Honor Killing in Germany After Police Slip-Up

10 Year Old Tortured and Murdered by her father for looking at a boy

A 19-year old girl was strangled to death by her father in an honor killing in Germany after police informed him by letter she had been caught shoplifting condoms.

Asadullah Khan, 51, strangled his daughter Lareeb while she slept in the family home. He and his wife, Shazia Khan, then dressed Lareeb in her work clothes as a dental assistant and put her body in their car and discarded it in a nearby forest.

The pair is being charged with murder.

Asadullah Khan admitted the killing and told the court that his daughter had brought dishonor on the family by forming a relationship with a boyfriend he did not approve of. He wanted her to have an arranged marriage with someone from Pakistan.

“'Lareeb stayed away from the home for several nights in a row and stopped wearing the headscarf,” Shazia Khan, Lareeb's mother, told the court. “One day we received a letter from the police saying she had been caught trying to steal condoms. At this point it became clear that there was sexual contact. When I showed the letter to my husband he snapped.”

In the volatile world of Islam, it does not take much to cause a Muslim to 'snap'. The girl was 19 years old! She had every right to do what she wanted. Why did the police feel they needed to report the petty actions of a 19 year old to her parents? That makes no sense whatsoever.

With the flood of Muslim refugees entering Germany, one would think they should have some idea what Islam is about, but apparently not!

Shazia Khan claimed that she was a cowed and submissive wife who had been physically unable to restrain her husband and prevent the murder.

But Lareeb’s younger sister, Nida, 14, told the court that her mother was just as bad as her father and would beat the girls often.

“My Mama was not suppressed, she could do what she wanted. She used to hit me with a stick,” Nida said.

“We were never allowed to talk about her boyfriend. My father used to say my sister should be forcibly married in Pakistan.”

Honor violence campaigners in the UK harshly criticized the German police for their handling of the situation.

“German police did not acknowledge the risk of ‘honor’ killing to Lareeb when they told her family that she had been caught attempting to steal condoms” the Iranian and Kurdish Womens Rights Organization (IKWRO) said in a statement.

“We can only conclude that the police involved did not have a proper understanding of 'honour'-based violence and had not been sufficiently trained to know that providing this information to her parents could put her in greater danger. The German police must be held to account for their failures for true justice for Lareeb,” continued the statement.

Lareeb’s boyfriend Raheel, 25, told the court they had wanted to get married.

Phoenix Woman in Arranged Muslim Marriage Allegedly Raped, Beaten by Groom-to-be

Mohamed S. Abdullahi - forgot what country he is in

FoxNews.com, 

A Muslim woman expected to enter an arranged marriage in Phoenix was raped, beaten and sexually assaulted by her groom-to-be after she refused to marry the man, Fox 10 News Phoenix reported on Wednesday.

Mohamed S. Abdullahi, 30, who was arrested on Tuesday, reportedly faces sexual assault and kidnapping charges. Police referred to the alleged victim as a young adult.

The report said that the families agreed on a “Nikah,” a formal Islamic marriage. The woman, who apparently had no desire to be with Abdullahi, ran away but returned about 15 days later to finish school.

Police are investigating details leading up to the alleged assault, investigating whether the woman’s Somali family forced her into the apartment where police say she was raped and held against her will.

The Arizona Republic reported that the woman was brought to the apartment Monday.

One neighbor told WAFB.com that she saw the woman shaking and crying as she was dragged onto the sidewalk. She said she would have called police if she was aware of the situation. 

The situation more than warranted calling the police; a grown woman shaking, crying, and being dragged along. Good grief! Neighbors like that you don't need.

Once in the apartment, police reportedly said Abdullahi placed a mattress in front of the door to prevent her from leaving. The alleged victim eventually managed to send a message to her friend from her tablet, WAFB.com reported.

Abdullahi was criticized by the Arizona chapter of the Center for Arabic Islamic Relations, saying the allegations have no basis in the Islamic faith.

CAIR may be right that it had no basis in Islamic faith, or, at least, in the Quran. But it had plenty of basis in Islamic culture. The girl, having been raped is no longer marriage material except to her rapist. Many rape victims in Islamic countries end up marrying their rapist as the only way to survive.

I suspect that was what the parents and the would-be groom were attempting to accomplish, not realizing that you can't get away with raping girls in America like you can in most Islamic countries. Abdullahi will likely spend much of the rest of his life in jail. The girl should abandon Islam and find a real man to marry.
