Muslim Fathers kills 6 Daughters in Islamic "honor killing"



" He does not regret what he did. He boasted that he would do it all over again if he had to," Police Inspector Javed Sial.

FAISALABAD:
A man gunned down six of his daughters on suspicion that two of them were in relationships with boys in the neighbourhood.
On Tuesday morning, Arif Mubashir called his teenage daughters to his room and shot them while the rest of the family, including their mother, watched. His wife Musarrat called the police after the incident.
Mubashir shot the girls after their brother said two of them were in a relationship. He told police officials that he had killed his daughters because they were both “without honour”. The man said his daughters Sameena, 14, and Razia, 16, were in a relationship with college boys from the neighbourhood and the sisters had helped each other. “I should have been told immediately but the girls sided with each other. They were both corrupt,” Mubashir told Tandlianwala Police Inspector Javed Sial.
Police officials have taken Mubashir into custody and filed a case against him. “He does not regret what he did. He boasted that he would do it all over again if he had to,” Sial told reporters.
Pakistan has repeatedly been termed as one of the least women-friendly countries. In June, the Thompson Reuters Foundation ranked Pakistan as the world’s third most dangerous country for women.

Murderer of Rav Abuhatzeira, "I kissed his hand before killing him"


Asher Dahan


The murderer of Rabbi Elazar Abuhatzeira, the Kabbalah rabbi grandson of the Babi Sali Thursday says he kissed the rabbi’s hand before stabbing him. “I don't know what devil or Satan got into me” at the moment of the murder.
Asher Dahan, who is in police custody, told the Hebrew-languageMaariv newspaper, “I respect Rabbi Abuhatzeira and depend on him for everything. He was everything for me. I worshipped him.”
Dahan murdered the rabbi, grandson of the renowned “Baba Sali” Rabbi Yisrael Abuhatzeira,” in his conference room later Thursday night.
“Every time I left the rabbi, I had a feeling of happiness and joy,” Dahan told police investigators. He gave me hope there is a solution to everything in life, and I never tight for a moment that perhaps he was wrong.
Dahan had consulted Rabbi Abuhatzeira several times lately concerning marital problems.
“There were problem between my wife and me,” Dahan explained. "I went often to the rabbi for advice, and he told me to do allsorts of things, but the situation only got worse. It caused me personal damage, and it reached point that I was afraid of a divorce.”
He described his actions after he entered the rabbi’s conference room without anyone stopping him or asking him any questions. Dahan waited to be the last one to see the rabbi so he could be alone with him.
“I kissed the rabbi’s hand and said a few words” after entering, Dahan related. "Seconds later, I took out the knife and stabbed him in his chest. He screamed and fell to the floor.”

Shomrim's Policy of discouraging a Jewish Victim from going to Police, violates Federal Civil Rights Statutes!

Chaim Deutsch Flatbush Shomrim Founder shows off his $250,000 "mobile security commans center"


In an article in today's New York Post,  reporter Michael Lesher writes that Shomrim received $130,000.00 in taxpayer money yet refuse to follow New York's mandatory reporting statute. 
Jewish vigilante groups like Shomrim, unskilled and ill-equipped for police work, and all too often driven by religious prescriptions to keep their community’s crimes out of the public eye, are being paid to interfere with the authorities by New York City taxpayers — through the generous offices of some City Council members.

"Obama is a loser" "Nobody loves Obama" : Peggy Noonan


I want to talk about something that started to become apparent to me during the debt negotiations. It's something I've never seen in national politics.
It is that nobody loves Obama. 
This is amazing because every president has people who love him, who feel deep personal affection or connection, who have a stubborn, even beautiful refusal to let what they know are just criticisms affect their feelings of regard. At the height of Bill Clinton's troubles there were always people who'd say, "Look, I love the guy." They'd often be smiling—a wry smile, a shrugging smile. Nobody smiles when they talk about Mr. Obama. There were people who loved George W. Bush when he was at his most unpopular, and they meant it and would say it. But people aren't that way about Mr. Obama. He has supporters and bundlers and contributors, he has voters, he may win. But his support is grim support. And surely this has implications.

Rav Elazar Abuchatzeira , "Kabbalist" Stabbed To Death









Rabbi Elazar Abuhatzeira, the grandson of Rabbi Yisrael Abuhatzeira (also known as the “Baba Sali”), was stabbed to death in Be’er Sheva late Thursday night.
According to reports, the rabbi, who was known as the “Baba Elazar,” was stabbed in a yeshiva in the city. He was critically wounded and was taken by Magen David Adom paramedics to Soroka Hospital in Be’er Sheva, where he died shortly after arrival.
The Baba Elazar was 70 years old.
Channel 10 News reported that the police have arrested a suspect in connection with the stabbing. Though investigations are still under way, police reportedly believe the motive for the murder is criminal.
Two years ago, a man was arrested on suspicion of planning to stab the rabbi. At the time, the rabbi refused to file a complaint with the police, but his associates filed a complaint in his name.
Rabbi Elazar Abuhatzeira’s grandfather, the Baba Sali, was a Jewish Moroccan rabbi who was revered to have mystic healing powers.
The Baba Sali lived a spartan life devoid of material interests, often fasting and praying throughout the day. He was also one of the main leaders of the immigration to Israel and helped bring nearly the entire Jewish community from Morocco to live in the Holy Land.
His home in Netivot was a site for pilgrimages of people seeking his blessing and advice during his lifetime and more than 100,000 people attended his funeral in 1984; since that time, his tomb has become a shrine for pilgrims and petitioners who come often to pray for assistance and intervention in their daily troubles. Many bring their three-year-old sons to his tomb for the traditional "chalaka", i.e. first hair-cutting.

Updated 7:18 PM
According to Israeli media reports the man who stabbed the rabbi has been identified as Asher Dahan from Elad, and is under arrest.


From an eyewitness account, loose translation from hebrew




In recent months, a driver named Asher Dahan, a resident of Elad, would visit the home of Rabbi Elazar Abohtzira z"l. And so it happened tonight. He arrived around ten to Beersheba, and shortly after midnight went in to the rabbi. He was there for about four minutes and ran out.
When the Rabbis aides entered the rabbi's room , they were shocked and panic stricken. They knew Daha, his  face was familiar, and they immediately notified  police and was soon arrested.
Dahan has a criminal past and spent four years in prison.
 He worked as an educator in the Talmud Torah , and previously also served as Chairman of the welfare department for religious purposes in the Negev Histadrut.
He grew up in Dimona, and later lived in Pardes Katz, and during this period he became a Baal Tsuvah  he then moved to Elad.

Michelle Obama on Bin Laden Killing:" It’s not good, but it’s good"


Michelle talking to her kids about the raid on the Bin Laden Compound and the subsequent assassination, couldn't explain to her kids that killing a terrorist and murderer was a good thing! She was in a quandary on how to break the news to her little daughter. She explains that telling her children that the USA took out a terrorist that was responsible for thousands of deaths around the world, is "a convoluted set of concepts."
Here read the interview

How much did Jill Biden & Michelle Obama know about the attack before it happened?
JILL BIDEN: “I didn’t have a clue. Joe left early and was gone all day. Didn’t come home for a meal—nothing. So I knew something was happening, but I thought it was about Libya. [When I heard,] I was grading papers and watching TV.”
MICHELLE OBAMA: “I knew something was happening, but when it gets down to that level of secrecy, there’s just a small number of people who know anything.”
She adds, “I was actually out to dinner with girlfriends, and I didn’t know until I walked in the door. It was later in the evening, and Barack had his suit on, because he was going to the press conference. And I said, ‘What’s going on?’”
Her reaction? “I was like ‘Wow.’ Then I wanted to know the details: ‘How did it happen? Then what? And then what happened?’ I was probably like every media person.”
On explaining the mission to her children:
MICHELLE OBAMA: “I think kids instinctively feel that ambivalence—is this good or is this bad? And then you have to explain in a way that says it’s not good, but it’s good. The older kids, I think, get it. It’s a convoluted set of concepts. But I think they understand, when it’s placed in context.”

Lockerbie Murderer of 270 People on Pan Am Flight 103, Seen On TV Rally!



The man convicted of killing 270 people in the Lockerbie bombing has been seen on Libyan television.
Abdelbaset al-Megrahi was released from a Scottish prison almost two years ago on compassionate grounds, after serving nearly eight years of a 27-year sentence.
Four days before Christmas in 1988, the Pan Am Flight 103 travelling from London to New York was targeted in a bomb attack, causing it to crash in Lockerbie, in Dumfries and Galloway.
In footage seen by the BBC on Tuesday night, a television presenter introduced Megrahi at what appears to be a pro-government rally, and said his conviction was the result of a "conspiracy". He also said his release had been a victory against oppression.
It was reported that during the apparently live broadcast, Megrahi was in a wheelchair.
