters. Thanks to the dogged work of the FBI and its law enforcement partners, however, Mr. Said’s efforts were ultimately in vain,” U.S. Attorney Prerak Shah reportedly said.
The slayings have been described as an “honor killing,” which is the killing of a member of the family, usually a woman, who is thought to have brought dishonor on the family. Yaser was reportedly angry that his daughters were dating non-Muslims, and was unwilling to raise “whores as daughters,” family members have said.
Islam pleaded guilty in January to one count of conspiracy to conceal a person from arrest, one count of concealing a person from arrest, and one count of conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, according to the Justice Department. ….

Honor killing is authorized and encouraged by passages in the Koran and hallowed by Islamic, canonical tradition. Thus, it is normative Islam, rather than an aberration.

Grimly true.
mortimer says
While most Muslims would not commit an honor killing, almost all Muslims know that they *MAY* commit an honor killing.
Because of Islam’s authentic, canonical teaching of honor killing, NO WESTERN WOMEN should ever take the risk of marrying a Muslim.
JCA Reid says
Why waste Taxpayer’s money on incarcerating this dude? Simple deportation to a Muslim country. We don’t want our countries being turned into “Islamic Paradises”. Thankyou.

JCA Reid–with all respect–I think that changing our laws for Muslims and letting them know that we will never imprison them no matter what they do would be a serious error.
But these thugs *should* be deported after they serve their sentences.

Or better yet, execution! Then this POS and others like him wouldn’t waste any more valuable space and oxygen on the planet. 😉

Texas: Muslim gets 10 years for hiding his father, a Most Wanted fugitive in honor killing of his two daughters
…………………
This is good–hope he is deported after serving his sentence.
So often hideous Islamic “Honor Killings” are a family affair.
Spiro says
That’s what I was going to post
10 years every day then
Sent one way to somalia
Along with his family

These Mohammedans are from Egypt.
BlackSabbath says
Moselm fathers are known to rape their own daughters and kill them to cover it up. Even brothers rape their sisters. This angle can not be ignored in this case.

Grimly common.
John says
Mother named Patricia. Father killer I believe Jordanian. Children may have been born here from mommy Patricia.
Another example vetting Muslim immigrants a joke, plus they breed and multiply. In this case kill the girls who won’t follow Islamic Sharia law. Sons and uncle ignore US law.
Most Muslims don’t come west for freedom. They come for free stuff and future conquest. Ones who come west to escape Islam get killed for leaving.

Yaser Said is Egyptian. And you are quite right that few Muslims come to the west for freedom.
Crusades Were Right says
[angry that his daughters were dating non-Muslims]
Imagine someone taking his family and moving to another country, with the intention of living there for the rest of their lives, while having so much CONTEMPT for the local inhabitants of the new country that he would rather murder his family members than tolerate them forming close relationships with the locals.
Well, thanks to “diversity”, “multiculturalism” and mass migration, we don’t need to imagine…
…we just need to watch the news!
Ren says
Hiding a murderer from justice is being complicit of that murder.
OLD GUY says
Yes Joe Biden these are the wonderful muslim/islamic migrants YOU want for neighbors. Oh wait I forgot you want them for my neighborhood not yours. Open borders is an invitation to criminals and the enemies of our country.
Mary C says
Only 10 years…what a freaking joke!!!

I hope the murderer Yasir Said gets a considerably stiffer sentence–life or preferably the death penalty.
