Yaser Said murdered his daughters for having non-Muslim boyfriends. This horrifying case points up the reality that honor murder can happen even in Western countries.
Muslims commit 91 percent of honor killings worldwide. The Palestinian Authority gives pardons or suspended sentences for honor murders. Iraqi women have asked for tougher sentences for Islamic honor murderers, who get off lightly now. Syria in 2009 scrapped a law limiting the length of sentences for honor killings, but “the new law says a man can still benefit from extenuating circumstances in crimes of passion or honour ‘provided he serves a prison term of no less than two years in the case of killing.’” And in 2003 the Jordanian Parliament voted down on Islamic grounds a provision designed to stiffen penalties for honor killings. Al-Jazeera reported that “Islamists and conservatives said the laws violated religious traditions and would destroy families and values.”
Until the encouragement Islamic law gives to honor killing is acknowledged and confronted, more women will suffer.
“Yaser Said, Taxi Driver Accused of Killing His Teen Daughters in 2008, Caught in North Texas,” by Frank Heinz, NBCDFW, August 26, 2020:
…Yaser Abdel Said, a Lewisville cab driver wanted in connection with brutal slayings of his two teenage daughters, is in custody in North Texas after 12 years on the run.
According to the FBI, Said, who was considered armed and dangerous and known to carry a weapon while driving his cab, was apprehended Wednesday in Justin without incident by agents from the FBI’s Dallas Field Office.
The FBI said Said is currently in federal custody and will soon be transferred to Dallas County. According to the FBI, a $100,000 reward was being offered for his capture. It’s not clear how agents knew where to find Said or if someone was eligible to claim the reward.
Said had been on the run since 2008 after police said he took his daughters, 18-year-old Amina and 17-year-old Sarah, to get something to eat on New Year’s Day. He put the girls in his taxicab and left their home in Lewisville for Irving where he allegedly shot them both as they sat in his cab.
The girls, who were both students at Lewisville High School, were reportedly shot multiple times….

Texas: Muslim who murdered his daughters in honor killing caught after 12 years on the run
………………
I just heard this news–so glad to hear it!
I had feared there would never be any justice for Amina and Sarah. Kudos to the FBI for all their hard work.
The Political Oracle says
Linda Sarsour and CAIR-Texas will come to his defence, because Linda stands for women’s sharia rights and will attempt to deny these beautiful young ladies their justice. Creeping sharia!
KBB says
Well, let’s stop the creeping crud. Sarsour and all members of CAIR, TX and everywhere, should be kicked out of the US.
Creeping Sharia Herbicide says

PRCS says
As a Muslim, betcha his run was abetted by other ‘slaves of Allah’. Will be great to see that exposed if so.

He’s already had two relatives arrested for harboring him, PRCS.
PRCS says
Yes, true. I was thinking more along the lines of CAIR ‘reps’: like Nazis being protected in Argentina after WWII
Wonder if his wife turned him in..
gravenimage says
Also quite possible, PRCS.
His wife has said she is glad that he was apprehended (assuming she is telling the truth)–but it does not seem that she had anything to do with his being caught.
Roger Woodhouse says
Just anothe example of the muslim mentality.Brainwashed into this foul ideology from childhood his lack of love for his own offspring was evidenced by his total devotion to Islam and the ‘teachings’of the false prophet Mohammed.The very idea that somehow he was ‘ashamed’ of his daughters associating with non muslims and faced ‘disgrace’ by his fellow deviants is a frightening glimps into what awaits us here in the West when Islam becpmes dominant.

Really Good news. Justice is still a long way.

Justice never fails

Really????

I know. It may take a long, long, long, very long time sometimes, but it never fails.

Sadly, justice fails pretty often–especially when it comes to Islam. But it looks like there may finally be some justice here, and that is a very good thing.

Kudos to the FBI for all their hard work.
…………………………..
I agree, it is good news that this individual has been captured. As for justice, that is yet to be determined.
Now, the part played by the FBI, hard work? Maybe it’s as simple as “follow the money.”
On another issue regarding the FBI.
What has the FBI done when it comes to infiltrating BLM and Antifa? Why haven’t they identified anyone who is helping to organize these riots? Have they made arrests of any significance?
Opps, my bad, what a foolish thought, not while Donald Trump is POTUS. That would be contrary to the FBI’s agenda to take Donald Trump and those around him down. And, it would be counter-productive to the agenda of the “global elite.”
Oh well, I’ll think about it tomorrow.
gravenimage says
curious george, I was *not* implying that everything the FBI has done is good, nor that they are always tough on Jihad and other important matters–sadly, I well know that this is hardly the case.
But I do know that this agent has been dogged in his search for Said–and I just wanted to applaud his work and that of his colleagues in this one case–I don’t think this is out of place here.
curious george says
gravenimage,
I did a poor job of communicating my thoughts, please accept my apology.
I am aware that you were giving credit where credit is due, to the individuals who stayed on the case and brought it to a successful conclusion.

Trump is not supposed to override the governors, according to the Constitution. When he did something about it, all of the liberals said it was too mean. Enjoy your governor and city officials.
Donna harrison says
I saw the documentary on this, an it was just awful. The boy in the middle is broken for life. HIS mother loved Amina. She puts flowers on her grave regularly. That amazing mom loved Amina more than her own mother. Just awful. Thank God she had some kind of mom in her short 17yrs. The parents just went back, he hid an she helped. She didn’t care at all those girls are dead. She should be in jail too. Beautiful girls, gone for NOTHING.. RIP beautiful angels..

Good to hear that someone cared about these poor girls, Donna–their parents certainly did not.

How could he not be nabbed so close to here for so long? I thought he’d run back to Egypt.

Doug, he either came back or he never actually left–there is no record of his fleeing back to Egypt (although he was an obvious flight risk). There were also reports of his driving a cab elsewhere in the US. I’m sure more of the story will out.
Walter Sieruk says
That murderous fiend ,Yaser Said was only a biological father of his daughters , that vicious monster ,Said ,wasn’t a real father ,in spirit , to his daughter, this he had proven this his malicious heartless slaughter of his daughters.
Said may call his evil action an “honor killing” but that doesn’t change the fact that he committed two heinously wicked actions of cold blooded murder.
That murderer ,Said , if he actually feels that he did the “right thing” killing his helpless daughters then that expose his religion ,which is Islam,has so demonically infected and infested his mind ,thoughts and “values” if that word may used in a extremely Islamic idea of the word values”
To put this another way if he really thinks that he “in the right ” when he committed those murders ,this exposes the demonic delusional influence this false religion can have on some its followers. So much so that Said views his evil actions as something that is “good”
It is written “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil…” in the Bible, Isaiah 5:20. [N.K.J.V.]
Of course of Said really deluded ,because of his religion, that in no way excuses his actions of evil and he should be executed for the two murders that he committed . This is also upheld in the Bible, Exodus 21:12. Romans 13:1-4.
There might be some good and decent but naive and uninformed Westerners who don’t know that heartless evil influence that Said’s demonic false religion can have on a man . Those same Westerners might in shock, stop and wonder and then ask How can Said be so unconscionably heinous as to literally murder his daughters ?”
The answer to that question is found in the Bible ,which informs its reader that there are some men who are so very callous and cruel because they have had “their own conscience seared with a hot iron…” First Timothy 4:2.
In this specific case that “hot Iron” is Islam.

All grimly true, Walter.

Beverly says
If they will kill their own children, what won’t they do?
PRCS says
Not just that they’ll kill their own family members, but the stupid fairy tale ‘faith’ that drives them to do so.
Cindy Ware says
If you are a Christian faith and they ask you and you tell them that you are they will cut your head off. They think Allah is the God that everybody should honor. In Sharia law you cannot listen to music or sing, you cannot go swimming, you cannot show your face as a woman, you cannot dance, you cannot drink oh, you cannot eat pork. A woman is treated like an old shoe she means nothing to a Muslim man whatsoever. They can have as many wives as they want and treat them how they want. they can have sex with their own children and marry a child at two years old and have sex with them at 7 years old. It is a disgusting I cannot call it a religion whatever it is
PRCS says
Thanks for your thoughts.
“I cannot call it a religion”
Well, here’s what it really is. A theocracy. Unlike a democracy, it’s a system of governance in which ‘divine’ law is THE law.
Remember: the goal of honest Muslims in the U.S.is to replace our representative democracy with ‘divine’ law.
Islamic law.

When you are told weekly that you are the finest of human beings simply because you show up at mosque to air out your sphincter, then what is forbidden to you?
somehistory says
Absolutely no honor in his actions; totally dishonorable and disgustingly evil.
His family members helped him lure the poor girls to their deaths and all should pay the ultimate price… Too bad it takes so long, even for Texas, to execute, but at least,, this moslim murderer, son of satan, has been caught. Long time coming.
The poor children just wanted to be “normal” teenagers. But the filthy islam doesn’t allow that. Anyone not understanding that has not been paying any attention. Perhaps when he goes to trial and the facts come out, more people in Texas will wake up to the Truth..
ayatrollah says
Islam gives you the right to kill your daughters for really any reason you choose.
But not in Texas you fucking asshole.

Can you imagine a Muslim on a U.S. Mars mission?
So much time to read Qur’an and plot the demise of the ‘infidel’ astronauts on the mission with him?
gravenimage says
The Emirates has a Mars mission, and plans on building a Mosque on Mars.
Of course, none of this is apt to get very far without the ‘filthy Infidels” help…
Their Mars probe was actually built by a consortium of US universities, including my alma mater UC Berkeley. This was launched last month by the Japanese. How this is actually a Muslim project no one has said.

That really would be ‘the farthest mosque’, eh?

Muslim, multimillionaire, Mohammad Shafia, murdered his three daughters and his first wife and pushed the car they were in, into the Rideau Canal in Kingston, Ontario on June 30, 2009, Shafia’s wife # 2 in their polygamous marriage, Tooba and his son, Hamed were also charged with murder.
While the investigation was going on Shafia stated to his wife and son:
“Whatever she in our way, she did. WE LOST OUR HONOUR. Even if they come back to life a hundred times, if I have a cleaver in my hand, I will cut her in pieces…..if we remain alive one night or one year, we have no tensions in our hearts, thinking that our daughter is in the arms of that boy, in the arms of this or that man. May the Devil shit on their graves! Is that what a daughter should be? Would a daughter be such a whore? ….Honourless girl!”
“I say to myself, you did well. Would they come back to life a hundred times, for you to do the same again. THAT IS HOW HURT I AM, Tooba, they betrayed us immensely. They violated us immensely. There can be no betrayal, treachery, no violation more than this. By God! It was all treason from beginning to end. They betrayed kindness, they betrayed our tradition, they betrayed everything”.
“There is nothing more valuable than our honour. I am telling your mother that be like a man as you have always been. I know it hurts. Don’t worry at all. Don’t regret or wish that this would have have happened or that would have have happened. I am telling you now and I was telling you before that whoever plays with my honour, my words are the same. There is no value of life without honour”.
“Even if they hoist me up onto the gallows……NOTHING IS MORE DEAR TO ME THAN MY HONOUR. Let’s leave our destiny to God and may God never make me, you or your mother honourless. I DON’T ACCEPT THIS DISHONOUR“.
In 2016 Shafia, his wife Tooba, and his son Hamed tried for a retrial. Layers for the three claims that the trial was “tainted by cultural prejudice”.
Justine Trudeau tells Canadians they should not use the word barbarians. He also tells Canadians “Islam is not incompatible with Western, secular democracy”.
OLD GUY says
Let’s hope that he is tried in front of a conservative judge who will not fold to the islamophobia claims coming from the left. How in the hell do you kill your own daughters? What Islam teaches is hate and violence even against your own family. We don’t need these islamic people in our neighborhoods, the more of these islamic migrants that enter our communities the more dangerous our neighborhoods will become.
J Morgan says
There is no reason for a Sharia believing Muslim to be in the USA or any other western nation except for one reason – Jihad. There are 57 Islamic nations they could otherwise live in *happily*. They could brutally murder their daughters and not even be charged with a crime.
Cornelius says
As Andrew Breitbart once said….politics in downstream from the culture/ This is my little contribution to raise cultural awareness about the honor killing of Amina and Sarah Said
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzAIfzw2ubg
(P.S. – Local Texas law-enforcement stubbornly refuses to characterize these murders as honor killings…political-correctness isn’t limited to blue states).

Cornelius–I’m glad you found this story. I was thinking of your wonderful song for Amina and Sarah when I first saw it yesterday.

Well done song.
The question @ 1:34 certainly needs to be answered.
And, good grief: can Sally Kohn really be that stupid?
Walter Sieruk says
That despicable fiend, Yaser, should be executed for murdering his daughters.
This leads to the subject of Capital Punishment those who go outside a protest against the state government using of the death penalty and holding up signs show the words printed on them “Thou shall not kill”, those four words which are the sixth commandment , Exodus 20:13. are taken form the AUTHORIZED KING JAMES VERSION translation of the Bible of the Ten Commandments . By and large the A.K.J.V.is a good translation yet not a perfect one.
For Jewish and Christian scholar who understand the original Hebrew which the Old Testament , some call it the “Older Testament “, of the Bible which was first written in Hebrew, the point the those scholars will inform all who are willing to listen that the word was “Murder”” and not “Kill” in the original Hebrew of which the First Old Testament was written
There is a vast different between those two words “Killing “and “murder “, for example a dictionary definition of the word “Murder” is “the unlawful and malicious act of killing another person.” In contrast “Killing is defined as “To put to death or to slay”
So the anti-capital punishment people who quote Exodus 20:13 in the A.K.J. V. might also look up that same specific verse in the NEW KING JAMES VERSION and see how it’s put right by reading “ You shall not murder” For in the very next chapter in Exodus 21:12 it reads “He who strikes man so that he dies shall surely be put to death.”
Further, in the New Testament the Bible reader in Roman 13:1-4 that not only are governmental law enforcement forces are ordained by God to hold back and stop the criminal and wicked activities by evil and dangerous men. This also this may extent to the criminal courts which h included punishment for the evil doer. If the Bible student examines more closely the specific verse number four he or she will discover that the scripture even refers to the government executor as type of minister of God to punish such men.
So that murderer Yaser Said in the light of the Bible, should be put to death.
In conclusion the people who use their constitutional right to speak out against capital punishment do and should have the right of freedom of speech and expression to let other know how they feel on the subject of capital punishment. Nevertheless they either don’t know or do know but couldn’t care less that they are misusing the Bible in quoting Exodus 20:13 out of context.
Some of the anti –capital punishment feel might feel real righteous and pious by quoting that single verse out of the whole Bible , still in spite of the “pious emotions” some of them might have ,they are still misusing the Bible.
In addition to all this , the Bible in is written “Whoever kills any man shall surely be put to death.” Leviticus 27:17 [N.K.J.V.]
abad says
Precisely whatever happened to prevention.
Don’t want your Moslem daughter to date a non-Moslem guy?
Then stay out of western countries. Period.
Shirley says
Anyone know if Amina’s boyfriend is still being hidden so Said doesn’t find & kill him also. I can’t remember his name. This truly was a very dad story. I’ll never forget the sound of her voice on the 911 recording right after they were shot. He should receive the same “punishment” as he called it.
