Asian father stopped rescue team from saving his drowning daughter
A father of a 20-year-old girl let his daughter drown, stopping life guards from rescuing her.
He preferred that his daughter die rather than she be touched by a strange man, according to a top official.
Speaking to Emirates 24|7, Lt. Col Ahmed Burqibah, Deputy Director of Dubai Police’s Search and Rescue Department said that this incident took place at a beach in Dubai.
“This is one of the incidents which I cannot forget.
“It shocked me and many others who were involved in the case.
“The Asian father took his wife and kids to the beach for picnic and fun.
“The kids were swimming in the beach when suddenly, the 20-year-old girl started drowning and screaming for help.
“Two rescue men were at the beach, and they rushed to help the girl.
“However, there was one obstacle which prevented them from reaching the girl and helping her.
“This obstacle was the belief of this Asian man who considered that if these men touched his daughter, then this would dishonour her. It cost him the life of his daughter.”
Lt. Col. Burqibah added that the father of the girl did not want the rescue men to touch his daughter as they were strange men.
“The father was a tall and strong man. He started pulling and preventing the rescue men and got violent with them. He told them that he prefers his daughter being dead than being touched by a strange man.”
He pointed out that this delay and fight with the girl’s father cost the girl her life. She drowned.
“She died unfortunately, at a time when she had a chance to live, especially that the rescue men were so close to her to pull her out of the water.”
Lt. Col. Burqibah added that the girl’s father was later arrested by Dubai Police for stopping the rescue team from saving his daughter’s life and doing their job.
“He was prosecuted and sued by the concerned authorities.”
religion of pieces.
Some people’s beliefs are amazing. Poor kid.
She’s 20 and screaming for help.
Isn’t it her choice by then.
At what age can she act as her own agent in her affairs, especially when it’s her life on the line?
Somehow I don't think this guy is Japanese.
It probably means Indian or Pakistani.
Asian in the UK means Paki or Indian and such.
I doubt he's from India.
You do know there are more than 138 million Muslims in India?
Women are never in charge of themselves under Islam. Ever.
NEVER:
How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy.
The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live.
A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.
Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities, but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it.
No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome.

Why the hell didn't he go into the water himself to try and save her?!?!
Also, of this is common in certain countries, why don't they have female lifeguards? (In burkas, of course)
For clarity. That man in the photo is the guy who arrested the SOB.
Just call it an honor killing.
True, but these were described as Asian people. Of course that could cover a lot of Islamic people on the South of Asia.
It does sound as if the father was a Islamic adherent. I’ll grant you that.
Thank you. Just responded to another person on this topic.
Are we sure these people were Islamic? I don’t know of another group of people who would act like this, so I’ll grant you it sounds like it.
If it was another group, I’d like to know.
Thanks for the Churchill comments. He had it pegged right IMO.
Just proof that all cultures are not equal, and some need to evolve, and some need to die.
I think I would call it that also.
I agree.
Al is at the bar.
