AMERICA'S MOST ..... DISHONEST

Close to a year after Amina and Sarah's death, America's Most Wanted did a segment on the story and rewrote history.

The deliberate silence of media, law enforcement, culture and the families, this disconnect in the West, endangers our ability to fight the global jihad and jeopardizes the lives of those who wish to escape the shackles of the oppression of women in Islam.

I haven't seen it yet but here is their Aunt Gail's reaction. I am vomiting.

I am livid! My heart is broken for poor Amina! They portrayed her as a killer and even used a knife as an assumed weapon of choice. How dare they! Then, to show these girls plotting against a man who they feared more than a rattlesnake! How preposterous! In this airing, the producer and John Walsh made the victims seem deserving of what Yasser did to them. Now, I see them as victims of a show intended to bring justice!  

You know, the facts were all wrong. Why? I know that I have spoken to this producer for months now! So has Joyce Boucher as well! Let me do a reality check! Here are the facts they misrepresented: My niece is not Arabic nor, is she Hispanic looking! She is pale skinned and blue eyed! They represented this as an Arabic family with a dictator father and husband. Another fact totally avoided...ISLAM, the brother and son of the parents from hell. The very one who promises to kill me? Where was Yasser's and Tissy's beloved son who spied on these girls and bullied his mother? To me, this was an intentional omission! To have added a character as radical as Islam, this might have given Cair, the wrong impression! God forbid! Another, Amina DID NOT come home on her own! no way as she told Connie that she would rather be dead than ever go back home. She meant that too! Amina was co-hearsed by my own niece to go back. This, after hours of calling Amina and telling her to come home. Tissy went as far as to put Yasser on the phone but, Amina knew death was awaiting her if she returned. When Amina did return, she and Sarah were taken into Yasser's cab and she did not go into that kitchen and rummage through the frig. Give me a break! One of the biggest misrepresentation of the facts, Amina was in the front seat and Sarah was in the back seat. Amina, was sitting facing Yasser as a friend saw them and said so. If you simply listen to the 9-1-1 phone call from the cabbie who found them, he says there are two women, one in the front seat and one in the backseat! He describes what he sees in this call as he was asked too. He saw a woman in the front seat, "I have not seen her hand move, there is blood coming from her ear and she is slumped over." THESE ARE EYEWITNESS FACTS! Yasser, also knew exactly where to park that cab! It could not be seen by the cameras which are on the Omni Mandalay. No mention of this premeditated fact! I could go on and on about how they misrepresented the facts and truth about this tragic HONOR KILLING of my sisters granddaughters.  

Where was the part of Sarah's call where she says," no, not again, (door opens) I'm dying, my blood baba...no, stop it!" These were Sarah's own words to her father. She is telling him, LOOK, see my blood! I'm dying, you do not need to do more to me! But, to no avail, he finishes her off as she is on the cell phone with the police who placed her on hold! How dare they! I guess they did not want everyone to hear the officer ask Sarah for the address and to hold on as he called the fire department for paramedics. Oh yeah, let's not offend the police and certainly not the radical Muslims!! Talk about political correctness...what a joke.

I used to have a lot of respect for John Walsh as I know that man had to walk through hell when his own child was abducted. Now, I resent him saying this case was special to him! Yeah, right John John! I saw his true colors tonight and he is definitely in this for the money...oh, of course, "in my opinion!!!!!" He did not even understand the term, honor killing, " Some people say this was an honor killing. But, there's no honor in this." Again, how dare he! I have worked my butt off to educate and get the word out about honor killings and he diminished what honor killings entail. You know, like usually, they are well planned out in advance and others in the family often involve themselves as well. How about this one? Yasser shoots the girls, gets out of the cab with not a single drop of blood on him (after 11 shots were fired at close range) and simple walks away. WHO PICKED HIM UP? He did not leave there on foot! Someone picked his sorry butt up and fled with him. FACT!  

Never, will I watch this comedy of errors again. If only they researched, then perhaps I would believe this show has some credibility. I suppose no one read the autopsy. Amina had more rigor mortis than Sarah. Does this not imply that perhaps, Amina was shot before Sarah? After all, she was sitting in the front, not the back! My niece told me herself that Sarah called not ten to fifteen minutes after Yasser left with these girls and she did not answer the phone. "I don't know why I did not answer the phone for Sarah." I think she did and does know why she did not answer that phone to Sarah. Yet, AMW made Tissy look like a beaten down puppy. If that were so, then why did Yasser not kill her for running with his girls? After all, Sarah and Tissy did return before Amina was brought back. Yasser had plenty of time to kill them both but, he waited! He was waiting on Amina and Amina knew it too! My opinion, so did my niece!  

By the way, those girls were not shot and left in the parking lot of the Omni Mandalay! I believe Yasser shot them at another location. In fact, there are two shooting ranges just a few blocks from the hotel. Had he shot them there, no one would have been shocked to hear gun shots ring out. The cell tower where Sarah's call came in...right near the shooting ranges! The cowardly beast shot them and I think he thought they were dead until Sarah made that call. This forced him to drive quickly to the Omni as Sarah gave away the location from using that phone. If it had played out the way they portrayed this, it would have meant that Yasser killed the girls in the daylight, at an exclusive hotel on New Years Day, and no one heard 11 bullets ring out nor, saw anything. You know, like a bloody mess walking down the sidewalk, in daylight?

You and I both know AMW made this Muslim friendly for their viewers. But, we also know that the truth was NOT enacted. Simply, a fact! Someone please write to AMW and define honr killings for these pseudo intellectuals! Oh! My opinion, of course! Let's keep this politically correct! I DETEST THIS TERM! It hides many sins of mankind! Truths, too!

I watched this with two friends to get them educated. The only redeeming factor is that the actor who portrayed the killer yaser said resembled him.
Aside from that, I had to talk over the show explaining to my friends the true story. I was dumbfounded, and in my fervor to educate my friends on the facts, didn't catch all of the egregious errors they made. For instance, I had a feeling they were hinting that the girls were retaliating against their father, but I purposely dismissed the idea that AMW would falsify to that extent. Apparently they did. Unbelievable.
Also, I heard NOTHING close to the ELEVEN shots that were fired at point blank range in the real murders.
And really, WHY NO MENTION OF ISLAM SAID?! WAS HIS NAME TOO POLITICALLY INCORRECT?!?!
And also, like Gail said, WHY WAS the (complicit) Tissie portrayed as middle eastern herself?!

Finally, the no offense to the girls who portrayed Amina and Sarah, but the Real Amina and Sarah, who are in Heaven, are much more beautiful than the actors.

Again, AT LEAST people watched the show, and despite its MANY MANY DISTORTIONS and OUTRIGHT LIES, at the very least they made it clear that the father killed his two daughters, and they showed the dad's ugly mug to millions of viewers.
Millions of viewers are going to keep their eye out for him.

I didn't get to watch. But to me there goes the credibility of Walsh. Whom I have never liked at all. Yeah sure the girls were hiding because they wanted to murder their father. What stupid sobs. We ought to call for a boycott

Very heart wrenching to read, and my heart goes out to Gail.

I hope people will complain to the producer and John Walsh, this shouldn't be ignored.

Sigh.

Having been down this road myself with the producers of a major tv "investigations" show, I can tell you with almost 100% certainty that the producers were "got to" once word was out that a segment on this murder case was planned. In my case it was an expose of a child kidnap/prostitution ring involving someone with extensive political contacts. It was in the can and they shut it down a week before airing. The producer with whom I worked had an excellent understanding of the case -- and wound up in the hospital with some mysterious ailment. In that case, threats of physical harm, blackmail, and/or legal action were probably employed. In this case, political/political-correctness/Islamist pressure and threats of harassment and legal action probably sufficed. It's been my experience that many MSM people are terrified of "offending" small rogue cults, never mind a snarling monster like Islam. Where did those claims about the girls plotting and Amina having a knife come from? Because they sound like classic lies and manipulations to make it look as if the girls somehow "deserved it".

Producers of "real crime" shows such as this have an ethical responsibility to portray the facts of the case according to what the record shows. Leaving out pertinent facts is bad enough, but making up "details" such as claiming Tissie is Middle Eastern ought to be actionable. If Yasser is ever caught, and the AMW segment is shown to have actually been misleading, they should be able to nail them for obstruction of justice. That might be strong enough to counteract whatever the Islamists are threatening.

Gail, I am so sorry this happened to you when you trusted these people to do the right thing. I talked with some of the stunned parents of exploited kids after the segment I helped on was cancelled and it was just unbelievable what those producers did to some of them. Insisted that one bring her son out of hiding and have him appear on the show, name, face and all.

Hi,

RE O'Bimbo's birth certificate:
here's one more salient little detail: in '05 some Dem congressmen and a traitor Republican tried to ratify the constitution so people born outside the USA could qualify for President. Look up H.J.RES2 and H.J.RES42 (Conyers, Sherman, Snyder, Shays).

WHY DAVKE IN '05, FOR FRIGGIN'S SAKE?

[Timur]

Islam Said is obviously retarded and stupid.
More proof of islamic "superiority".

Having been through what he's been through, I can't believe that John Walsh would be knowingly complicit in this farce. Someone should get into contact with him and get the real story to him. Let's not jump to conclusions until we hear from him.

Decimation of decency.

I saw it and was disgusted.

Is anyone writing a book about this - and about the increaseing number of honor killings in America?

Pam, I think there is a real opportunity for you. This needs to be exposed beyond the blogosphere.

For lack of anything of true interest to watch, I ended up watching AMW when this segment was aired. Had I not read about the murder of these two teens by their own father via a memorial posting on Robert Spencer's web site I would not have known anything more than what was stated in the AMW show.

I didn't recognize it at first but when the pronunciation of their last name was given a couple of times it dawned on me that these were the same girls.

I was appalled when I heard something to the effect that "some extremist web sites have tried to say that this is an honor killing when it is not".

I agree with the article where it pretty much says that John Walsh has a lot of gall to add even more pain and insult to the family members who know that this murder is directly tied to the fathers religious beliefs, no matter what you call it.

I honestly don't believe that I can trust AMW anymore to give me the straight history of any case. If I want to know who are the most wanted in America I will simply go to the FBI's web site where there is a lot of information. It still might not be as accurate as possible but at least it will probably be closer to the truth.

Tragically, political correctness, cultural and moral relativism are held in higher regard than human rights and human lives these days. The whole world has gone mad. What's wrong with Western civilization and its (our) values? Why don't we demand the same respect for our culture, our values, our way of life that liberals bend over backwards to extend to those who would destroy this culture?

Feminists, where are you? Your silence is deafening.

We "are" our sisters' keepers. Their voices are silenced. If we don't take up their cries, who will? It is not our custom to murder our mothers, daughters, sisters, nieces, wives, cousins.

Moral and cultural relativism is a coward's cop-out.
