Muslim Father's Murderous Rampage Called a 'Religious Feud'

Here is today's most infuriating attempt to cover up Islamic violence. For the first time in recent memory, a female Muslim managed to defend herself from a murderous family member. One newspaper account, however, terms the incident a "religious feud" in an article with the obfuscated headline "Religion Blamed for Stabbing." (Here are two of many articles which only used neutral terms such as "domestic dispute" and "domestic situation." Many of the news reports did not hint Muslims were involved at all.) Consider the nature of this "feud":

A teenager told her parents of her intention to convert.

The father, a medical doctor, then attempted to stab her with a kitchen knife.

The mother tried to step in to protect her daughter, so the father murdered her instead.

The girl was heard screaming "Help me, help me, they're trying to kill me."

The girl had wounds down her arm, across her back, and her clothes had been ripped off when she fled the apartment.

After the incident neighbors tried to comfort the sobbing girl who confirmed contemporaneously that her father flew into a rage when said she intended to convert.

The father was hospitalized with a stab wound in the chest.

A Muslim source justified the murder, saying that converting is "totally unacceptable," that "many would react as he has done" and that "It is the Islamic way that if a son or daughter does or plans to do something that is unacceptable or wrong for a Muslim then it is the mother who is automatically at fault and will bear the brunt of the blame"

"Honor killings" are commonpace in the Muslim World, but not in mainstream news sources. According to normative Islam, converts from Islam are subject to death. Many such converts report extensive death threats and the need to go into hiding because of fatal attacks. I know there are critical readers thinking "how could a convert report a fatal attack?" Zachariah Anani, a former terrorist who will be speaking at an absolute must-see event in New York tomorrow, reported being pronounced officially dead for a period of 7 minutes before recovering consciousness after one of the many attempts on his life. Mr. Anani's co-presenter, Walid Shoebat, a man in hiding because of his innumerable post-conversion death threats, offers an account of an unusually depraved honor killing:

He described how one night a man announced to his neighbors that he would "cleanse the honor of his family" by killing his wife in public. Many people arrived at the appointed time to witness the murder. He related how his friends were giggling in school the next day as they related the details of her decapitation, including how the head was only connected to the body by a small strip of skin. After the Israelis arrested the man, his entire community contributed to a fund to bail him out of prison.

Here are the details of today's honor killing in Australia:

Religion Blamed for Stabbing

A RELIGIOUS feud between a Muslim father and his teenage daughter may have sparked a bloody domestic dispute on the Gold Coast which left the man?s wife dead and him fighting for life in hospital.

Police are investigating suggestions the violence erupted after the 17-year-old girl told her father she wanted to opt out of the Islamic faith and convert to Christianity. The girl?s mother is believed to have stepped in to protect her daughter, only to be fatally stabbed with a kitchen knife.

Neighbours reported hearing ?blood-curdling? screams before the hysterical girl ran half-naked from their Southport home unit covered in scratches.

Police later found the body of the girl?s mother, 41, inside the blood-smeared unit. Her husband was taken to the Gold Coast Hospital with a stab wound to the chest. He was last night in a critical condition under police guard.

Neighbour Caitlin Dalton was taking out the rubbish about 7pm on Monday when she heard ?loud, huge, terrifying screams? coming from the unit complex.

?She (the teenager) was yelling, ?Help me, help me, they?re trying to kill me?,? Ms Dalton said. ?Everybody heard the screams but we couldn?t work out which unit they were coming from. Then this girl emerged in the stairwell hysterical and crying.

?Her clothes had been ripped off, she was just in her underwear and she had quite severe scratches down her arm and across her back."

As usual, "police were unsure of the motive."

The US Newswire page you link to lists Walid Shoebat as "Former Israeli terrorist." He is not Israeli at all. He was born in the West Bank during the Jordanian occupation and is considered Palestinian. The phrase "Israeli terrorist" is an oxymoron.

Technically, you are certainly correct, but I assume that this is simply unclear and not bias. When I reported on hs speech in Princeton, Mr. Shoebat freely admitted he bombed a Bank HaPoalim and participated in the lynching of an Israeli soldier, nearly beating him to death with a nail studded club.

B"H
WANT TO SAVE ISRAEL IMMEDIATELY!!! Well then here is what we have to do. We need to organize the violent feelings in the youth of the Jews today and direct them towards the enemy. Starting in america, start small then move over to Israel with an army in the tens of thousands. I started a blog recently, you may not be able to see it just yet. I want to build it up in amerca, and any donations go directly to this cause. Every Jewish home should have a gun is another of our policies. NOONE will help us, we must learn this. We have to help ourselves. Please visit my website and leave a post or two. Tell your friends. Absolutely no donations necessary. Thank you! jewish-power.blogspot.com/

People in West are na?ve. They do not understand the true nature of Islam and are driven by so called respect all religion folks who have no clue about Islam or the treacherous nature of Muslims as a race

1. Whether you admit it or not, Islam is a ?Religion which teaches people to be brutal and Fanatics? and since its inception, these hard core religious zealots have not done ?Any thing? to reform it with changing times.
2. Muslims are by nature, barbaric people, who will behead innocent people, men, women and children in front of a TV with calls for Allah O Akbar.
3. Britain has a big Muslim population which is as radical as their brethren elsewhere and time is not far when they will have enough numbers to topple British Government and rule in certain sections of Britain only on their own.
4. Once this happens, they would start demanding more powers like selective implementation of Shariat in the areas ruled by them.
5. Having achieved this, they will demand independence from Britain and ask for a Muslim homeland in the middle of England.
6. They will start riots and do ethnic cleansing of Christians, Jews and other minorities.

This is not out of any fiction book. History is a witness, where ever Muslims are in a majority or even reach a critical mass (say 25% of the population), they start demanding a separate state for themselves.

So Called liberals, humanists need to wake up and understand that they need to fight back, they need to reclaim Britain from Islam before it is all lost.

You need to starve them economically, need to stop further immigration from Africa, Middle East and Asia and deal firmly with all criminals and terrorists without any let up due to some excesses which might happen due to heavy police action.

You need to gather people and update them about this impending disaster before they come and destroy your way of living, society and a great country.
