We see the left’s handiwork all around us these days: homeless encampments, cannabis stores, rising crime, and so much more. Seattle’s KOMO News last Wednesday gave us another reason to thank our leftist bureaucrats and elected officials as it told a harrowing story: “Two Lacey parents are facing criminal charges, including assault, attempted murder and attempted kidnapping, after several bystanders had to step in to stop a father from strangling his daughter outside a school.”
Why would the horrific prospect of a father attempting to strangle his daughter be the result of the left’s policies? Because this was an attempted Islamic honor killing, that is, a killing carried out in accord with the teachings of the religion that the left insists is peaceful and tolerant, on pain of charges of “Islamophobia,” and professional and possibly even personal ruin.
In Lacey, Washington, the daughter who was brutalized by her father, and her mother as well, was seventeen years old. Her parents, Ihsan and Zahraa Ali, “were both arrested after the confrontation, and court records indicate it could be related to a possible ‘honor killing.’”
It seems that the Alis’ daughter “told investigators her father had recently been threatening her with an ‘honor killing’ after she refused to go to another country for an arranged marriage with an older man. She reportedly went to her school for help, which then led to the confrontation outside.” The other country was Iraq, where the girl was to be married to a much older man. For her not wanting to do this, Ihsan Ali tried to choke his daughter to death outside Timberline High School, which she attended, but was stopped by a group of witnesses, parents and students.
One witness recounted: “What I saw was the adult male had the teenager in a headlock, choking her from the back, so I removed his arm from her, and then she got up and ran with another kid, who come to find out, was her boyfriend and she was the daughter of the adult male. So then I just held him on the ground till the police arrived and then handcuffed him and searched him and then moved him to the police car.” He added: “It was pretty angering. I didn’t know what was going on, why it was happening.”
Here’s why. Neither KOMO News nor any other establishment media outlet will tell you, but I will. The Alis’ daughter hadbeen resisting being sent to Iraq for an arranged marriage to an older man. This meant that she was disobedient to her parents as well as Allah, who placed them in charge over her. That disobedience carries a steep price. In the Qur’an, a mysterious figure, known as Khidr in Islamic tradition, kills a boy in an apparently random and gratuitous attack. He then explains: “And as for the boy, his parents were believers, and we feared that he would overburden them by transgression and disbelief. So we intended that their Lord should substitute for them one better than him in purity and nearer to mercy.” (18:80-81)
Also, according to Islamic law, “retaliation is obligatory against anyone who kills a human being purely intentionally and without right.” However, “not subject to retaliation” is “a father or mother (or their fathers or mothers) for killing their offspring, or offspring’s offspring.” (Reliance of the Traveller o1.1-2). In the world in which Ihsan and Zahraa Ali were likely raised, no one would think of punishing parents or even looking askance at them for killing their disobedient child. There is no punishment for parents in such cases.
Muslims commit 91 percent of honor killings worldwide. The Palestinian Authority gives pardons or suspended sentences for honor murders. Iraqi women have asked for tougher sentences for Islamic honor murderers, who get off lightly now. Syria in 2009 scrapped a law limiting the length of sentences for honor killings, but “the new law says a man can still benefit from extenuating circumstances in crimes of passion or honour ‘provided he serves a prison term of no less than two years in the case of killing.’” And in 2003 the Jordanian Parliament voted down on Islamic grounds a provision designed to stiffen penalties for honor killings. Al-Jazeera reported that “Islamists and conservatives said the laws violated religious traditions and would destroy families and values.”
Thanks to the left’s refusal to face the harsh realities of Islam and its open-door mass migration imperative, honor killing has now become a feature of the American landscape. The attempted murder in Lacey, Washington was by no means the first. It will not be the last.
What a misnomer. In the West, these are DIShonor killings. There have been cases where the murdered daughter’s sin was simply refusing to veil or wear a hijab. Muslims appear to hold their womenfolk’s lives very cheap, worth less than a piece of cloth on their head.
I will grant them that it is not a cheap piece of cloth but a hallowed (in their world) symbol of religious affiliation.
Nevertheless, this ruthless behavior does not belong in the USA.
It is a symbol of their complete dehumanization of all females, so no, I wouldn’t grant them any such concession.
You are so right. Even the mothers of Muslim girls are known to assist in these ‘honor killings’, which are generally more about money than ‘honor’. The old men trying to purchase child brides offer the parents a large amount of money and the girls are forced to comply. Not too surprising considering there’s NOT even a word in Arabic for DAUGHTER….
Hang high both parents. That may teach their “coreligionists” filth an important lesson.
Hear, hear! 🍻🇺🇸
And leave the bodies to dangle on display for several months.
The ye olde British way. It was effective.
And feed them a ham sandwitch first…
This is just another reason we don’t want Islam and Sharia Laws forced upon us and why the 1st Amendment Prophibit’s Established Religion
Yes, “Islam”, and Sharia Laws are simply not compatible with our Judeo/Christian culture, as seen in this example, but also with the hijab, and blocking entire streets for daily prayers, etc. Is there a :”moderate Islam”? Perhaps, but the moderates won’t fight the fanatics.
The Left support of Islam and not Christianity, is a lesson in hypocrisy, and will ultimately turn on them as we see in France and England where Islam is slowly taking over. With the birth rate disparity, it’s not hard to see parts of Western Europe become “Islamic”, like Turkey.
Trump will probably have an indirect impact on this criminal nonsense, although states like Washington and Oregon will try to block any federal influence.
The father will probably “get off” with a slap on the wrist.
Judeo Christian is an oxymoron
You would be locked in prison for writing this article in the UK.
What about reading this article in the UK?
I’ll find Out soon.
Uk is now a Muslim country. British citizens almost have to submit to these Muslims over there. just look at London’s mayor.
Or eating bacon for breakfast. 🙂
It’s in the koran. How dare Americans try to prevent this ackbarbarian from fulfilling his religious duties? We wouldn’t prevent a Catholic from praying the Rosary, or a Jew from lighting Shabbat candles! If one of allahu’s ackbarbarians wants to honor his family via his child, who are we to say no?
What? The Koran does not override our laws.
that is a hard fact, Jack.
It doesn’t do so yet.
Duh, it’s sarcasm. Usually women don’t get it.
I’m all for getting rid of Muslims but I had deportation in mind rather than letting the parents kill off their offspring.
Maybe our new President will take care of it, I hope.
Irony and sarcasm doesn’t resonate in the states.
I wonder what it would be like to get through a single day without a cheap shot about America?? By the way, make it “irony and sarcasm DON’T resonate in the states”, just to help you out with correct grammar.
I don’t know whether your are serious with this post, but if you are, explain to me why it’s acceptable to strangle your daughter with a rosary or burn your daughter with a Shabbat candle for refusing to marry someone. These practices are barbarian, backward, and above all un-American. They contradict everything the 18th century Enlightenment and humanism were about. If these folks are sincere, they need to go back home where they can blow themselves up on the name of Allah and leave the rest of us in peace.
Look up sarcasm in the dictionary
We are the human beings with both a conscience and regard for life. These people are nothing more than part of a murderous death cult.
Use your brain as it needs a thorough sweeping of the BS you’re erroneously speaking. Saying a Rosary doesn’t kill someone; neither does lighting Shabbat candles.
Being an idiot, and you are, might fly elsewhere but not here.
Another female who doesn’t understand sarcasm
Thanks for publishing this information. Otherwise we will remain ignorant of the savages in our midst.
In former times when social lines were more rigid, if a Jewish child married out her family might say, “She’s dead to me,” but I’m unaware of any case where the family took that literally.
It will be interesting to see what feminists in Washington state say about this, if anything.
They will say… Nothing or find a Way to attribute it to White supremacy!!
Those who are saved by Yeshua Messiah Lord Jesus Christ are guided by YHVH’S HOLY SPIRIT and the Holy Word of YHVH the Bible – those who have done, do and will do in the myzzlym faith are guided by lozrfr-zatan and his vile demons – they are possessed – their beliefs from the vile demonic teachings in their koran are anti any common sense critical thinking –
Abraham should not have listened to his wife Sara who grew weary of being patient for a child and sent Abraham to Sara’s hand maiden for a child and poor 100 year old Abraham like any man grown weary from his wife’s bitching, to shut her up went and knocked up Hagar – 100 years old and no Viagra?
Genesis 16:
1 Now Sarai Abram’s wife bare him no children: and she had an handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.
2 And Sarai said unto Abram, Behold now, the Lord hath restrained me from bearing: I pray thee, go in unto my maid; it may be that I may obtain children by her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai.
Genesis 16:12 And he will be a wild donkey of a man; his hand will be against everyone and everyone’s hand against him, and he will live in hostility toward all his brothers
So here we are – Ishmael and Isaac are half brothers – and Ishmael’s decedents hand has been after Hebrews and everyone else as well as each other – and we see when there are no Jews and no one else outside of their own, they attack and kill their own! They rape the women and children and they torture and behead their own.
I read where November is izzlylam phobia month – I am totally izzylam phobic not only in November but 24/7 365 days a year and 366 days on leap year – and I am fed up since 10-7-2023 and the tsunami of antisemitism since and the fools who protest for izzylam would be the first tortured and brutally murdered by izzylam!
Send those fools on a paid trip to an izzylam nation and see how long they last – make the trip one way of course!
Some Scandinavian and Eastern European nations are banning a lot of izzylam customs as well as people coming from these izzylam nations and deporting many!
USA has to get on board with this!
God has set His “plumb line” showing the unchanging right and wrong of human behavior, Throw away the plumb line and a kind of amoral insanity sets in.
See any blue jurisdiction for the practical illustration of the above.
President Trump tried to keep Muslims out of this country. Die the majority of Jews vote for him or for the Hamas enablers?
Liberal Jews hate themselves and vote for Their extermination
WARNING!
The Muslim menace is here! Today, now and expanding fast!
American birth rates are declining fast, where Muslim birth rates are climbing extremely fast. Be careful, America.
Although our Constitution forbids an “established” religion, the vast majority of Americans are Christians, at least in name. The Scriptures forbid honor killings. Murder is forbidden by the “10 Commandments”. American culture forbid it also.
Some of the comments seem to imply that a religion or belief can dictate what is acceptable and if it is unacceptable the religion can bless the death penalty. So if you are a satanic worshippers child sacrifice is ok? Some Nazis were executed for their crimes against humanity. Genocide continues to this day in the name of religion. Apparently “crimes against humanity “ has to be measured by what groups are involved. Some groups cannot commit these acts and some can. In the minds of the beholder. Common Sense is overrated- right?
This happened five miles frm my home. I am pleased to see the local response to this. If this were King Couny the clown would likely not have been stopped, and his Daughter would now be dead.
I m pleased because some bypassers happened to be passing by, saw what was coming down, and PERSONALLY INTERVENED and ended the threat. Further, the Lacey coppers DID THEI JOB, arresting and charging he perpetrators. Had this been inside Olympia insead if Lacey I question what their response would have been.. NO reponse? Let the perp go with a warning?
I hope the daughter will now be protected from further harm. She should move out of the area, as not just the blood family will be happy to “finish the job”. Seems they are a very close community and despite the fact the parents are in the lockup for now, the rest of their “community of faith (lies) will be sure to finish what the sorry excuse of a father has begun and declared what was just. I do no believe whe will be safe anywhere in Thurston County. Those sorts have LING memories and her “crime” is serious in heir eyes, and must be avenged. Any one of them can and likely would step up and “finish the job”. their olla god is vicious and unforgiving.
She needs to meet a new God.. The One who is forgiving and gracious and does only good to His own.

Alas, not only the left insists as though islam were a peaceful and tolerant religion. It was Bush-the-Junior who did it just a week after the 9/11/2001. Bush – the traitor!
I agree with the article’s analysis of lefts corruption.
However I disagree with the condemnation of cannabis. I personally don’t smoke and don’t drink. Well, maybe a shot of whiskey once every few months. But I can’t accept the hypocrisy of allowing alcohol and forbidding cannabis. This is too much government for my taste.
As for everything else I agree with the article. The left has indeed devastated our culture and our cities.
You’re right of course that a gov’t that bans cannabis and allows alcohol is hypocritical, but the gov’t reflects the will of the “people” (right or wrong).
The problem here is the “people” don’t want to give-up the drug induced satisfaction they get from drugs and alcohol (and yes, cannabis is a drug), in spite of the large number of deaths, injuries, and personal tragedies that come from their use.
Cannabis use is wide spread now and growing, and is just another chemical coping mechanism for avoiding life’s challenges and responsibilities. With current trends, cannabis will be legalized across the country is a few years and we will have even more “death from impairment”, and addiction problems.
This is simply another prime example of how greed and selfish desire over-comes prudent behavior.
Moslems should be repatriated back to the Middle East. They should not be allowed in any European or Western country, certainly not the U.S. Mosques need to be closed and razed. This country WAS NOT FOUNDED FOR THEM and they are INCOMPATIBLE with Western Civilization.
President Victor Orban in Hungary limits Immigration to NON MUSLIMS only and Hungary is beautiful and safe, a top tourist attraction and the Hungarian people are valued and protected and even encouraged to have more children. Their churches have not been burned to the ground and no one prays in the streets. But Hungary is called Racist and Islamophobic by the EU, and the UN says nothing about 16 Muslim countries banning Jews !
Yet. (That was going to be all I wrote, but the site bots wouldn’t let me post such a short comment).
These muslim honour killings are not uncommon in Great Britain over recent years along with acid attacks on women who have transgressed Islamic teachings. The National Health Service has also seen tens of thousands of FGM victims something never seen in Britain before decades of mass immigration from Islamic countries.
Sharia law allows and even encourages the brutal, cruel malicious action of cold blooded murder so very inappropriately called “honor killing.”
There is nothing in actual honor about such a malice- filled in such a despicable horrendous vicious murderous action of evil.
This wicked Islamic sanctioned deadly affront of “honor killing” is often done for the most absurd “reasons.”
As for example, refusing to wear an Islamic veil or not going along with a prearranged marriage.
This is so completely evil that concerning the vile crime of rape, the victim who was raped has been put to death and not the man who raped her. That is worse than terrible miscarriage of justice. It’s a totally bizarre, unfair Islamic practice of evil that’s an outrageous affront to all that is good decent and right.
To such an irrational and wickedness and madness of punishing the victim of a crime and not the criminal, the Bible teaches “The Lord hates those two things: punishing the innocent and letting the guilty go free.” Proverbs 17:15. [E.R.V.]
“Islamic culture “ is so very savage cruel ,brutal vicious and murderous that it’s not really a genuine “culture.”
As observed in that malicious and brutal cruel murderous action that is unfittingly called “honor killing” is an affront to all that is actually just, good, humane and right.
To put this in another way, Islamic “culture” is not actually a real culture but cruel savage primitive murderous system of brutal religious vicious violence. As seen in that malicious murder “custom” called “honor killing” which is permitted under Sharia law.
Be that vicious murderous action take place in Afghanistan and Pakistan, in any other Islamic country and now even some Western nations.
About the topic of Islamic violence which, something, takes the form of the brutal cruel vicious and murderous action that is so inappropriately called “honor killing.” This malicious misogyny is so heinous callous and malice- filled that it’s an affront to all that is good, decent and right. In addition, the author, Brigitte Gabriel in her book which is entitled THEY MUST BE STOPPED on pages 171,172 , that “The shocking reality is that most Muslim men ,including those educated in the West ,have no objection to the degradation of women in their countries .Across the Muslim world, even in moderate Islamic countries, women’s’ rights are almost nonexistent…Women is Islam are considered unclean ,deemed inferior even to dirt.” In this just cited book it explains on page 176 that “Honor killings have also come to the West thanks to the rise of Islamic immigration. “
Indeed, they must be stopped !
