An Iraqi who murdered his teenage daughter for falling in love with a British soldier will not face charges.

Rand Abdel-Qader, 17, had grown close to a blond infantryman known only as Paul in Basra. When her father Ali Abdel-Qader found out, he went berserk, beating her and stamping on her throat in an "honour killing".

But astonishingly Ali - who has Basra government and police links - was released after being held for two hours. Sgt Ali Jabbar said: "Not much can be done when we have an honour killing. You are in a Muslim society."

Rand met Paul through her voluntary work and knew him for five months. Her best friend Zeinab, 19, said Rand told her Paul, who she last saw in January, called her Princess and vowed to take her to London. Advertisement

She added: "I had to remind Rand she was a Muslim and her family was never going to accept her marrying a Christian, British soldier. Her mind was very far from reality, but closer to an impossible dream."

Poetic Justice:

Squadie returns to Basra, stamps on throat of Father in Revenge Honor Killing.

Squadie will not be prosecuted.

Squadie marries sister.

All live happily ever after.

No matter what you do for them or to them, at the end of the day, we are still the infidel.

women of Islam = slavery
Another example of the kind compassionate religion we all know as Islam.

The "Religion" of Peace strikes again. These people are f'n animals

This is not about a clash of east vs west cultures. This is about murder and the denial of basic human rights.

If we were talking about people in the back of a bar beer flowing out both ears, I could dismiss some of this. Instead we are talking about your every day Iraqi. And when the government gets involved after the stomping to death of an innocent 17 year old, a government entity releases the perp father.

This is why I have some grave concerns about importing Muslim adherants into the United States. Some? Okay. Significant numbers, I think it’s very very problematic.

Muslims seem to have no problem beating women. When they have to face REAL MEN, they run like the cowards they are. Those who don’t run, die like the cowards they are.

Tis a pity the British have lost the spirit of Gen. Sir Charles James Napier.

His take on the charming Indian practice of suttee:

"You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."

Violence, Death and Murder... It’s what Muslims like, it’s what they do, it’s what they ARE.

We need to get out of Iraq as soon as possible and leave these barbarians to kill each other for their honor.

“We need to get out of Iraq as soon as possible and leave these barbarians to kill each other for their honor.”
And next time, no tanks and infantry. Just nuke the islamo savages.

Islamic men are brutish and offensive in their thinking and actions. I would never feel safe around one.
