She may have been resisting being sent to Iraq for an arranged marriage to an older man.
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.”
“Lacey parents charged in possible attempted honor killing of daughter,” by Jennifer Dowling, Fox 13 Seattle, November 8, 2024 (thanks to Ken):
LACEY, Wash. – A Lacey father and mother are charged with attempted murder, attempted kidnapping and assault after being accused of trying to kill their teen daughter in what the victim described as a possible honor killing.
Prosecutors say the Timberline High School student was attacked by her parents outside the school after she tried to escape the family.
Her boyfriend stepped in to try to help during the attack, and police say he was also assaulted and suffered injuries. His father, Victor Barnes, says the attack happened near a school bus stop, while the girl was trying to get a ride to a shelter for safety.
Disturbing video caught on a cell phone by a witness shows the dad choking her under a tree as other students tried to intervene to save her. Lacey Police say they have the cell phone video and are investigating.
“There’s dad. There’s the daughter underneath dad,” said Barnes, pointing to the video that has since been turned into police.
Barnes says the video shows Ihsan Ali choking his teen daughter from behind, her face shoved in the dirt.
“That’s my son fighting for the girl’s life,” he said, pointing to a portion of video in which his son was pulling at Ishan to try to get him off his daughter.
Court documents state that she reported abuse by both Ishan, her father, and her mother, Zahraa Subhi Mohsin Ali prior to the incident.
She also told investigators her parents had also planned to forcefully send her to Iraq to marry an older man and had threatened to kill her….

The police should believe every word the daughter has to say. Being raised by mozlums, she would know about the murders for not going along with whatever *arrangements* the parents make, the threats from having a non-mozlum boyfriend, threats from the way she chooses to dress and if she wants a job, etc.
And it looks from the photo shot of the video, there are enough witnesses to the choking to put the parents away for a very long time.
Hoping that town has a good DA and not a soros plant.

You are right about the DA, Somehistory. This past election Alameda was able to recall the appalling Pamela Price–a “defund the police” thug who let crime–including violent crime–run rampant here. The measure to recall Price won by a landslide.

Great to ear, g.
and yes, the boyfriend is one of the ‘good guys.’

Great to Hear….or read….sometimes the keys just don’t produce what my mind has intended.

I knew what you meant, Somehistory. Thanks.

We’ve also had a tough on crime proposion–Prop 36–pass here. After skyrocketing crime here, this measure has been popular across the board.

Washington state: Muslim parents attempt honor killing of their daughter
…………………………………….
Kudos to this girl’s boyfriend and her schoolmates for saving her life! I hope her vicious family is prosecuted and deported.
Hoi Polloi says
Typical islamic perversion and inversion. It’s “honorable” to brutally murder your children and the religion dictates no punishment. On a scale where 90-100 is an A, at 91% of all these murders worldwide, islam finally gets an A in something. Of course, the subject would be slaughtering your own children. Brave boyfriend gets the real A+.
Walter Sieruk says
The brutal callous cruel malicious murderous misogyny that many Muslims so very inappropriately call “honor killing.” is one of the many evil fruits of the religion of Islam.
Jesus taught “By their fruits you will recognize them” Matthew 7:20. [N.I.V.]
Troybeam says
Islamic Sharia Law: does not matter which nation a Muslim lives in any other law has no meaning and or will not be obeyed. Islam’s only law is sharia.
The attempted murder of this young Muslim woman is a good example of Muslims in the United States using sharia law to murder their daughter without penalty. That means its our Islamic law your laws mean nothing to Islam, only sharia. You can do nothing against us.
Sure we can, deport each and every one of you.
Noah Andeark says
It’s (p)islam. Being practiced in the manner of the prophet, the pig-faced dog, mohammed.
Ask the terrorists (aka muslims) at the terror org CAIR. They’ll tell you.
Anitra says
Ces personnes n’ont rien à faire en Occident! La seule issue pour s’en débarrasser est l’EXPULSION!
Anitra says
These people have no place in the West! The only way to get rid of them is EXPULSION!

Yet they call the Jews sub humans. I have never heard of Jews murdering their children. It is always the girls. What a miserable fate to be born a girl in a Moose Limb family
gravenimage says
Grimly true, Bill. I hope she can escape her vicious family now.
Ralph says
There should be no Mooslimes allowed to immigrate into the USA. Any not already citizens should be deported. Round ’em up; move ’em out. For the good of our nation.
Andrew Blackadder says
The fact that the Father tried to murder his daughter in broad daylight and not behind dark close doors should tell us all just how justified this Father thinks he is in doing what he was trying to do.
Is there another religion around today that would act in such a manner?.
islam surely is a Fascist Religious Cult.
gravenimage says
Yes, Andrew–he obvioius felt *very* emboldened. So glad her friends defended her. Very heartening.
