This happend in Lewisville, Texas on New Year's Day.

Honor killings are not sanctioned by the Koran (the Muslim Holy Book); however, women are considered property to be disposed of as men want. They may be committed because of pre-marital relationships, flirting, infidelity, or because dinner wasn't served on time.


Poem Artwork

Two young women - sisters -
are in love.  The world is
a beautiful place.  They
are good students with dreams
of college and careers:
too bad they won't see them
come to pass.  They were found
murdered in a cab their
father had been driving -
shot multiple times.  Where
is the father?  Hasn't
been seen since.  All because
they had boyfriends, had found
love they didn't have at
home ... does anyone see
something suspicious here?

(c) 2008, Karla Dorman (1/7)

Terrorism of their own families says it all. These people rule their own families with threats and disrespect and because of this they need to live where others' understand this type of murder or die...just die. If they elect to come to the states and then live under rules that go against the United States then they need to hang, be elctrocuted or shot...no chemical IV. That would be too humne. An eye for an eye...if found he needs to be sentenced to death right away and not linger as a responsibility to the taxpayers of this country.
Sorry...on my soapbox and I'mspeaking for the mudered sdaughters of this monster.

Blessings and love,
Susan

Sad and maddening. SO much violence in this country (I looked up the statistics, and they are daunting. Canada is so close. Why does the violence slow at the border? Not all about guns, can't be.)

Stay safe, dear friend, stay safe!!

Well written piece of tragic loss in the inhumanity of certain beliefs that tear at the fabric of society.

Dear Karla,

One has to be insane to believe there is any honour in killing. This poem spells t-r-a-g-e-d-y.

Love & Light always and in all ways,

The truly mean of Islam has been converted on a unspeakble four letter word, not by words but by the repeatedly grotesque actions condoned by the learned ones in their midst.

Felix is nuts if he thinks we are at war for oil . . . The authorities are hunting this bastard as we speak . . . I do agree that we in this country are slow to react when something happens in the "Muslim community" . . .

I see something so very sad and tragic, and I think there's far too much sad and tragic around these days.

I heard about this case; tragic, indeed! The man who did this should be punished within an inch of his life--but not given the satisfaction of death. Shame! Powerfully penned sadness in your words this morning; well done.

(((HUGS))) and much love, your twin, Karen Lynn. :(

It is sad we will go to war and stay at war for things such as oil and diplomacy but the injustices being investigated by groups such as Ammesty INternational are totally ignored.
