Noor al-Maleki's murdering father will escape the death penalty

Have Muslims been exempted from the death penalty in the United States?

It appears even America is not immune to the disease of dhimmitude and cultural cringe towards Islam, a phenomenon that is infecting judiciaries all over the Western world:

Glendale [Arizona] man accused of slaying his daughter in an “honour killing” will not face the death penalty.

After sparring with the suspect’s defence attorney over its death penalty review process, the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office has said it will not seek death for Faleh Almaleki, 49.

The Iraqi immigrant is accused of slaying his daughter, 20-year-old Noor Almaleki, for being “too Westernised.”

Police say he used his Jeep Cherokee to run down his daughter and another woman in a Peoria parking lot Oct. 20. Noor Almaleki later died of her injuries. Read the rest of this entry »

The shame of Islam: over 200 so-called 'honour killings are committed in EU-candidate Turkey every year

More human development excellence from Moderate, Secular Turkey™. We really don’t know why the EU just doesn’t drop all formalities and let them in immediately:

The father and grandfather of a 16-year-old Turkish girl will face trial for burying her alive because she had developed friendships with boys.

The body of Medine Memi was found in a sitting position with her hands tied in a 6ft hole dug underneath a chicken coop outside her family’s home in Kahta, south eastern Turkey, 40 days after she had been reported missing.

According to a post mortem examination, a large amount of soil in her lungs and stomach revealed that she had been buried while conscious and suffered a slow and agonising death. Read the rest of this entry »

The Price of Sharia: What kind of 'law' permits this savagery?

Memo to long time Islamic finance fan Gordon Brown: you can’t pick and chose with Sharia:

A 13-year-old Saudi schoolgirl is to be given 90 lashes in front of her classmates after she was caught with a mobile camera phone.The girl, who has not been named, was also sentenced to two months in jail by a court in the eastern city of Jubail.

She had assaulted her headmistress after being caught with the gadget which is banned in girl schools, said Al-Watan, a Saudi newspaper. The kingdom’s use of such punishments has been widely condemned by human rights organisations. Three years ago 16 schoolchildren, aged between 12 and 18, were each sentenced to between 300 and 500 lashes for being aggressive to a teacher.

Under Saudi’s Sharia or Islamic law, flogging is mandatory for a number of moral offences such as adultery or being alone in the company of an unrelated person of the opposite sex. But it can also be used at the discretion of judges as an alternative or in addition to other punishments. Read the rest of this entry »

Women in Cairo protesting, demanding legislation against sexual harassment

Are women beginning to assert themselves in Islamic societies? Perhaps.

CAIRO – The sexual harassment of women in the streets, schools and work places of the Arab world is driving them to cover up and confine themselves to their homes, said activists at the first-ever regional conference addressing the once taboo topic.

Activists from 17 countries across the region met in Cairo for a two-day conference ending Monday and concluded that harassment was unchecked across the region because laws don’t punish it, women don’t report it and the authorities ignore it.

The harassment, including groping and verbal abuse, is a daily experience women in the region face and makes them wary of going into public spaces, whether it’s the streets or jobs, the participants said. It happens regardless of what women are wearing. Read the rest of this entry »

Savagery comes to Europe: Ghazala Khan was killed by her brother publicly in Denmark in 2005

Although, as ever, which type of fundamentalism rarely features in the headlines. Thanks to New Labour, its onslaught of PC-speak legislation and attendant horde of multiculturalists and moral relativists:

Diana Nammi of the Iranian and Kurdish Womens Rights Organisation has blamed the rise in fundamentalism for the increase in violence

Police have seen ‘honour’ crime surge by 40 per cent due to rising fundamentalism, new figures show.

Honour-based violence, including crimes like murder, rape and kidnap has rocketed in London during the past year. Read the rest of this entry »

Public Spectacle: al-Shabaab savages directing ghoulish execution 'audience'

The logical extension of Islamic Sharia society:

A Somali adulterer has been stoned to death by Islamic fundamentalists, a fate awaiting his lover once she gives birth, an official says.

The BBC reported Friday Abas Hussein Abdirahman, 33, was killed in front of about 300 people in Merca, Somalia. Al-Shabaab official Sheikh Sultan Aala Mohamed said Abdirahman had admitted his guilt before an Islamic court before his execution.

“He was screaming and blood was pouring from his head during the stoning. After 7 minutes he stopped moving,” a witness told the BBC. Read the rest of this entry »

Feeling the love of Islamism: Children wade through the ruins of their Swat Valley school, blown up by the Taliban in January

ISLAMABAD: Federal Interior Minister Rehman Malik said Taliban have torched 473 educational institutions in Malakand division and FATA [Federally-Administered Tribal Areas].

In a statement, interior minister said that Taliban want to destabilize and defame Pakistan. They torched 409 educational institutions in Malakand division and 64 in FATA.

Malik said Taliban are enemies of Islam and Pakistan and professional killers. Militancy and terrorism will be eliminated from the roots, he added.

What this short report fails to mention is that those schools are overwhelmingly girls’ schools. Islam (and particularly the Taliban) doesn’t like its females to be educated for some reason.

Frankly, we’re scratching our heads as to why that could be…

Aseel al-Awadhi and Rola Dashti (2nd & 3rd left), celebrate their election, May 2009

The MPs, who were among the first four women to be elected to the country’s National Assembly in May, have angered their Islamist colleagues, who say they say they are flouting sharia, or Islamic law.

One of the two is going further by demanding the scrapping of an amendment to electoral regulations that says they have to observe sharia in parliament.

“You can’t force a woman going to the mall to wear a hijab and you can’t force a woman going to work to wear the hijab,” the MP, Rola Dashti, told The Daily Telegraph. “This is not Iran or Saudi Arabia.” Read the rest of this entry »

Shah Jalal Mosque, Burnley, under construction: parts of Britain are beginning to resemble parts of Pakistan or Bangladesh - in behaviour as well as appearance

Guess the religion…

A man dragged his daughter into the house by the hair, threatened her and hit her after she said she was moving in with her boyfriend, a court heard.
