My latest in PJ Media:
Amid all the discussion about the resettlement of Afghan refugees in the United States, few are focusing on the question of the compatibility of their societal mores with American culture. At this late date, we all know that such inquiries are “Islamophobic.” However, a recent incident in Arizona suggests some of the difficulties that could arise among the new arrivals. Fox 10 Phoenix reported Saturday that “police arrested six members of a Phoenix-area family they say targeted a 20-year-old relative and tried to kidnap her because they disapprove of her boyfriend, who doesn’t share their Muslim faith.” This family is Iraqi, but the Afghan refugees share the same religion, and many have the same ideas about women, marriage, and the permissibility of honor killing.
Fox reported that “the woman, who is 20 weeks pregnant, told police she was afraid her relatives will kill her because they believe she has brought dishonor to the family.” Arizona police “believe the family wanted to send the victim back to Iraq,” where she would face almost certain death. Court records “describe accusations of threats and assaults, most recently at a medical building in Avondale last week. Police said the relatives took the woman’s cell phone and purse, along with her boyfriend’s gun, during a ‘violent assault.’ The woman grabbed onto a responding officer, pleading ‘please, don’t let them take me.’”
This woman’s father, mother, three brothers and her sister, who are all “described as traditional Muslims,” were arrested. The entire family has “a history of harassment against the victim because of her relationship with a boyfriend, who is described as being of another religious faith.” Islamic law forbids Muslim women to marry non-Muslim men, although Muslim men may marry Jewish or Christian women; the idea is that the Islamic community is always growing at the expense of non-Muslim communities. For appearing to be on the path toward breaking this rule, the woman says that her family members tried to kill both her and her boyfriend.
The woman and her boyfriend moved away from the Phoenix area, but then the threatening phone calls began. One brother left this message: “This is Ali, her brother. If you don’t bring my sister back, I’m going to kidnap your sister. I’m not scared of your American laws.” Ali was relentless, declaring that “he would still find the victim even of he was in prison, and the victim was 80 years old.” It is not surprising in light of all this that the woman told police that she was afraid she was going to be killed because she had “dishonored the family.”
There is more. Read the rest here.

Arizona: Muslim Family Tries to Kidnap Woman With Non-Muslim Boyfriend for Honor Killing
……………
Yes–a terrible story. Just glad that the woman and her boyfriend have escaped being murdered. I hope these Muslim thugs are deported after serving their jail terms.
JANET says
i am with you on that. Nothing has changed or will change with SHARIAH. I have been an ISLAMOPHOBE from the time Robert defined it. Nothing is more logical than that. Only TEXAS WILL EXECUTE these evil invaders -CA is cowardly and wrong in so many things and has all the markings of doing NOTHING to stop them from killing kafir.
Islam can never be trusted if you are human–Kafir or not. They have bred themselves into the most vile and evil belief system on earth and nothing but extinction will rid us of them.

Shame that it has come to what you say, but any Muslim in America appears to be a time bomb who could get the evil spirit of his allah god and start killing us unbelievers. You never know which one could get the “rabies” of Islam. With a mindset like these people have, to kill their family member, in keeping with Muhammad’s statement “He who leaves his religion, kill him (or her)”, there should be no place for Islam’s minions here in the US or in the world. I am convinced after all my studies of Islam since 9/11/2001, that the allah god is Satan. Winston Churchill said, “Islam in a man is as bad as rabies in a dog”. I disagree, much WORSE. If a rabid dog bites you, there are medical remedies to combat that. If an Islamic Jihad comes at you with a knife or gun, you have to kill or be killed, no second chance, and because you do not know which Muslim will decide to do Jihad, you have to be wary of any Muslim in your vicinity.

Just another example of Brown Supremacists exercising their Allah
given right to maim and kill those they deem inferior. White Supremacists
should be punished for this terrible
incident.

The funny thing is that Mo was really white to the point I think Mr. Spencer wrote about the sura or Hadiths that documented Mo’s super pallid skin. Funny that proggie marxists BLM types never associate Mo as racist slavedriving bigot.

Since this is the second jihadwatch article on that scheming Muslim family with their murderous intention of committing an “honor killing ” it’s likewise fitting to reiterate another posting about this awful subject.
So here it is..
Regarding the Islamic practice that is very inappropriately called” “honor killing. There is actual no honor, at all, in that callous, cold-blooded, vicious, malicious murderous action.
In addition, the scholar of Islam, Brigitte Gabriel in her book entitled THEY MUST BE STOPPED on pages 171,172 she reveals that “Control of behavior and disregard for human life are key elements in in Islamic ideology.”
She further exposes that “The shocking reality is that most Muslim men, including those educated in the West, have no objection to honor killings and the degradation of women in their countries. Across the Muslim world, even in moderate Islamic countries, women’s rights are almost nonexistent … Women in Islam are considered unclean, deemed inferior even to dirt.”
Indeed, they must be stopped !
Patz Koenig says
Honor-killings should really be called “Ego-Murders.”
Check Burry says
Yes but very small ego,s, if they need to do this to boost how they feel.
Infidel says
Which country were the Alfartousis originally from?
Check Burry says
Shitholistan probably, and trying to turn the rest of the world into the same.

Iraq

John, you are right.
Michael Copeland says
Also from Iraq was Shaima Alawadi, bludgeoned to death with a tire iron because she wanted a divorce. Her killer husband faked a hate crime incident with a hostile note. That was in California.
What are muslims instructed about US law?
“If we are practicing muslims”, said Mustafa Carroll of CAIR Texas, “we are above the law of the land.”

Yes–the murderer pretended that the killer was an “Islamophobe” who hated the victim wearing Hijab. By the way, the victim had also been a child bride, brought into the US as a “niece” of her pedophile husband.
Eleanor says
Expect more of this type of barbarous behaviour in the coming years USA, UK, Australia, Canada, NZ.
Giacomo Latta says
Are these some of the ”helpful” Iraqis who served as interpreters? A lot more will soon be on their way from Afghanistan.
James Sang says
We have to add a law or follow our current immigration laws that should say that any immigrants who cause a felony shall be deported and not be able to reapply for any kind of stay in the United States! This law should be strictly followed!!
Walter Sieruk says
There is nothing in actual honor about such a malice- filled in such a despicable horrendous vicious murderous action of evil.
This wicked Islamic sanctioned deadly affront of “honor killing” is often done for the most absurd “reasons.”
As for example, refusing to wear an Islamic veil or not going along with a prearranged marriage.
This is so completely evil that concerning the vile crime of rape, the victim who was raped has been put to death and not the man who raped her. That is worse than terrible miscarriage of justice. It’s a totally bizarre, unfair Islamic practice of evil that’s an outrageous affront to all that is good decent and right.
To such an irrational and wickedness and madness of punishing the victim of a crime and not the criminal, the Bible teaches “The Lord hates those two things: punishing the innocent and letting the guilty go free.” Proverbs 17:15. [E.R.V.]
