The mainstream media has reported this as the "Santa killer." No mention that it was an Islamic honor killing until this Dallas Morning News story. Our daughters and granddaughters are going to be the ones who will suffer because of for this obfuscation and excusal of barbarism.
This has been going on for years. When Amina and Sarah Said were brutally murdered by their father, also in Texas, on New Year’s Day 2008 for the same reason -- having non-Muslim boyfriends -- I thought, this is it. This is going to break the dam wide open. America would not, could not possibly, ignore this horror caused by and sanctioned by Islamic beliefs, assumptions, and attitudes.
And yet America continues to ignore this horror. And more and more people are victimized every day.
Aziz Yazdanpanah, a Muslim, didn't like his daughter's non-Muslim boyfriend and was exhibiting stalker behavior. “She couldn’t date at all until she was a certain age, but when he was going to let her date she couldn’t date anyone outside of their race or religion.”
Again and again we have seen honor killings in which fathers kill daughters who are dating non-Muslims or have supposedly besmirched the family honor by some sexual indiscretion. Lt. Todd Dearing says that motive isn't important -- which is generally only the case when Islam is involved.
"Neighbors horrified at news of family’s slayings in Grapevine," by Gloria Salinas and Scott Goldstein for the Dallas Morning News, December 26 (snip)
a more ominous portrait emerged of Yazdanpanah in interviews with some of his daughter’s other classmates.
“She would come to school crying and telling us her dad was crazy,” said Lacie Reed, 18. “He wouldn’t let her wear certain things. He was always taking her phone away, checking her call history and checking her text messages.”
Friends said Nona’s father had installed cameras all around the home so he could watch the family’s comings and goings. Others said he nailed her bedroom window shut so she could not sneak out at night and see her boyfriend.
“She couldn’t date at all until she was a certain age, but when he was going to let her date she couldn’t date anyone outside of their race or religion,” Reed said.
Thanks very much for this posting.
Yup first I’ve heard of this. Not shocked now that I know this is such a peaceful religion. They mean us no harm. sarcasm.
Wouldn’t this problem go away if all muslim men were eliminated from the US?
The biggest surprise here is that the POS offed himself as well. That doesn’t happen very often unless the ROPer is a suicide bomber aiming to kill as many Infidels as possible.
At least - no more should be allowed in.
I also find it interesting that he murdered his son, his sister and her husband, as well as other relatives besides his apostate daughter.
You're welcome, Onyx. I just saw the report, and it's the first I've seen of a Muslim connection to the crime. I almost posted it in Breaking News.
When I first read this story, I posted, ‘angry muzzie father mad at family for going ‘Western’?
Sadly, I was right.
Since the media has been so hush hush about the details surrounding this story, I kind figured it was something along these lines.
muslims are pigs
Not buying it.
This was no more “honor killing” than Jared Loughner.
Pamela Gellar’s credibility just took a nosedive...particularly over his “crazy” restrictions. Every father that doesn’t let his daughter run like a greyhound practices damn near everything mentioned.
What's so awful about the murder is the consistency of it: this isn't one crazy man going after his daughters for his own reasons, but reasons based on religious and cultural ideology shared by others. For every "honor murder" we hear about in the papers, there are at least eight more waiting to happen, from fathers who think exactly the same way this man did.
And yet we get TV shows like "All American Muslim."
Neighbors said Yazdanpanah and his wife, Fatemeh Rahmadi, separated months ago when she moved into the Grapevine apartment where the shooting took place.
The couple’s oldest daughter — 19-year-old Nona Yazdanpanah — was a Tarrant County College student who had just graduated from Colleyville Heritage High School along with her best friend, Allison Baum.
“It was just family issues, just typical family issues,” Baum said. “The mom and dad didn’t get along. The dad was never violent, never did anything to hurt them. He loved his kids and he was a good dad.”
At Coldwater Creek Spa in Southlake, employees told News 8 Fatemeh Rahmadi had not shown up for work, causing alarm, because she had never once been late in the four years she worked there. They feared the worst.

The Colleyville home where Aziz Yazdanpanah lived had been foreclosed on more than a year ago.
Sure, but it would still be going on rampantly elsewhere around the world.
There's going to come a point (soon, I hope) when the people of all Western nations rise up and collectively denounce this barbaric religion.
Just saw you mention this on the TX board. hmmmmmmmmmmmmm..
Yep, this is just the kind of people we want to encourage to emigrate here.
If they were muslims why where they opening Christmas presents?
