It’s official, Muslims are exempt from the death penalty on account of political correctness.
In October, 20-year old Noor Almaleki of Arizona was subject to an “honor-killing” by her father for becoming “too Westernized.” In other words, she lived with her boyfriend. (He also killed the boyfriend’s mother.) Now, I know what you’re thinking…it’s just a coincidence that a Muslim man killed his daughter, right? Okay you probably weren’t thinking that. In case there was any doubt, however, he said quite clearly in court that “it was an intentional act and the reason was that his daughter had brought shame on him and his family.” Sheesh, what ever happened to the days of sending your kids to their room; not, running them over with a Jeep.
Fast forward four months to now and we see that because the county attorney happens to be a Christian, apparently it can’t look like “a Christian is seeking to execute a Muslim for racial, political, or cultural beliefs.” There isn’t a delicate way to put this, except for I don’t care about your religion. If you commit two counts of first degree murder, not to mention a handful of other smaller charges, do the time whether you’re a Muslim, an atheist or a Buddhist (not a very good Buddhist most likely.) Oh wait, this doesn’t apply to religions because Muslims are the only scumbags who believe it’s ‘proper’ to execute your family for bordering on being an ‘infidel.’ This is the kind of ‘law and order’ that you want to bring to the West? Stay home and do your honor killings there.
You are nothing but an ignorant racist.
1) Islam is not a race; so, you’re an idiot.
2) If killing is an inherent aspect of their religion, then I think it should be banned. If it ISN’T a part of their religion and this incident is a one-off, then why are we afraid to punish the guy?
tom j is right – you are nothing but a pathetic bigot who gets off on demeaning others. how can you stereotype and call an entire religion murderous. don’t be surprised if you hear from the chrc soon.
Yes you caught me “anonymous;” well done. I don’t “get off” demeaning others, although I do quite enjoy being alive. No matter which way you slice it, Islamization of the West has done far more harm than good, and I don’t think that people should get a “Politically Correct” logo tattooed on their foreheads and surrender their opinion in the name of appeasing the radicals.
Tom, as much as I’m sure Andrew enjoys the flame wars, at least put in five seconds of Teh Google to go after the whole law & order angle in this brief.
Anonymous, well done. Way to skip right past the point Andrew was making and B-line straight to “you’re a racist/bigot/nazi/fascist/skinhead” without addressing the subject matter in the slightest. That will show him who’s boss!
Murder is murder. Simple as that. Can you at least acknowledge this much? I’ll hold my breath … for all of five seconds before you drop the name-calling on me for daring to oppose you.
“Oh wait, this doesn’t apply to religions because Muslims are the only scumbags who believe it’s ‘proper’ to execute your family for bordering on being an ‘infidel.’ This is the kind of ‘law and order’ that you want to bring to the West? Stay home and do your honor killings there.”
Pretty sure you’re sparking up some hate their Andrew, you know who I am so I’m not going to hide it but look at what you’re saying. I’m an immigrant Muslim, honour killings are not in Islam they are cultural, please separate the two of them before making blatant assumption. So as a Muslim I don’t believe it’s proper to execute a family member because they are bordering on becoming an infidel and no this isn’t even a form of law and order, I have no idea where you’re pulling these facts out but please keep your religious hatred away from the core of the argument.
What you argument should have been is that honour killings have no place in Western society and for that matter the world. Honour killings should have become a thing of the past a couple centuries back at the least! Keep in mind you can never say Muslims this, Muslims that, surprisingly the large majority of Muslims (A rather significant amount) despise the concept of honour killings, would you like me to start comparing all Christians to some extreme right Christian group.
This was one of the last things I expected from you Andrew, really it appalls me that you could spew such shit. There is a level of tolerance which is accepted in western society and hate has no place in it, please remember that a calm mind and not one riddled in hate will be the continuation of peace in Western Society. So what if an honour killing was committed, I share your enthusiasm in stating that he should have the death penalty right away, first degree murder has no place in our society of course, but please don’t broaden this to all Muslims.

I’ll go you one better Tom J. You are nothing but an ignorant. (don’t mind the poor grammar – this was done for affect. I claim artistic license in using bad grammar.

Sinan:
I appreciate your input and even sympathize with your position however, that won’t stop me from pointing out some inconsistencies.
For one thing, within your post you go from saying this is a cultural issue (agreed) to reverting back to claiming that Andrew is demeaning a religion and therefore, an entire group by his commentary. Shariah law, which is what we are being asked to accept and incorporate into our Western societies, sometimes overtly and sometimes by stealth as in this case Andrew references, is unique to the Muslim religion. One cannot have this conversation without pointing out that Honour killings are unique to Islam as they are part of Shariah law. Period. The only difference it makes in calling it a cultural issue versus a religious issue, is that those who do not like the legitimate criticism can claim abuse of their religion or and/or racism depending on what they think can end the conversation faster. Seems pretty arbitrary to me and the distinction seems to exist solely to give an advantage to one side only in this discussion and thereby ensure that no honest dialogue ever takes place.
While it may be that the vast majority of Muslims do not condone Shariah and do not want to see this militant form of Islamic justice incorporated into our legal systems in the west, the fact remains that Shariah is unique to Islam and therefore to Muslims. To ask Andrew to not mention Muslims when writing about this subject is akin to asking someone writing about World War II to not mention the fact that the majority of Nazi soldiers were German.
I have no quarrel with those who practice the Islamic faith in a manner that is consistent with our western ways but clearly there is a great rift here, whether viewed through the cultural, political or religious lens, when it comes to what we are told Muslims believe and what we see in practice and that is not our fault. I note that CAIR, whose mission is in part, to “enhance understanding of Islam, encourage dialogue, protect civil liberties, empower American Muslims, and build coalitions that promote justice”, has not come out and unequivocally denounced this man, denounced honour killings nor reprimanded this prosecutor for not treating this murderer like any other murderer. What are people to make of this silence on CAIR’s part?
Official Islam needs to speak out on these issues and when they don’t, I think the majority of us who prefer our culture to the Islamic culture, are perfectly within our rights to point out that this is a problem. We are angry about this and we are further angered by our politically correct politicians and elites, who refuse to stand up for our western values.
Instead of reprimanding us for the language we use when discussing these issues, you should be reprimanding the official Islamic spokespeople who do more to demean and harm your religion than me, Andrew or any other critic of radical Islam could possibly do.
Amen Mary Lou.
were the crusades good for the middle east?
remember witch hunts?
what religion did those?
Just to clarify, Islam is the religion that decides to kill everyone they disagree with right? Wait, it couldn’t be that there are 109 Koran verses promoting the murder of non-Muslims, could it?
racists…all of you
You deserve a medal Andrew for not being afraid to call them what they are…scumbags.
