Muslim unrest hits US homes: Honor killings are on the rise
NY Post ^ | November 1, 2009 | MAUREEN CALLAHAN

In what may be the first recorded instance of a Muslim wife attempting to murder her husband for not being pious enough, a Staten Island woman was charged this week with attempted murder, assault and criminal possession of a weapon. Rabia Sarwar, a 37-year-old Muslim, said she did it because her husband, a 41-year-old Pakistani native, enjoyed booze and pork and wanted her to dress in revealing clothes. (She held fabric over her face and threw a shawl over her head before leaving court on Thursday.)

While the Sarwar case is sensational by dint of the role-reversal and the method of attempted murder (throat-slitting), it’s also pedestrian: Over the past two years, there have been about a dozen attempted or successful honor killings committed in the US.

Last week in Arizona, an Iraqi-born man tried to kill his 20-year-old daughter because she wanted out of her arranged marriage; he escaped.

No wonder why these Arabs are such radicals. Look at the condition of their marriage rules. Perhaps the way to solve
our problems with these terrorists is to require they attend marriage counseling. ;-)

No this really can´t be!!!!!because don´t politicians tell us all the time that they are all just peace loving nice people who want nothing more than to live in peace and are so willing to assimilate into our societies?

What shall be done to fight the virus of Islam?

Is it our fate to go the way of Europe?

Does the 1st Amendment demand our eventual suicide?

Baloney. Part of “successful” would be...”undetected.”

The state government of Ohio is assisting the local muslims in the slow-motion murder of Rifqa Bary. She is being held prisoner with no contact to the outside world and without personal legal representation. Her crime? Converting from islam to Christianity. There will be a rally for Rifqa at her next court date on Nov 16 in Columbus, OH. Go to Atlas Shruggs blog for all of the details.

Muslims are at their core nothing less than murderous bloody savages.

Bottom line.

Anybody know when her 18th birthday is? I get the feeling that the authorities are trying to drag the case out until it becomes moot.

At 17+, she seems old enough to know where she wants to live and where she feels secure. But Islam now occupies a favored place in the US, just as it does in the UK.

Of course, if she got pregnant and wanted an abortion, all bets would be off. She would be quite capable of making THAT decision! s/o

“....she did it because her husband, a 41-year-old Pakistani native, enjoyed booze and pork and wanted her to dress in revealing clothes.”

....I think in the long run Islam is going to have trouble here...way too much temptation here for them to keep a tight rein....the week before 9/11 the hijacker cell in Laurel MD amused themselves by partying in strip clubs.

If Obama and his policies continue to impoverish us, there won’t be many muzzies wanting to come here to bitch and whine.

Wait a minute! That isn’t “muslim unrest”...it is how they choose to live.

Islam is incompatible with a free society.

They will self-segregate if they arrive here in big numbers as they do in Europe.

If out idiot government wants to accommodate that tendency and allow Sharia courts and make woman cops wear headscarves in muzzie ghettos, we’ll have major, major social problems as they do now in “Londonistan.”

Yesterday, the Islamofascists called off a pro-Sharia “massive rally” in London supposedly because moderate Muslims convinced the leaders to cancel it but I think the real reason was a planned counter-rally by the EDL, which is gaining a following. It is very patriotic, and is NOT fascistic. Just tough soccer guys who are tired of being crapped on by foreigners.

A 61-year-old man accused of beating his brother to death in Lynnwood told Snohomish County sheriff’s detectives it was an honor killing to avenge an insulting remark.

In a police statement filed Thursday in Everett District Court, 61-year-old Mehdi M. Matin says more than 20 years ago his brother uttered words about his bride-to-be so terrible the wedding was called off. Both men are from Afghanistan.

Matin was visiting his brother Monday when he repeated the remark.

Matin told detectives he hit his brother in the head with a pipe until he was unconscious and then strangled him with a rope.

Matin is jailed on $1 million bail for investigation of second-degree murder.

A liberal friend’s wife teaches at DePaul in Chicago. A day or two after 9-11, an upset Muslim student told her that about half of the Muslim students were exchanging candy to celebrate the murder of 3,000 Americans. He spoke with a Tribune reporter who said that they had received similar reports from other people.

She turns 18 in August. The authorities are NOT trying to drag this out. They are assisting the local terrorists in enforcing sharia law (ie, death for apostates). The state is even treating Rifqa like an apostate under sharia. She is being held incommunicado. No phone. No internet. No friends. No personal lawyer.
