Man Murders Daughter In Honor Killing

For the past few years, I’ve read of many troubling honor killings in Britain that have placed an undue burden on the legal system, as such conduct is not lawful in the United Kingdom and appropriately so. However, I’m not used to reading about them in America.

To kill one’s own, or anyone for that matter, over perceived offenses, should be heartbreaking and sad. How does one arrive at such a place that this becomes an option.

Faleh Hassan Almaleki, 48, deliberately ran over his daughter, Noora Almaleki, 20 and the mother of her boyfriend, in an honor killing, as he did not approve of her lifestyle in living with a boyfriend in America. His daughter died and the mother of her boyfriend is in serious condition at the hospital.

Almaleki, whose family has resided in America since 1994, stated his daughter is married to a man in Iraq and is living in sin with another man in the United States.

He blamed his daughter for “bringing shame” on his family by becoming Westernized, as she wore make-up, trendy clothes and no head covering.

Why live in a Western nation if you do not wish to become Westernized. I don’t get it. These cultural cases that turn criminal are becoming increasingly difficult for Westernized judicial systems to prosecute. The jury selection becomes complicated and cultural differences come into play.

However, as a general international rule, the law of the land where you lay is what applies. One cannot go into foreign territories and violate the law, then hope to apply the laws and legislative charters of one’s homeland. Ratified international treaties are the only exception, none of which grant allowances for murder.

I do not agree with adultery, but you don’t kill people for that. You talk to them in the hope they will change their ways, be reconciled with their spouse and gain God’s forgiveness. But then again, I’m a Christian. We see things differently from the Muslim religion.

FBI Puzzled At Black Men Joining Islam

U.S. President Barack Obama and FBI Director Robert S. Mueller

According to published reports, the FBI and U.S. government as a whole, are puzzled by the slight upswing in black-American men joining Islam, in spite of numerous terrorism raids.

Some black-American males are bitter regarding the racism and repression in the nation and Islam’s sell for said demographic is defeating "the white man."

However, this has taken many into dangerous territory that turned into crime. Not every white man is a racist and one does not overcome prejudice with prejudice (reverse racism).

Side Bar: if the FBI weren’t so racist, the situation wouldn’t have reached such incendiary levels.

Side Bar 2: And don’t say the agency does not have a problem with racism, as there are numerous lawsuits against the FBI, testifying to the internal and external racism problems.

Blacks still drawn to Islam despite FBI raids

By now, Sekou Jackson is used to the questions: Why does he need to leave a work meeting to pray? Don't black Muslims convert to Islam in jail? Why would you even want to be Muslim?

"It's kind of a double whammy to be African-American and Muslim," said Jackson, who studies the Navy at the National Academy of Science in Washington. "You're going to be judged."...

Terrorists Threatening Obama

Video: Al Qaeda boss releases new video - ITN NEWS

Al Qaeda has been actively threatening U.S. President Barack Obama again, stating "a Muslim nation" shall bring America down.

The terrorist group has also likened Obama to former U.S. president, George W. Bush, stating the newly elected Commander-in-Chief, is carrying on the policies of his predecessor, in the Middle East.

The U.S. government is spending an exorbitant amount of money waging wars in Middle Eastern regions that are unsustainable. It is going to greatly bankrupt this nation to greater degrees than it has already done.

There is a significant amount of anti-Americanism in the Middle East, among Muslims, as they've watched as Iraq, Afghanistan and parts of Pakistan, have been decimated by the U.S. military, on George W. Bush's instructions, for oil.

In a effort to help you understand why a region of 300,000,000 are angry with America, imagine your hometown was being bombed and architecturally destroyed on a regular basis, by foreign forces, in attacks that did kill criminals (terrorists), but also wiped out over one million civilian moms, dads, boys, girls, grandparents and babies. This is where this new strain of hatred is coming from in the Middle East.

The Middle East also needs to bear in mind, most American civilians do not want any of the wars being waged. Multitudes of Americans and Britons, one of the nation's allies, have vociferously protested against said wars, demanding the combat end.

However, the U.S. Congress has not listened to the wishes of the American people and here lays the problem.

Terrorism is ugly in every form it exists and terrorists should be brought to justice. However, wars with blanket combat, killing off more civilians than terrorists, cannot be the answer.

RPT-Qaeda's Zawahri attacks Obama, Arabs in new video

Wed Sep 23, 2009 9:14am EDT - DUBAI, Sept 23 (Reuters) - Al Qaeda's number two Ayman al-Zawahri appeared on Wednesday in a new video marking the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, attacking Arab leaders and Barack Obama for their policies on Israel...

"America has come with a new deceptive face ... It plants the same dagger as Bush and his predecessors did. Obama has resorted to the policies of his predecessors in lying and selling illusions," said Zawahri, clad in white robe and turban.

"America has got involved in many wars and lost them ... But this one isn't like others. You have become embroiled with the Islamic nation and its mujahideen, and the nation has begun to wake up," he said in his concluding remarks.

American Muslim convert Adam Gadahn appeared as well as Abu Yahya al-Libi, Mustafa Abul-Yazid and other al Qaeda figures in a production by al Qaeda media arm As-Sahab where they discussed events of the past year such as the financial crisis, fighting in Afghanistan and the election of U.S. President Barack Obama.

A major theme of the 106-minute production, titled "The West and the Dark Tunnel", is that al Qaeda's Sept. 11 attack on U.S. cities and the subsequent U.S. war on terror were behind U.S. and world financial troubles.

The video, in which a narrator speaks over clips of the al Qaeda figures and Western analysts taken from documentaries, discusses allegations of financial corruption inside the Saudi royal family and torture used by U.S. troops in Afghanistan...

Obama's Ramadan Dinner

Video: Obama Holds Ramadan Dinner - The Associated Press

When I read the title of the above posted clip, I thought it said "Obama Holds Ramada Dinner" as in the Ramada Hotel (grin).

However, it actually stated "Obama Holds Ramadan Dinner." Then I thought, "Oh snap, here come the 'Obama is a Muslim' rumors again."
