Slain Lewisville sisters mourned at Christian, Muslim services

Best estimates are that there are about 5 million Muslims living in this country, two-thirds of them foreign born, and they are all entitled to bring in all of their relatives. They make up 15-20 percent of the prison population. You do the math.

Islam Said has previously disputed widespread rumors and media reports that his Muslim father's religion may have been the reason for the killings. Some have speculated that the deaths may have been "honor killings," a practice in which a man kills a female relative who he believes has somehow shamed the family.

The son defends the faith that brought two honor killings to his family. Sad that losing both sisters didn't shock him into rejecting the obvious (not at all speculative - these were honor killings!). Scary too, imagine his indoctrination at the hands of his father.

Brought to you by the people who revel in and praise DIVERSITY. They are responsible for the killings.

Tolerance is only for those who agree with their agenda.

The mother isn’t an Arab, but an American Christian named Patricia, and she fled WITH the girls. Lured by Said’s promises to move out of the house and reconcile, they came back.

She will blame herself forever. Why are American women foolish enough to take up with Muslims?

Sometimes my daughter asks, what if she married someone from another culture, and she’s always a little surprised that I say, any culture you like, as long as he’s a Christian who means it. Don’t even date someone of another faith, because if you fall in love, there’s trouble for you. Somehow she expects me to be more broad-minded.

You might try showing her this story!

I lived a few miles north of Lewisville, Texas for 13 years. Saw this news report a few days ago. Hope this fella gets the death penalty.

[Terriergal]

I hope someone finds him and.... (stifling some words) brings him to justice.

She obviously never watched, "Not Without My Daughter."

[dfwgator]

I take comfort in knowing that this crime was committed in Texas

Two words, "Andrea Yates."

[MinuteGal]

Notice what the imams said at the service:

"All living things are destined to die." (and we Muslims are destined to help them fulfill their destinies a little sooner and a little more violently).

"Families are the most important thing in Islam." (don't forget, the Muslim families that pray together slay together).

"Parents need to work to keep their families strong." (Muslim peace through strength).

Well, what does one expect at a service where the women must stay 20 feet behind the men to view the bodies (graphic illustrations of their own futures and those of their daughters.

Robert Crisp, a Catholic priest, led a Baptist service, which was followed by a service at a Richardson mosque

DO WHAT?

[Terriergal]

Weird huh?

[hellsdarkangel]

Well to say the least this is all a test of our faith and compassion toward mankind as a whole. You can not criticize him for his wrong doing if there are others that turn their head on these crimes to make an extra dollar! Its just as much the fathers fault for committing the crimes as its the officers for not responding in a timely matter to the telephone call asking questions that could have been put on hold in order to reach them faster,its the governments fault to they give the people living here the third degree but they don't bother to get just a little more info on the people they let into the U.S.And to continue to let these honor killings happen, this is the consequence we all suffer because not enough of us care about our neighbor! This is not the first time this has happened and it won't be the last if none of us stand and voice our concerns. Don't get me wrong he deserves to be put to death for the crime he committed! If your family,friends,police,or the government can't or won't protect you then who will?

[fella]

The murderer/father is being hidden in the islamic community of D/FW.

I’m puzzled that the mother took care to get out herself but left behind the two daughters he threatened to kill ??
