The wife of a Muslim man on trial for murder testified in court that her husband killed his son-in-law out of a sense of obligation to Islam.
In other words: It was an honor killing.
Shmou Albrawabdeh said in court that her husband, Ali Mahwood-Awad Irsan, snuck into his son-in-law’s Texas apartment in 2012 and fatally shot him because of his Christian beliefs.
NBC 5 has more:
The wife of a Jordanian-born man on trial for capital murder says her husband sneaked into their son-in-law’s Texas apartment before fatally shooting him in 2012.
The Houston Chronicle reports that 40-year-old Shmou Alrawabdeh testified Wednesday as part of a plea bargain to reduce her charges in the slaying of Coty Beavers. Her husband is also accused of killing Iranian women’s rights activist Gelareh Bagherzadeh, who encouraged their daughter to marry Beavers.
Alrawabdeh told the jury her husband, Ali Mahwood-Awad Irsan, slipped into Beavers’ unlocked apartment near Houston and shot him after their daughter left for work.
She says her husband, a conservative Muslim, believed the only way to recover his honor was to kill the Christian man his daughter ran away to marry.
Irsan’s lawyers deny the allegations.
Irsan could face the death penalty if convicted.

“a conservative Muslim”
In other words, not so PC: a ticking time bomb.
Aren’t they all?
Some take more prodding to blow, some take less.
But all are primed.
Many Muslims are more far-right than neo-Nazi groups (who at least do not use suicide bombing or beheading tactics, as far as I am aware), yet the left still fawns over the religion as if it is the most beautiful thing ever invented.
The left only “fawns” over it because it is against Christianity and Judaism.
Many young leftists seem to believe they grow up in “repressed” Christian families, therefore they feel that supporting Islam is just one more way of sticking the finger to Christianity. I kind of understand their mentality, but it feels very teenagerish and immature.
Yes, true. How foolish they really are.
He badly needs to be put down like a rabid dog. What use to society would this deeply flawed machine ever be?
Even if he received a life sentence He would be a constant danger to other prisoners with his hate filled ideology that spreads in prisons like a malignant cancer.
DEATH IS THE ONLY ANSWER!
Right!
Islam is the Devil’s seed, wherever they are allowed to take root death will follow…
Who hates christians and jews, as much as muslims do?
Their spiritual daddy, Satan…
Your absolutely right! So who would satan want, to help him exterminate the christians and jews around the world, during the tribulation (Since satan will be human, and won’t be able to be in more than one place at a time)?
Those awful pests of christians and jews, will NOT take satan’s mark, so it is told in our holy book, the bible, that those, who do not take his mark, will be exterminated. Rev 20:4 tells how. A hint? It’s in the koran too, as “strike the necks”.
Let him fry and the heat will be excellent preparation for when he meets the pedophile mass-murdering prophet in Hell and all the other Islamic mass-murderers. He will be presented with 72 Eunuchs.
Reminds me of the joke I stole from someone (sooorrrryyy!). But it’s so dang funny!
“Abu al-Zarqawi died, George Washington met him at the Pearly Gates. He slapped him across the face and yelled, “How dare you try to destroy the nation I helped conceive!”
Patrick Henry approached, punched him in the nose and shouted, “You wanted to end our liberties but you failed!”
James Madison followed, kicked him in the groin and said, “This is why I allowed our government to provide for the common defense!”
Thomas Jefferson was next, beat al-Zarqawi with a long cane and snarled “It was Evil men like you who inspired me to write the Declaration of Independence.”
The beatings and thrashings continued as George Mason, James Monroe and 66 other early Americans unleashed their anger on the terrorist Leader.
As al-Zarqawi lay bleeding and in pain, an Angel appeared. Al-Zarqawi wept and said, “This is not what you promised me.” The Angel replied, “I told you there would be 72 Virginians waiting for you in Heaven. What did you think I said?”
An honest Muslim.
Oxymoron!
Islam is the Devil’s seed, wherever they are allowed to take root death will follow…
“conservative Muslim”
***
Anyone using the adjective ‘conservative’ with respect to a Muslim has been drinking the Kool-Aid too long.
Do you ever see ‘conservative’ Leftist? ‘conservative’ Communist? ‘conservative’ Socialist? Or ‘conservative’ Criminal?
When you do see ‘conservative’ Democrat, ‘conservative’ Hispanic, or ‘conservative’ black, woman, or other minority type – it is always in reference to someone with their head screwed on straight. It is never used for a murderer.
Only Leftists use ‘conservative’ to describe – well – Leftists, criminals, the violent, the crazy, or Muslims.
“Conservative” the lie the enemedia likes to push, because Pat Robertson et. al. are just like the muslums! What it really comes down to is that it’s an extension of the old atheist lie that Christianity is just as bad as islum.
Thank you. I always call attention to the use of “conservative” in the context of Islam. What they mean is “repressive” or in the case of a Muslim like this one, simply, “faithful.” I believe also it is a deliberate effort among leftists in media and politics and even among some former Muslims to link conservatism falsely with violence and oppression.
Yes, ‘repressive’ is a better word.
Yes, ‘repressive’ is a better word.
No loss here. Obviously Coty Beavers was a loser and an idiot for marrying a Muslima in the first place. Darwin award?
It sounds to me that she tried to escape the ideology of evil and Coty Beavers deserves credit for helping her. The only thing I can criticise Coty for is his lack of security seeing as he has a mad muzrat as a father in law. I would of invested in a pit bull bought a reliable pistol and made sure my door was locked and muzrat proof.
If I ever see an opportunity of leading a muslim away from the ideology of hate then I would as a Christian do my best.
DEATH TO ISLAM!
I’ve encountered “Christians”, both men and women, who marry Muslims, and they do so NOT out of Christian desire to somehow save or help the Muslims, but rather out of respect and admiration of Islam. I would bet anything that if you were to have a chat with Coty, you would find that he embraced, or at the very least, was sympathetic to the Obama-Islamo-Arab worldview. I base this not on speculation, but on actually encountering these individuals.
But, YES, DEATH TO ISLAM!
If he was sympathetic to the ideology of hate then I’m sure he would have converted.
Many muslims that are born into islam have nothing but disgust for it but to speak out and leave can mean a death sentence or at the very least a beating and then being shunned by their families. Some of our best critics of islam are Apostates. They are brave and relentless in their criticism and I encourage all muslims to shake off the shackles.
The daughter no doubt thought she’d escaped.
Hope the authorities do the right thing and kill the bastard.
DEATH TO ISLAM!
Please PLEASE give this cuck the Death penalty!!!
has this thing been released on bail? in one photo he’s in an orange jumpsuit, but in the other, he’s wearing street clothes? did they award this animal bail??!?
Can a murderer get bail in USA?
They can’t in the UK so would be surprised if it’s any different.
DEATH TO THE INFIDEL!
yes, sometimes bail is available for murder, but it’s very high
death to Islam!
Well I don’t know if this muzrat is rich but I would guess that he’s not so he wouldn’t be on bail.
In the UK you can still appear in court from jail and still wear your own clothes and don’t have to wear jail attire but it may be different over there in the USA.
As if Islam has any sense of real “honor”.
They call it honor but it would be better described as pure Spite.
He like all muzrats sees his daughter as his private property and had designs to marry her off to some other muzrat.
PROSCRIBE ISLAM!
Well, look at him now. All filled with all that ‘honor.’ Maybe he can trade some of that ‘honor’ in prison for some pork rinds. Fu*k him!
Next headline – Ali Mahwood-Awad Irsan was found shot to death in his jail cell for his Moslem beliefs. The bullet used was the size of brick, says police.
I’m surprised the Muslum didn’t kill his daughter. That would be the usual reaction.
Too true. I would have expected him to have murdered them both.
He already had her sold to her uncle. Couldn’t really murder her.
She would have been #3.
You know?..I believe the father wanted to have intercourse with the daughter, which is why He was Jealous of Beaver. That and the fact the son in laws last name was beaver .
No way in hell is his daughter gonna go through life with the last name Beaver.
That’s too funny…but I can’t laugh, dang it.
Islam is evil,how can there be honor in evil ?
Who hates christians, and jews, as much as muslims do?
The devil himself
Exactly right. Which is why satan needs THEM, to exterminate the christians, jews, and others, during the tribulation. He needs to move them, in mass, to all these non-muslim countries, to do his dirty work. As a physical person, he (satan), won’t be able to be in more than one place at a time, so how can he get all those christians, and jews exterminated, because they wont take his mark? Immigrate thousands of his followers, all around the world. Rev 20:4 tells us how HOW the killing is done, but here’s a hint, it’s the koran too, as “strike the necks”.
Yep. All true.
humanists,atheists,the self called elite. Back when Obama was 1st elected, the left was giddy with.excitement. One of the things I heard with my ear pressed to the ground was ” when does the killing start ?” Followed by the answer, ” when we`re strong enough “.Everyone who believes themselves to be gods, may at this time not go out & shoot up a church, etc. But, how many of them rush to condemn such violence by moslems ? Illegal immigrants diseased kids get more press than a moslem shooting up the street. Heck, they wont even say he was a moslem.
More proof if any were needed that Islam gives its followers the right and justification to murder people of other faiths. So much for the ROP!
dont let them in and kick those who are in…out.
A”conservative Muslim” is a faithful and true Muslim just doing what his crazy prophet commands all Muslims to do.
The day is going to come when street justice will be first and foremost and will ultimately prevail against evil such as this.
Nice dream, keep on dreamin!
That aint no damn dreaming on my part. That day IS coming I’m sure.
Alrighty then.
We follow U.S. law in America, not Shariah. Under U.S. law it is a clear case of 1st Degree murder and the killer has no regret because he thinks he has a right to do it. He should be found guilty and the rightful penalty is the maximum, that is death! If Muslims do not like this, they are free to move back to the country they came from, otherwise accept it!
