Honor Killing in America
American Thinker ^ | 02-01-2011 | Pam Geller

Posted on 02/01/2011 5:02:30 AM PST by STONEWALLS

The trials of two "honor killers" are underway in America this week: one in Buffalo, New York, and the other in Arizona.

In Buffalo, the moderate Muslim beheader and bridge-builder to the West, Muzzammil Hassan, was granted the right Monday to act as his own attorney. That should make for some interesting trial transcripts. Hassan had an attorney, Jeremy Schwartz, but Schwartz told the judge that he met with Hassan on Friday and they had an impasse and "irreconcilable differences and opinions" that go to the heart of the defense.

Muzzammil Hassan was a respected Muslim businessman in Buffalo. He founded the BridgesTV network several years ago to improve the image of Muslims in the United States. But now he is standing trial for the decapitation of his estranged wife, Aasiya Zubair Hassan, in February 2009. He beheaded her at his company's office in Orchard Park, New York -- that's right, in the offices of BridgesTV. Police records show that Muzzammil Hassan had abused Aasiya for years. And that means that the Buffalo-area Muslim community writ large ought to be on trial as well; they knew of the brutal violence Aasiya suffered and apparently kept silent. The Muslim community knew of Hassan's abuse.

...our local McClatchey owned newspaper looks the other way on stories like this...when they ever do mention it, their perspective is always 'Muslims fear backlash'....they always portray the Muslim community as victims....never complicit in horrific acts.

So what's the latest ‘line’ on the judges allowing these critters to introduce elements of sharia law in to their defenses?

Do not allow your local papers to get away with calling these murders honor killings. Do not allow them to play into this evil cults terminology

The oppression and torture of women is okay for islamist so of course no one said anything. This evil cult is not compatible with living in a free Nation like America

What is it going to take to make Americans and Europeans realize that Islam and the rest of the world are incompatible and one or the other has to go away?

As long as the phrase 'honor killing' is put in quotation marks every time it is used in a news story, I do not have a problem with the press using the term when reporting on thse cases.

That is the terminology used by animals who perpetrate these crimes, and I think using the same words, but enclosing them in quotation marks, helps point out the evil absurdity of those who actually think there is honor in what they do.

IMO the term “honor killing,” when enclosed in quotes, is so laden with ridicule and sarcasm that is appropriate.

What is it going to take? You are kidding. It’ll take a sickening number of DEAD Americans and Europeans, before the PC crowd wakes up, if they are alive to wake up.
An NFL star abused a number of dogs and the USA went out of its “compassionate” mind. A man “honor kills” his wife by beheading her and.....CRICKETS CHIRP.
