Islamic Honor Killing In Texas: "Santa Killer" Was Muslim Who Hated Daughter Dating A Non-Muslim
Dallas Morning News, HumanEvents, Jihad Watch Blog via Atlas Shrugs ^ | December 27, 2011

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.

At the least, that would be a start.

If they were muslims why where they opening Christmas presents?

Maybe that's what the killer objected to, the fact that they were celebrating Christmas.

Why do you think the State Dept. is bringing them in as fast as possible? It’s part of the plan. I think the blog called OIL FOR IMMIGRATION pretty much hit the nail on the head.Who the hell needs nukes when you have IMMIGRATION?

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.

Go to the link and read the whole report. I only posted the highlights.

There's witness testimony that attests to the fact that the father forbade his daughter from dating non-Muslim men, and was twisted out of shape about her social life.

What's happened here, fits the 'honor killing' profile like a glove. It can't be ruled out, and in my mind, is the most likely motive for the murders.

His house had been foreclosed about a year ago and his wife was divorcing him and had already moved out. This is more than just 'honor killing' because he didn't just kill his daughter he killed the entire family.

Maybe, but I’m not going to beat my daughter and set her on fire if she doesn’t comply.

I believe it was his wife’s sister and husband, which would make it not so unusual.

Enough with all LEGAL immigration for 20 years. We are letting in too many people who don’t share our culture.

I was pleasantly surprised to read here earlier today that Islam-is-Bad had a feral pig problem.

Zarei owned a popular Dallas, Texas, ranch and was well known in the Iranian-American community, according to WFAA. On Christmas Eve, the family hosted a party at the ranch. The gunman was not invited.

Nasrin Rahmaty had been separated from her husband since March, according to ABC affiliate WFAA. Rahmaty and her two children moved into the Grapevine, Texas, apartment where they were murdered, while Yazdanpanah reportedly remained in the family’s Colleyville, Texas, home, which had been foreclosed on last year, WFAA reported.

Yazdanpanah had been having financial troubles after his real estate business slowed down and had reportedly filed for bankruptcy.

“I swear i never had a good feeling about him when i met him,” Katherine-Anne Coronado, who said she was longtime friends with Nona Yazdanpanah, wrote about her friend’s father on a Facebook memorial page.

Another family friend, Sedi Toumani, agreed.

“During the years, we sensed things, but not to the point he would take his own children’s lives,” Toumani told WFAA.

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.

It would be interesting to hear how DFW area Muslims are reacting to this story today - particularly the women. I'm sure there's a lot less skepticism about the motives in this case, than there is among the general, politically correct public.

I can't imagine the degree of psychic pressure such reports put on Muslim women in Western countries. The repressive effect must be chilling.

“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”

I agree 100% on the principles, although I'm sure I differ on the details:

“Certain age”: I've told her 30, but she's 16 now and I'll probably let her go to the prom this year if it's well-chapperoned by someone with the same last name as her. (If your last name is Smith, you might want to reword that rule if you decide to borrow it.)

“Race”: Human. (from one blood He made all the nations)

“Religion” - The true religion of peace - “Therefore having been justified by faith we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ...” (Romans 5:1)

Yep, this is just the kind of people we want to encourage to emigrate here.

Obama's real peeps...

House foreclosed on

Property records show that a bank had foreclosed on Aziz Yazdanpanah’s Colleyville house in the 5400 block of Sycamore Court in 2010, but he was still living there, neighbors said.

Baum recalled Nona Yazdanpanah complaining about her parents fighting before they separated.

“I knew they were separated. I knew things were rough, but I never thought anything drastic would happen,” Baum said.

Baum said the separation was very difficult on the family’s father.

Baum said the family was Muslim but celebrated Christmas as a cultural holiday. The parents were originally from Iran.

They were obviously westernized. My baby sister's Muslim husband just attended a family Christmas get-together at my dad's house in San Jose. He partied right along with everyone else.

Still, you never know when 'sudden jihad syndrome' is going to take one of these people. There have been lots and lots of cases of westernized Muslims, who suddenly 'went jihad', to the surprise of everyone who knew them.

He killed the entire family because over the years they sided with his wife and daughter instead of supporting his righteous Muslim views.

It’s in the longer article that Pam Geller cites.
