“Religion of Peace” Shocker: Yet Another Muslim Honor Killing in America
By Debbie Schlussel
You knew this was coming, as it’s happened–and been hushed by the mainstream media–so many times before. This will only happen with more and more frequency as more and more Muslims come into America and we kowtow to them more and more.
Religion of Honor Killings:
Pakistani Man Accused of Fatally Strangling His Daughter in Apparent ‘Honor Killing’
A Georgia father of Pakistani descent allegedly strangled his 25-year-old daughter because she wanted to get out of an arranged marriage to a man she had not seen in months, according to police in Clayton County, Ga.
Chaudhry Rashid, 56, was scheduled to be arraigned today on a murder charge. Rashid was arrested early Sunday morning at his family’s house after police responded to a domestic disturbance call and found his daughter, Sandeela Kanwal, dead in an upstairs bedroom.
The Clayton County Medical Examiner confirmed that Kanwal died of strangulation. Police recovered an iron by the young woman’s bedroom doorway and a necklace on a family room table that may have been used in the killing, according to a Clayton County police report.
Authorities allege that Rashid killed his daughter because he feared that her resistance to a recently arranged marriage would disgrace the Pakistani-American family.
“She was very unhappy with the marriage, had not seen the husband in three months and was seeking a divorce,” Timothy Owens, a spokesman for the Clayton County Police Department, told ABC News. “The father felt like the he had to uphold his family’s honor.”
Gina Rashid, identified as Chaudhry’s 49-year-old wife and Kanwal’s mother, called 911 at 1:59 a.m. Sunday after she heard screaming and fled the house. She told authorities that her daughter may have been dead in an upstairs bedroom, according to the Clayton County police report. . . .
An officer who arrived at the scene sat with Rashid as police entered the house and cleared the downstairs rooms, according to police. Upstairs, Locates turned a corner and saw Kanwal’s body from the waist down in a bedroom at the end of the hall. Her bare feet and hands were gray and cold and she had blood coming from her left nostril, according to the police report. Locates quickly determined that Kanwal, an employee at a local Wal-Mart, was dead. . . .
Arranged marriages remain so common in some cultures that the British government created a Forced Marriage Unit to help rescue young British women who have been forced to wed. The British office fields 4,000 calls each year, about two-thirds of which are Pakistani, according to a June report in The Washington Post.
M. Siddique, director of the Pakistani American Community of Atlanta, did not immediately return a phone call from ABC News for comment. Shahid Malik, a member of the organization, told ABC News’ Atlanta affiliate WSB-TV that the young woman and father were both suffering from depression.
Strange, how Islam has so much more “depression” on average than any other religion in America. Nice epithet for Islamic bloodlust, though.
If guilty, hang ’em high!!!
