Lawsuit: "Honor Killings" Covered Up by City of Dearborn: Demand a Special Investigation

Just a few of the honor murder victims in the West (US, UK, Canada, Israel, Denmark) - art here

We have long suspected the cover-up of Islamic honor killings in America. I have tried for years to determine how many young Muslim girls died in the US, and under what circumstances. There is no central data bank with that sort of information. We know the media refuses to call it what it is; do we believe that law enforcement would? The Pentagon can't even say jihad when the subject of the investigation of the Fort Hood jihadi Hasan comes up.

The higher-ups in law enforcement and government are scrubbing the horrific crime of honor killing. How do they look their wives and daughters and sisters in the face at night? This points to the continued diminishment of women in the West by the introduction of Islamic cultural mores and practices. This egregious violation of public trust and American rule of law was exposed in the lawsuit filed by four Christians arrested in Michigan for passing out leaflets at an Arab Festival.

Covering up what should be a capital crime demands a special investigation, not just in Michigan, but nationwide. This is happening everywhere -- stealth sharia enforcement.

Props to the Thomas More Law center for filing this suit and taking on this human rights issue. Robert Muise of The Thomas More Law Center has represented me in a number of my free speech cases, along with David Yerushalmi. Our legal warriors.

Lawsuit: 'Honor killings' OK by Michigan Shariah 

Plaintiffs challenge city's official cooperation with Islamic WorldNetDaily

A lawsuit that challenges the official cooperation by the city of Dearborn, Mich., which has one of the largest populations of Muslims in the U.S., with Islamic interests makes a stunning allegation: that under the recognized "Shariah" law in the city, there have been "honor killing" murders that have been "covered up."

The lawsuit was brought by the Thomas More Law Center on behalf of four Christians whose speech and other civil rights were restricted by official city action at several recent city-sponsored Arab Fest events.

The lawsuit on behalf of Acts 17 Apologetics, Nebeel Qureshi, David Wood, Paul Rezkalla, Negeen Mayel and Joshua Hogg names as defendants the city of Dearborn, Mayor John. B. O'Reilly, Police Chief Ronald Haddad and a long list of police officers in addition to American Arab Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Fay Beydoun and Norma Haidous, the special events coordinator for the American Arab chamber.

Officials in the offices of both O'Reilly and Haddad said they were unable to respond to questions about the case, which seeks a court order halting the city's practices regarding speech and distribution of literature on public property at the city's Arab Fest during the summers.

It also seeks compensatory and punitive damages from the defendants.

The allegation about the honor killings that have been "overlooked" in Dearborn comes on Page 61 of the 96-page complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan today.

Describing the circumstances under which police officers arrested the Christians and ordered them to spend a night in jail rather than view readily available exculpatory evidence that ultimately cleared them of the charges, the complaint notes that during the booking of the Christians at the city jail, "a sympathetic city police officer told plaintiffs Qureshi and Rezkalla that some of the police officers were 'on their side,' 'agreed with what they were doing' and 'didn't think they did anything wrong,' or words to that effect."

The comments simply were "demonstrating further that defendants retaliated against plaintiffs for their religious speech activity," the complaint explains.

"The sympathetic police officer told plaintiffs that the security personnel hired for the Arab Festival were mostly 'criminals and gang members,'" the complaint explained. Then it continued:

"The sympathetic police officer told plaintiffs that there were instances in the city where 'honor killings' permitted by Shariah had taken place, but they were covered up," the complaint alleges.

There were available no further details about the honor killings, which are murders committed by Muslims to protect or restore the "honor" of their families against their own family members who may have somehow created "dishonor," such as refusing to cooperate with an arranged marriage, or marrying outside of Islam.

[...]

"Muslims dominate the political and law enforcement process in Dearborn. It seems that police were more interested in placating the mayor and Muslims than obeying our Constitution. Shariah law makes it a crime to preach the Gospel to Muslims. This is a classic example of stealth Jihad being waged right here in America. And it should be a wake-up call for all patriotic Americans,” he said.

The first situation developed June 18 when police jailed four Christian missionaries when they witnessed Nabeel Qureshi, a Muslim convert to Christianity, peaceably discussing his Christian faith with Muslim youths.

The other three, David Wood, Paul Rezkalla, and Negeen Mayel, were arrested along with Qureshi for allegedly "breaching the peace," and were led away in handcuffs by police while Muslim onlookers cheered and applauded.

Discovery, discovery, discovery!

Request for the production of documents such as police intake records, missing persons lists, morgue records, funeral homes,

Depositions of lots of police officers. They won't be able to keep their stories correct and facts will come out

[Zilla]

Allah forbid anyone in Dearbornistan offend their islamist overlords.

Honoring Freedom of religion or Separation of Church and state does NOT insulate any one group from prosecution when laws are broken. When a cult commits a crime, the law shall be applied equally and equitably. When a Muslim breaks a law, the law shall be applied equally and equitably. The law does not descrimminate. These are our laws and always have been. No religion has the right to redefine acts which are deemed illegal, thus separation of church and state. What about this are our legislators 'misinterpreting'? The law is applied equally and no one group is ever entitled to 'special' treatment. PERIOD!

I don't suppose Obama's DOD will be investigating these obvious civil rights violations.

[help me out]

didn't the FBI go after randy weaver and david koresh for far less?

I admire you guys so much, and I'm not even a Christian.

David Wood,
You're a smart kid and could do just about anything with your life, you chooses to live by his beliefs in the service of our G_d.

Negeen Mayel,
You are my kind of girl!
If I had a son I would say "See, this is the kind of girl you should be looking. They are hard to find but you have to try."

You two other guys, G_d bless you. I have seen David and Negeen in several videos so I feel that I know them. Hope to be seeing you soon. I haven't checked your website in a while. I should just pop oveer there.

G_d bless you all!

Here is a link from newspaper in Germany.
This happended a few days ago.
A 21 year old pregnant girl was murdered by her ex-boyfriend (18 years old,
father of the child) with more than 100 stab wounds. The child died of course too.

The killer will probably just get 10 years prison ( he counts as a juvenile)

Sometimes I envy the USA for death penalty.

Please tell me that the cops are being accused of covering up the honor-killing aspects of the murders, not the actual murders.

From the article, it seems that a faction within the PD might flip and give evidence. We might even see some criminal indictments.

Hey Pamela -

Thanks for using my image in your ongoing efforts to expose these deplorable acts. The original can be found here, where I've linked to your site and credited you in the image notation. As you probably guessed, I got the original images off your site.

Keep up the great work in keeping these women's memories alive and helping out any future victims of this horrible cult of women-hatred.

Interfaith understanding - Anglican Church condones honor killings in Britanistan.

"The sympathetic police officer told plaintiffs that the security personnel hired for the Arab Festival were mostly 'criminals and gang members,'"

I knew it! I saw the vids and that "security" was acting like typical middle eastern thugs, not proffesional security personell. If police haddn't been on the outskirts of that event who knows what would have happened to those 4 men.

It is highly suspicious that the organizers of that event would hire thugs instead of real security guards.

[Kuffar]

Where is our Attourney General? Why isn't this being investigated? Ohyeah... It doesn't involve white right wing bitter clingers telling off color jokes about gays.

Nothing to see... Move along!
