Could this have been an honor killing? If it was, will authorities ever admit this?
In the Qur’an, a mysterious figure, known as Khidr in Islamic tradition, kills a boy in an apparently random and gratuitous attack. He then explains: “And as for the boy, his parents were believers, and we feared that he would overburden them by transgression and disbelief. So we intended that their Lord should substitute for them one better than him in purity and nearer to mercy.” (18:80-81)
And according to Islamic law, “retaliation is obligatory against anyone who kills a human being purely intentionally and without right.” However, “not subject to retaliation” is “a father or mother (or their fathers or mothers) for killing their offspring, or offspring’s offspring.” (Reliance of the Traveller o1.1-2).
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.”
“Chicago authorities identify 4 women shot to death in suburban home,” Associated Press, January 22, 2024:
Authorities have identified a woman and her three adult daughters who were found slain inside their suburban Chicago home in what police are calling a domestic-related shooting.
The victims have been identified by a medical examiner as Majeda Kassem, 53; Halema and Zahia Kassem, both 25; and Hanan Kassem, 24.
A man was taken into custody at the home after a call was made to 911 about 11:30 a.m. Sunday, according to the Tinley Park Public Safety Department. The village of roughly 55,000 people is about 30 miles southwest of Chicago.
“The offender is in custody and scene is secure,” police said in a statement Sunday.
Police say the shooting happened in a residential neighborhood in Tinley Park, about 30 miles south of Chicago. (Google Maps)
The man’s name has not yet been released. A gun was recovered at the scene, police said….

Let’s all guess: achmed mohammed; or hassan mohamed;….? Some usual name of an avid adherent of the cult of death written about in a book of demon filth; giving the scum his license to take out his entire family for something he decides has dirtied his rep with the local barracks of like-minded males.
Did the woman and her daughters stop wearing the garbage bags and/or scarves? Did the wife want a divorce? Did the daughters have infidels as boyfriends; or were they just refusing to marry some creeps from pakistan, so the creeps could *legally* invade, as opposed to swimming the Rio Grande?
How long before the *unnamed* murdering scum is found to be *incompetent to stand trial*….or is *mentally ill* and confined…temporarily or long-term….to a nice cushy bed in a hospital; at taxpayer expense?

CAIR is all over this, calling for an end to islamic honor slaughter, islamic abuse of women, and islamic forced marriage, I’m sure. CAIR is always so concerned about slaughtered muslims and they’re proving it by asking for obliteration of these violent islamic practices, right?

Perhaps the perp is a member of c.a.i.r in good standing. They all “know their rights”….and the phobia of those who say differently.
Hoi Polloi says
Yep.

If this is determined to be an islamic honor killing, this story will be quickly buried.
Guaranteed.

In Montreal, Canada there was a guy named Mohammed Sharia I believe it was, who murdered his two daughters and one of his wives (he was apparently a bigamist) because his two daughters were becoming too Westernized, had non-Muslim boyfriends, and weren’t dressing Islamic style, etc.
Also, I think his son and perhaps the other wife assisted in the murders, though I cannot recall exactly. Lovely guy, though /sarc/. He said “I hope the Devil shots on their graves.” After his conviction and sentencing, several people said the same about him.

Three daughters and old wife brought shame on this millionaire son of Allah, so his younger wife and son help him do the only right thing — kill them
Mike says
Mohammed Shafia (correction, though “Sharia ” would have been an appropriate surname for the control freak.)
OLD GUY says
Well if there is any good to come from this , it will be a couple less brood mares for the islamic murderer to get pregnant.

Islam in America has brought the following..sharia courts (islamic law courts) sharia banking, sharia no go zones, halal markets, mosques etc.
Here’s what Americans and government have ignored or forgotten: Article 6 of the Constitution states no other government to operate inside of America.
Islam and sharia law are one, a theocracy not a democracy.
Dictionaries have changed their definition of Islam to portray it as a democracy when just a few years ago it was explained as a theocracy. Hiding the truth is dangerous to humanity.
