another shining example of muslim's gentle side
shamelessly copied from fox news..........it didn't bring it up in the article, but beating and or murdering a female because of "dishonor", is a very old and still used facet of the kind, gentle , peaceful muslim culture........................just like in saudi, 7 good muslims gang rape a "stupid female" and it's her fault???????....How can a father just shoot his own flesh and blood like that? The radio was stating it was because "possibly" that daddy of the year here, didn't like the way his daughters were dating. (Well that justifies it, case closed) Now the article also didn't say if he was muslim, but he was from egypt, and "honor killings" are a part of the most predominate faith in that country.....details to follow....and if he turns out to be of a good christian faith, and just lost it, I will make a big retraction......riff

One of the teens called 911 on a cell phone about 7:30 p.m. Tuesday and said she was shot, but she couldn't tell police where she was,
Officers were dispatched to the area, which turned out to be about half a mile from the taxi, but didn't find anyone, The Dallas Morning News reported in its online edition Wednesday. Police found the taxi with the bodies inside an hour later after a witness called and reported a suspicious vehicle in a hotel parking lot, said David Tull, an Irving police spokesman.
Police described Yaser Abdel Said as about 6-foot-2, weighing about 180 pounds with black hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing a black turtleneck shirt or sweater, a brown coat and tan pants. He is believed to be armed with a handgun, police said.
The Dallas Morning Newsconfirms the girls' family is Muslim:
Friends describe Amina and Sarah as quiet but well-liked students at Lewisville High School. They played tennis and soccer and were enrolled in many Advanced Placement classes.
"They were extremely smart -- like geniuses," said Allison Villarreal, a senior at Lewisville High, where Amina was a senior and Sarah was a junior.
Liz Marines, secretary of the Lewisville High School Student Council, had classes with both of the sisters and also remembers their scholastic abilities.
"Amina was very nice with everybody. She helped me in [Advanced Placement English] class," she said. Sarah was a sophomore when she took an Algebra II class with Liz, who was a junior at the time.
She said the sisters, who wore typical American clothes, didn't talk much about their family. "I didn't know they were Muslims until she told me they were Egyptian and Muslim," Liz said

An Oak Forest man set a fire that killed his pregnant daughter, son-in-law and young grandson because he was upset over his daughter's marriage, prosecutors said Tuesday.
Subhash Chander, 57, told police that he resented the couple for what he considered a "cultural slight" -- that his daughter Monika Rani, 22, had married a man from a lower caste and done so without his consent, according to a court document.
