I find the targetting of the 'Women's Market' in Pakistan particularly disgusting - I know they do not restrict their terror to military or strategic targets but even so....

I've often wondered whether this twisted, repressed, hating culture would change dramatically if they removed the awful taboos against normal mingling of the sexes (and actually regularly engaged in the act, unafraid of being caught and subjected to flogging, stoning or worse). Sexuality held so fiercely in check encourages crazy rage, notably amongst the young men, major perpetrators of these crimes.

Woman Slashes Husband's Throat Because He's Not Devout Muslim

October 30, 2009 11:30 AM

A Staten Island woman was charged with attempted murder, assault and criminal possession of a deadly weapon after slashing her husband's throat with a knife. The police say the devout Muslim woman was upset her husband did not follow Islam strictly, allegedly making her drink alcohol, dress in short skirts, and eat pork.

According to the Daily News, Sheikh Naseem, a teacher at Susan Wagner High School, woke up on Wednesday to find wife Rabia Sarwar on his chest yelling, "It's time for you to die!" and slashing his throat. Naseem told the Post, "She just screamed, ‘They are going to be orphans now!’"—referring to his children from previous marriages—"She kept on coming after me with the knife and I grabbed it and broke it into two pieces and ran out of the room." He had to call the police from a neighbor's home, because she had hidden the phones. Naseem was treated for surface wounds.

Sarwar allegedly confessed to the police, listing her husband's various abuses and how Salman Rushdie was his favorite author. Her lawyer said she was "emotionally abused..He got her to drink alcohol, eat pork and change her clothes. She wanted to dress traditionally. I think he was a cruel person who preyed on her."

Naseem, "who was born in Pakistan, but is half Norwegian and is a Unitarian," explained that he wed Sarwar, who is from Pakistan, through an arranged marriage five months ago. (Given his two previous failed marriages, an ex-wife said, "Being that he didn't do very well the first two times, he thought he would try a woman of his own culture.") Naseem said he thought she was adjusting to American culture just fine, "There was no gun pointed to her head to do these things."

Iraqi father who ran over daughter still sought by police

http://peoriatimes.com/articles/2009/10 ... news11.txt

Noor Almaleki, 20, who was run over by her father in a parking lot at 89th and Peoria avenues Oct. 20, is still in the hospital in very critical condition, police spokesperson Jay Davies said.

Family and friends told police that Faleh Hassan Amaleki, 48, a resident of Glendale, had become upset with his daughter because she had become too ‘westernized' and described the hit-and-run as an attempted honor killing.

During the incident, Amaleki also injured his daughter's friend, Amal Edan Khalaf, 43, a resident of Surprise, who is the mother of Noor's boyfriend.

On Oct. 24, Noor's brother, Peter-Ali Almaleki, told CBS 5 News in an exclusive interview that the tension between his father and sister began in the past two years.

“The people she's been living with is what triggered my dad's anger. She (Noor) is married to an Iraqi and lived with him in the Middle East until recently,” Peter said. “After arriving in the U.S., she moved in with a new man and my father didn't approve.”

He said the past two years, his sister has been going out of her way, being disrespectful and he didn't like her new boyfriend.

“For a traditional Muslim family, that disrespect was the ultimate insult to my father,” Peter said.

He said his sister has undergone spinal surgery and there is a chance she may never recover. He also said he does not know where his father is; however, he did call to ask how his sister is and his mother yelled at him and hung up.

Police are still searching for Almaleki, who was last seen driving a gray or silver 2000 Jeep Cherokee with Arizona license plate, ADS-9192.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Tip Line at 623-773-7045 or Silent Witness at 480-948-6377.

Truly disturbing to read that part of the article.
