There is a deeply disturbing trial unfolding in Germany involving another “honor killing.” Asadullah Khan, 51, strangled his 19-year-old daughter to death for bringing dishonor on his Muslim family after she stopped wearing the Islamic head scarf and continued to see her boyfriend and was then caught shoplifting condoms. The father and mother, Sharzia, 41, then dressed the dead body of Lareeb, put the corpse into a wheelchair to bring it to a car, then drove from Darmstadt to a remote forest where they rolled her down an embankment (she was found the next day). Both are charged and the key witness against them is their daughter Nida. The parents are from Pakistan and Khan speaks little German.
Khan admits strangling Lareeb with his bare hands and Shazia admits that they were angry with her after she stayed away from home for several nights and stopping wearing the headscarf. Shazia showed Khan a letter from the police that she was arrested for shoplifting that in her words “At this point it became clear that there was sexual contact. When I showed the letter to my husband he snapped.” Shazia however testified under oath that she did everything that she could to stop the murder but was not strong enough.
However, Shazia has faced damaging testimony from Lareeb’s 14-year-old sister Nida who said that her parents sent her to stay with a relative that night. That morning around 2am Khan went into Shazia’s bedroom and strangled her to death. Nida said that her mother would take part in physically abusing her sister and agreeing to marry her off in an arranged married in Pakistan: “My mama was not suppressed, she could do what she wanted. She used to hit me with a stick. We were never allowed to talk about her [Lareeb’s] boyfriend. My father used to say my sister should be forcibly married in Pakistan,” she told the court.
Lareeb’s boyfriend Raheel, 25, a student and taxi driver, also testified that the couple would beat Lareeb (who he planned to marry). He said that Shazia would beat her with a stick and once pressed her hand against a hot stove. He also said that Khan previously tried to strangle her.
Asadullah insisted on the stand that “I love my wife and my daughters.”
The account is another chilling insight into the plight of women and girls in some conservative Islamic families. While honor killings remain common in some Islamic nations like Pakistan, Afghanistan, and others, it also occurs in the West. Given the freedoms afforded women in the West, this clash of cultures is more intense and more dangerous for these girls. Shazia is the tragic face of that clash of cultures — a girl who found freedoms denied to her in Pakistan only to have her life taken to preserve her father’s twisted sense of “honor.”

We are America. We are exceptional.
Meanwhile, about that moral relativism: https://theintercept.com/2015/09/30/u-s-bombs-somehow-keep-falling-in-the-places-where-obama-boasts-he-ended-wars/
In America, would Mike Huckabee hold a stump speech supporting their RELIGIOUS BELIEFS?
In America, their “DEEPLY HELD BELIEFS” would be on trial…
In America this would be defended as… RELIGIOUS LIBERTY.
I sure as hell don’t like the threats of violence and xenophobia all in the name of ‘self preservation’. We’ve been through that before and it is shameful and ugly.
I offer no apology for that position.
“Could this refer to the Jews just prior to WWII? Or maybe the Japanese and Chinese? Yes! Let’s go back to those good old days of Enlightment.
One thing though. Let’s keep our railroads in good repair. We’re going to need a good rail system to ship all these sub-humans to the camps.”
Mike,
I’ve thought along these same lines. We’ve heard these sentiments before, haven’t we?
Immigration to any country should be CONTROLLED immigration in order to prevent the character of the existing country to not be swamped in a short period of time, to allow the immigrants to be able to assimilate and to not have the existing citizens to be overwhelmed.
Want to immigrate to New Zealand? They have a great system
http://www.wikihow.com/Emigrate-to-New-Zealand
They are careful to only accept those whose presence will BENEFIT the country
excerpt——>
Obtain a Work to Residence (WTR) visa.
The three ways to get these are to apply for a WTR1 Talent Visa (accredited employer), WTR2 Talent Visa (arts, culture, sports), and WTR3 Visa (long term skill shortage).
To obtain a WTR1 or WTR2 Talent Visa, you must be aged 55 or younger, meet health and character requirements, and have found an employer (for WR1) or nationally known organization (for WR2) that wants to make use of your talents.
To obtain a WR3 Visa, you must be under age 53 when you apply for the visa and under age 56 when you are eligible for residence. Your skill must be on New Zealand’s Long Term Skill Shortage List.
In otherwords the flood gates in New Zealand are not open to just anyone. Unlike the US which has zero screening processes, allows criminals and gang members to infiltrate, allows the ill and those with communicable third world diseases to spread, and has no requirements that the immigrants be able to do anything at all, much less provide NEEDED skills.
Without any safeguards the United States is rapidly turning into a third world cesspit and the middle class workers who exist now are being overwhelmed.
So….yes…..self preservation is a consideration. When your countries leaders are not protecting you and are actively working to destroy you, we the people need to consider how to protect ourselves.
Too bad if you don’t like it.
Here’s an interesting comment:
“Put quotas (as they did in the past) on the numbers of people who can be allowed from certain areas. NONE of these so called “refugees” should be foisted onto the public.”
Could this refer to the Jews just prior to WWII? Or maybe the Japanese and Chinese? Yes! Let’s go back to those good old days of Enlightment.
One thing though. Let’s keep our railroads in good repair. We’re going to need a good rail system to ship all these sub-humans to the camps.

Again, it’s just argument for argument’s sake with you. You picked a bad one to be oxymoronic. Perhaps just moronic.

No, my purpose is to infuse objectivity where bias and prejudice abounds. There are two sides to this issue, whether you want to acknowledge that or not. Our culture has wrongly taught children to disobey and disrespect their parents. Ever watch television? The parents are nearly always in the wrong and the children are in the right. There are a lot of pressures in Western culture to push children to disrespect and dishonor their parents. The very first commandment of God concerning human relations is to honor your father and mother, that your days may be long upon the earth. Unfortunately, Lareeb did not pay attention to this commandment.
When I took the YouGov poll on whether a Muslim should be President, I had to put “I don’t know.” This is the type of incident that tells me no, but I would like to be open to all faiths.
Ah. Nothing like a call to have Americans kill immigrants and then call it ‘self preservation’ instead of what it is – murder – and if enough of them are killed, terrorism and genocide.
I guess this is what we should expect after the government ran Jade Helm so successfully and removed all the guns from Texas.
Fools. Utter fools.
There are moral relativists who will defend this. “It’s there culture.” The world turned upside down.
Lareeb was an adult under German law. Some commenters seem to consider her a minor needing protecting. Her murder is deplorable, but the daughter also dishonoring her parents is deplorable. Children can find their own path in life without being disrespectful and dishonest with their parents. In Islamic culture, apparently this can be a matter of life and death.
No Calypso, I don’t condemn Islam, or the billions of people who practice it who manage to not take their holy book literally. Christians manage to ignore the outlandish stuff in the Bible too, good thing too.
To think this is taking over Europe, once complete, on to the United States of America. My heart is broken for our children, grandchildren… as we allowed this to take place.
Yes. We are doomed by the elites naive [at best] worship of multiculturalism at all costs. The youths have been raised to denigrate their own culture and taught that “everything is beautiful in its own way”. Can’t you just hear the music?
As already stated, the parents/murderers need to be tried according to the laws of GERMANY and eff their religious laws. Those do NOT count. If not….then Germany is just asking for more of this same barbarism.
Europe is already lost. I see no good at all coming from this invasion from the middle east and Muslims. If not a real sanctioned war there will be genocide. At least in America, we may still have a fighting chance. But, only if we can get the multicultural squishes to wake up and protect our borders…YES I’m looking at you Rubio and Jeb……. stop illegal immigration, scan and vet the people for health and criminality. Put quotas (as they did in the past) on the numbers of people who can be allowed from certain areas. NONE of these so called “refugees” should be foisted onto the public.
I’ve already heard rumblings about the possibility of Somalis and Syrians being stashed in some areas nearby…… and the people are not happy at all. I would not be surprised to see some violence and unfortunate “accidents. Self preservation.
The ISIS/Taliban grand plan is working. Obama is next to open the flood gates of infiltration.
After Angela is out of office some regime will take over in Germany and do something about the Muslims. Seventy five years ago they decided to remove Gypsies and Jews and were very thorough. People in Pakistan and the other Stan countries would be wise to seek refuge in some safer nation state. As to the mom and dad, they need to have a tent or head scarf put on their heads and be taken to Buchenwald in a cattle car.
Awful story. I can’t help but think that with the information presented here, that it was the shoplifting charge of condoms which broke the camel’s back. That’s like, 20 bucks, tops? Mohammed Effin’ Christ, just buy it! Your boyfriend had a job anyway, why couldn’t he do it? Why couldn’t he give you 20 bucks? He was planning to marry you!!
I hope Nida is safe somewhere and remains so.
Brewers …. “just a bit outside” as Uecker might say, Nick.
