ACTION ALERT: HELP STOP HONOR KILLINGS

Muslims Against Sharia has launched a campaign to quash the increasing occurance of Islamic "honor" killings int the USA.

I am enormously proud to have been asked to chair this campaign and I intend to pursue this vigorously. I ask you to here - sign the petition and write, write, write your Congress people, Senatros, Representatives ....everyone. Please, I implore you to make a difference. Do it for them.

Muslim murderer on loose . Where is media outrage?

Amina_sarah_said

There are girls across this great nation living in terror. We cannot sit idly by. Yaser Said is still at large, hidden by the Muslim underground. This must end.

The STOP HONORCIDE! campaign was launched on Mother's Day 2008. The goal of the campaign is to prosecute honorcides to the fullest extent of the law. We want honorcide to be classified as a hate crime and we advocate for every existing hate crime legislation to be amended to include honorcide.

If you wish to support STOP HONORCIDE!, please send us an email with your name, title (if applicable) and a short statement of support.

If you would like to lobby your elected official(s) to amend current hate crime legislation to include honorcide, you may use the letter below or you can draft your own letter.



 
Campaign Co-Chairs
Linda Ahmed, Muslims Against Sharia
Pamela Geller, Editor, Atlas Shrugs


Dear Title Name,

(As your constituent,) I urge you to amend name or number of the statute law to include honorcide. Honorcide is a heinous crime practiced in backwards societies. Honorcide or honor killing is a murder of a female by her male family member(s), when a female is believed to have brought dishonor on her family. This so-called "dishonor" includes, among other things, refusing an arranged marriage, being the victim of a sexual assault, seeking a divorce, dating a non-Muslim, or simply refusing to wear a hijab. It is appalling that in twenty-first century America honorcides are still taking place. But what is even more appalling is that honorcide is deemed to be acceptable by members of some religious and ethnic communities. We must put a stop to it. Any form of gender discrimination, especially honorcide, has no place in any civilized society, but especially not in America.

Please introduce the bill to amend name or number of the statute law to include honorcide.

Sincerely,

Signature

You might want to specifically add it to existing hate crime legislation.
Both in the sense of rage during the commission, as well as the attitude of justification afterwards equals the worst of the torturous death KKK murders (low drop hangings, burning to death, ect.)

Also add to the accomplice statutes, but not to change the laws, but to "correct misapprehensions" about existing law. That leaves Aramina and Sara's brother chargeable under existing law.

Please be careful

Can anyone get in touch with Glenn Beck?
He did show the "Sharia Law Executioner" clip..

He may be the "perfect" person to contact for this noble effort to stand by Amina and Sarah.

If the pig left the Country, then what?
Arab Countries aren't part of the Hague Convention, so Egypt doesn't have to do shit.

Keep the pressure as high as possible - it's having its effect on those that aid and abet this murderer. See yesterday's article at Frontpagemag.com by Phyllis Chesler: Still Dead in Dallas

Old News: The sisters, Sarah and Amina Said, are still dead; their father-murderer, Yasir Abdul Said, has not yet been found; the mainstream media continues its uncanny silence.

What's New: The reward for Said's capture has been doubled and Tissy Said, his wife and the mother of the two murdered girls, has been ejected from the home of her extended Muslim family. Her beloved son, Islam, (from whom she would not willingly part), has been sent away from her. The Said family presumably want him to be "around a man" (his paternal uncle in New York City) and not around his mother. According to Tissy's great-aunt, the brave, outspoken, Gail Gartrell:

"I feel Tissy is in grave danger from her own son. This is what I think his uncle is working through with Islam in New York. I fear his return. All the nieces and nephews in the Said family are accusing Tissy of this being her fault. They have turned on her. They blame her for allowing her daughters to see American boys. She has become the enemy. When I spoke to Tissy, she seemed more upset about this betrayal than about anything else. She told me she did not care if he (Islam? or Yaser?) killed her or not. Now, her spirit is broken since her Muslim family has walked away from her. Tissy told me that she wants to be buried next to her daughters."

Since the honor killings occurred in Texas, I have contacted Texas Senator John Cornyn's office to see what leadership position he is taking on the issue.

So far I have not received an adequate response, but I will keep trying.

Pam,

I'd like you to rethink the whole "hate crime" thing. Hate crime begins to sound to me that we take into account what the person was thinking at the time of the crime. Hate crime becomes "thought crime." A very dangerous road to go down IMHO.

Crime, any crime should be punished the same. Killing someone is wrong and needs to be dealt with swiftly, though many times that does not happen. If a father kills his beautiful daughters as Said did calling it a hate crime does not diminish the fact that his daughters are still dead. At what point are we going to have a unit on the police force called the "thought squad?" By advocating for hate crimes I think you are buying into a liberal fantasy. Just punish the crime and be done with it. It does not matter what the person committing the crime was thinking at the time they committed it.

My position is - honor killings should be a capital offense Period.
It's not a hate crime. It's an act of war.
Honor killing should be punishable by death and their families deported as they are complicit in most instances.

My apoloigies if I misunderstood your position.

"Honor killing should be punishable by death and their families deported as they are complicit in most instances."

I agree completely with that statement. The ROP is a cancer on this planet.

Ayn Rand at 100: "Yours is the Glory"

  • Aynrandstamp_1

  • Speaking to the unnamed, unchampioned, beating heart of her new land, Ayn was to say: 'Yours is the glory.'"
    A man whose ability and independence leads others to reject him, but who perseveres nevertheless to achieve his values. Man as an individual, as a creator. What's the most depraved type of human being? Not a sadist or a murderer or a sex maniac or a dictator; "The man without a purpose." Yet most people seem to go through their lives without a clearly defined purpose.

  • Life has Loveliness to sell,
    All beautiful and splendid things,
    Blue waves whitened on a cliff,
    Soaring fires that sways and swing,
    And children's faces looking up,
    Holding wonder like a cup

    Life has Loveliness to sell,
    Music like a curve of Gold,
    Scent of pinetrees in the rain,
    Eyes that love you, arms that hold,
    And for your spirit's still delight,
    Holy stars that star the night.

    Spend all you have for loveliness,
    Buy it and never count the cost;
    For one white singing hour of Peace
    Count many a year of strife well lost
    And for a breath of ecstasy
    Give all you have been, or could be.
