Beheading in New York Appears to Be Honor Killing, Experts Say
2009-02-18
Picked right up on that, didn't they?
What tipped ya off, Muldoon?
Well, Sarge, she's a Muslim and she's got no head...

Come Muldoon, didn't you receive your mandatory sensitivity training?

#15   The husband, Muzzammil, is still maintaining he didn't do it as of late yesterday.

Oddly enough, it seems that when he wandered into the Orchard Park police station to report his wife's death, he admitted to killing her. Insisting now that he's innocent is not likely to convince a jury in Orchard Park, although it might have in Lackawanna.

Thanks for the report, 49 Pan.

Omolugum Prince of the Platypi2692, where did you read/see that?

#14  NY does not have the death penalty. He will get 3 hots and a cot for the rest of his life at our expense.

Now here in Texas when that guy "honor" killed his two daughters, he went straight to the airport for Egypt.

Texas has the death penalty.

#10  I notice a significant absence of 'Honor Suicide' over these types of issues. I guess seppuku by the family patriarch hasn't really caught on in their culture.

#9  "Honor killing", like "ethnic cleansing", is a repulsive euphemism. We should not let our enemies provide our vocabulary to describe their monstrous acts.

#8  Well, at least he's reclaimed his honor now. /sarc

#7  I'm not clear on all the details, he's what I've gathered....so he's at home yelling at his wife who's on the phone with her sister, telling him to calm down and then he chokes and beheads her and brings her corpse to the Bridges offices and displays her body in a ritual way? Anyone else have the details?

#6  Muzzammil is another Muslim that misinterpreted what he learned at the mosque.

#5  The report is straight forward reporting. It said she had a protection order against him and they had family voinence issues. A second report focused on how difficult it is for Muslim women to divorce. It said the idea for the TV station "Bridge" was her idea. It's reported as a murder.

#4  Â“Chesler called on U.S. and Canadian immigration authorities to inform potential Muslim immigrants and new Muslim citizens that it's illegal to abuse women in the two countries.”

Oh yeahÂ…Muzzammil one last thing before we approve your visa, we need you to read this here pamphlet on domestic abuse. Long story short, you canÂ’t be slapping around the wife and kiddies anymore. And you may want to pay special attention to the section on Acid baths and Beheadings. Ok thenÂ…sign hereÂ…

#3  This "honor" stuff gets me. Bloody murder is a bloody murder, no matter how you slice it.

#2  What does CNN International think about this, 49 Pan?

#1  I'm not sure what coverage this is getting in the US, but here in the UAE it is being reported by CNN hourly.
