Multiple Honor Murder Trial: Muslim Dad, "God's curse on them for generations. May the devil ... (expletive) on their graves ... They betrayed Islam."

It is only in these honor murder cases that we get a rare glimpse of the horror and brutality of the lives of Muslim girls (and women) living under the sharia here in the West.

"God's curse on them for generations. May the devil ... (expletive) on their graves ... They betrayed Islam." Muslim dad

Reading through the testimony, I am reminded of Amina and Sarah Said and Aqsa Parvez, whose stories prior to their Islamic honor murders are strikingly similar. They lived their lives filled with terror and fear in homemade concentration camps. It is an Islamic pattern under the sharia to utterly subjugate, oppress and control female members of devout Muslim families. A willful girl with her own dreams and aspirations is tantamount to a death sentence. And there are few avenues open to them for help.

These girls went to the police, begged to to put in foster care. The AFDI/SIOA freedom bus campaign was offering critical help to these voicelsss victims. And imagine, the sharia is so pervasive in the US, city transit authorities refused to run them (even when we sued and won).

DiManno: Alleged murder plot targeted ‘treacherous’ daughters, court told The Star.com

KINGSTON, ONT.—The secret life of dead girls: A biography in cellphone pictures.

Boldly, even sensually, the Shafia sisters posed to document their own brutally shortened existence.

Here is Zainab, stunningly beautiful, looking out coyly from under long eyelashes. She was the eldest daughter at 19, with a one-day marriage in her past, an engagement in her immediate future. The one who ran away from home, to a women’s shelter, complaining of an abusive family, and then, fatefully, returned home two weeks later.

Sahar, perhaps even more striking at 17, smolders in panties and bra. She was the one who, 40 days after entering the world, was given by her mother to another woman — the first, barren wife in a polygamous marriage — told, here, raise her as your own.

Geeti was only 13, the littlest rebel, a handful, failing in most of her school subjects, caught shop-lifting, sent home from school for dressing inappropriately. Geeti pleaded with anyone who would listen that she wanted to be placed in a foster family. The youngster scowls from a yearbook photo.

And then there was Rona Amir Mohammed, 53, a handsome woman and appendage to the marriage, introduced by the girls as their “aunt’’ but called Mother Rona. She poured her aching heart into a diary.

All dead, their bodies discovered June 30, 2009, in a Nissan Sentra submerged in the Kingston Mills locks of the Rideau Canal, floating gently in their vehicular coffin, long hair wafting.

An opening statement is not evidence, merely a preview of the case the prosecution will mount in coming weeks based on testimony, forensics, wiretaps, documents and a plethora of photos. The crux of it: That parents and 18-year-old brother planned and executed the murders from outrage over the intolerable, the defiance of daughters and the alliance with them of a woman treated for years as a burden and a slave.

A disgrace and shame to their family, though, for behaviour unbecoming to Afghan [Muslim] females — the boyfriends and the disobedience, the brazen disrespect for traditions and refusal to wear the hijab — violations of decorum so grievous that they needed to be killed, eliminated, to purify family honour, their “treachery’’ insupportable.

Mass murder committed, a court heard Thursday, by the mother and father and brother of the sisters, homicides staged to look like an accident during a family vacation, with Zainab at the wheel, on one of her furtive joyrides.

Mohammad Shafia, Tooba Mohammad Yahya and their son Hamed Mohammed Shafia have all pleaded not guilty to four counts each of first-degree murder. Their jury trial began here Thursday with a 90-minute opening statement from Crown Attorney Laurie Lacelle that left observers in the courtroom stunned over details finally revealed and allegations of a diabolical plot that defy imagination.

From a wiretapped conversation Shafia had with Tooba and Hamed, 20 days after the bodies were discovered, Shafia in a fury recalling the revealing cellphone pictures of Zainab and Shahar: “Curse God on both of them. Is that what a daughter should be? Would a daughter be such a whore? May the devil s--t on their graves.”

And later, not long before the trio was arrested in Montreal, Shafia tells Hamed, as Lacelle quoted from another wiretap transcript: “Even if they hoist me up on to the gallows, nothing is more dear to me than my honour.”

To his wife, Shafia allegedly assured that the right actions had been taken: “I say to myself, you did well. Were they to come back to life, I would do it again. No Tooba, they messed up. There was no other way. They were treacherous. They betrayed us immensely. There can be no betrayal worse than this. They committed treason on themselves. They betrayed humankind. They betrayed Islam. They betrayed our religion. They betrayed everything.”

From the sisters, there appears no words were left behind. But Rona wrote in her diary, the Crown told the jury, what she was thinking, fearing, in the weeks, even years, before her death, anxieties she also shared with siblings overseas when she was able to get out of the house and make phone calls.

“She described her life, how Shafia’s treatment of her deteriorated after the second marriage,” said Lacelle.

Rona wrote bitterly that Tooba had separated her from their co-husband, took her money, gradually limited the nights Rona and Shafia were permitted to sleep together, threatened to throw her out of their triplex Montreal apartment. “Miserable me, who wouldn’t question Shafia about anything,” wrote Rona, “who swallowed everything because I had no choice.’’

Tooba allegedly told her: “You’re not his wife. You’re my servant. Your family got rid of you. Who would want a dead weight around its neck? Your life is in my hands.”

The family emigrated to Montreal in 2007 after spending about a decade in Dubai, Pakistan and Australia. By then, Tooba had borne Shafia seven children. But there was deep friction in the household, with the daughters claiming to police, teachers and child welfare authorities that they were abused by their father and Hamed. Even their younger brother, a 12-year-old child, scolded Sahar once when discovering her in a restaurant with a boy. The males of the family, regardless of age, felt entitled to discipline the girls.

Zainab, when it was found she had a boyfriend, was kept away from school for an entire year. And when Sahar, after an argument with her mother, apparently made an attempt at suicide, Tooba told a worried Rona, court heard: “She can go to hell. Let her kill herself.’’

At one point, somebody called 911 and four of the children were discovered on the street near their home. Police responded and were told by the children that their lives were in danger. Child welfare authorities came to the house but, when Shafia arrived during the interview, the girls changed their story. The file was shortly thereafter closed.

All those fool liberals keep telling us Islam is the Religion of peace.The same thing happened here in Phoenix, where this crazy Muslim Dad ran over his daughter and her boy friends mother with an SUV,both ending up dying. Ran away to England, was brought back and will spend the rest of his life in Prison, costing the taxpayers of AZ about $60 a day. What we need is more of those crazies from the Middle East in this country!

Lest anyone think differently, these killings are absolutely in accordance with Islamic law. From Reliance of the Traveller, a classic manual of Islamic law, certified by al Azhar University in Cairo: "The following are not subject to retaliation: (4) a father of mother(or their fathers or mothers) for killing their offspring, or offspring's offspring." (o1.1). Also not subject to retaliation is a Muslim for killing a non-Muslim, but that is a subject for another day...

Muslim DOGS is what they are... Arab DOGS!

If I may, I'd like to put in a hopeful note here. Regrettably there will likely be more of these so-called honor killings here in North America as Muslim girls, living in the 24/7 culture of America, with its decided Hollywood flavor, are exposed to freedom in schools, on the street generally, with their Western friends. Their fathers, uncles, brothers will naturally be threatened by it all, yelling that Islam is being attacked. More murders will result. But if the authorities do their job - unlike the police in Tampa and the famous suicide by coffee table case - and these Muslim murderers are punished, it will empower more and more of these Muslim teenage girls, and perhaps also older Muslim wives, that they have the right under American/Can laws to live as free people, not as the property of some Muslim dude. And Muslim men will begin to think, "If I strike her, adverse consequences might happen to me. This place is different than back home [fill in the blank with the Islamic shiitte hole of your choice] where I would get away with it."

@Remco Kimber,

Muslime men are hoping that they will be able to infiltrate and subvert our law enforcement, judiciary and legislature to such a degree that sharia law will be the law of the land in effect, if not in fact.

[Xavier823]

Don't kid yourself the Tampa police did do their job. Their job was to cover this Islamic honor murder up and that's just what they did. I can tell you that it is not the 1st time the Tampa P.D. covered up a homicide. Notice also that the Tampa Trib and the St Pete Times did no in depth investigation report on the story. If this family had been fundamental Christians both of those newspapers would have been all over the story.

“Even if they hoist me up on to the gallows, nothing is more dear to me than my honour.”

Hoist away.

Unfortunately there is no death penalty in Canada so we will be stuck paying for these monsters room and board for a long time. Though possibly the son might get out earlier, given his age.

Quebec is looking for French-speaking immigrants and favours people from Algeria, Morrocco, Lebanon and Egypt who often have French as a second or third language. So despite the majority of Quebecers wanting immigrants who share their values (very feminist in Quebec) we are getting too many immigrants from these countries. This guy might have got in since he had money to buy a business.

" I SAID IT BEFORE, AND I'LL SAY IT AGAIN "
ALL MUSLIMS ARE TREACHEROUS, IGNORANT, BARBARIC, INCONSIDERATE, NON~CARING BASTARDS.
EVERY ONE OF THEM MUST BE DEPORTED OUT OF AMERICA, CANADA, FRANCE, ENGLAND, THE
NETHERLANDS, AUSTRALIA AND ALL OTHER WESTERN NATIONS.
WE CAN NEVER KNOW WHICH ONE OF THEM WILL ATTACK US NEXT.

I'm just glad that people are starting to see islam for what it is. Would like to see this man, his wife and son publicly flogged and then deported.
