A manhunt in Texas continued Friday for a father accused of shooting his teen daughters and leaving them to die in a taxi.
Yaser Abdel Said, 50, of Lewisville, Texas, is wanted for shooting Sarah Yaser Said, 17, and Amina Yaser Said, 18, in his taxi Tuesday night. Police say they don't have a motive for the shootings, but believe a domestic issue may have led to the deaths.
Friends gathered Thursday night for a vigil to remember the sisters. The girls' mother, who has been in hiding since the shootings, attended.
The victims' brother made a statement at the vigil that the deaths have nothing to do with religion.
David Tull, a spokesman for the Irving Police Department, told FOX News that there's not a specific motive but police are aware of domestic issues within the family.
Tull wouldn't comment directly on shootings being tied to reports about the girls wearing Western clothes and disobeying their father's wishes.

maybe we need to keep Moslem men out of the country
Granted I don't have all of the facts but it sure looks like an honor killing. Find this animal, try him, and execute him. We ain't putting up with this shi-ite here in the USA.
Hope CAIR gets busted hiding him out. Then we can add aiding/abetting to their charges.
Wanna bet the brother is somehow involved in this, aswell?
riiight.....
She also said he was probably taking refuge in a mosque. Or being hidden by an imam.
on mike medved yesterday, the women that worked as a cab driver withh the father and she found the girls in the car after he shot them said - he kept telling everyone he was a moderate moslem but the daughters asked if they could start dating so he put them in the car, shot them and drove them to a hotel cab waiting line and left them.
She said he might have left to the airport and is now in egypt.

Thanks to Robert, Hugh and the terrific posters at jihadwatch.
Call it what it is: an honor killing.
Like father, like son.
What’s the big deal? Democrats love this sort of behaviour, besides, if they kill enough of themselves off, we won’t have to worry about them any more.
About a year ago, we had an incident that involved three hispanics. One was in a car being pursued by the other two in a second car. The two were shooting at the first one. The story went from two hispanics shoot third hispanic during high speed chase through Twin Cities to.......Man shot by two other men after car chase........
That was my thought too. Wasn't this close to the airport?
>>>The victims’ brother made a statement at the vigil that the deaths have nothing to do with religion.<<<
This bizarre statement summarizes Islam more than any other comment in the story. Consider this: let’s say you believe in a religion in which all questions are answered and all knowledge revealed. However, contained in that knowledge there are contradictory statements - just look at the Koran with even a glance and you’ll see it. Your choice is to either give up the religion - whoops, can’t do that, since it’s a death sentence - or you somehow mentally accomodate the contradictions as both being revealed truth.
So there you are. You can state with clarity that honor killings have nothing to do with religion when all around you honor killings occur on the basis of your religion. Islam is the religious equivalent of willing suspension of disbelief.
All I can say is thank God for the blessings conferred on me and my family for having a Jewish-Catholic heritage and a birth in the United States. Walking around with the schizoid worldview of Islam would be a lot like living in an institution.
