The left has been working for years on the world we live in now, and all around us we can see the fruit of their labors: dirty, dangerous cities, homeless encampments, cannabis stores, rising crime, and so much more. New York’s WABC on Friday gave us another reason to thank our leftist bureaucrats and elected officials as it told a harrowing story: “A man is under arrest on Friday in a gruesome homicide on Long Island after his wife was found dead and suffering from facial burns — covered with a chemical substance.”
Why would the horrific prospect of a husband murdering his wife be the result of the left’s policies? Because this was an 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 Herricks, Long Island, “authorities say Aleena Asif, 46, was suffocated with a cyanide-like compound by her estranged husband, who was stalking her after she demanded a divorce.” And now “her husband, 53-year-old Asif Qureshi, was arraigned on second degree murder charges on Friday morning and held without bail as a flight risk. Prosecutors said they will ask a grand jury to indict him on first degree murder charges.”
The WABC report sets out the details of the case with chilling succinctness, its matter-of-fact reportage failing to conceal what must have been months of fear and terror for Aleena Asif: “The two fought over money and their multiple homes, and Qureshi agreed to a separation agreement in late 2024. Asif request a full divorce this summer. On October 9, he was served divorce papers, which he refused to take. He began showing up at her house, starting the next day, and multiple subsequent dates, in a pattern of stalking, officials say. Authorities allege he entered her home last Friday, waited for his wife to drop off the children at school, and then killed her.”
Asif Qureshi, a naturalized American citizen, “has one prior arrest for a domestic incident with his wife, which is sealed. His five prior domestic incidents date back to 2023, four with his wife and one with his daughter. He once allegedly threatened to force her to swallow bleach. No orders of protection had been issued.”
WABC doesn’t get into why Qureshi might have felt justified in doing all this. The Qur’an says: “Men have authority over women because Allah has made the one superior to the other, and because they spend their wealth to maintain them. Good women are obedient. They guard their unseen parts because Allah has guarded them. As for those from whom you fear disobedience, admonish them and send them to beds apart and beat them.” (4:34)
The Qur’an doesn’t allow a man to kill his wife. According to Islamic law, however, “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).
And 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)
A man can kill his impious child and not fear punishment, and he cannot kill his impious wife? Maybe not, but anothertradition has Muhammad saying: “A man should not be asked about why he beat his wife.” (Mishkat al-Masabih 3268) That is, what he does with her is his business.
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 honor murder on Long Island was by no means the first. It will not be the last.
A class A honor killing murderer is right in line with class A false religion like Islam. WTF are we doing to ourselves?
Suicide my fried … cutting our own throats as well as our posterity. Our founders would be SO proud. Pretty damn sad.
More reasons we don’t want Sharia Laws forced upon us and we don’t want Islam forced upon us either tell them to Go back to where they came from
That diabolical Islamic action of “honor killing” is upheld by Islam’s Sharia. with is based in Islam.
Therefore, it should be known that the real origin of Sharia had been revealed in a Time –Life book with the title MESOPOTAMIA: THE MIGHTY KINGS copyright 1995 ” For that future history book about the ancient pagan world of Mesopotamia informs the reader that “many Islamic laws resemble the Babylon and Assyrian forebears.” .page 150.
Therefore, Sharia is of pagan origin and therefore has no value or worth.
Furthermore ,be that vicious murderous action of “honor killing “ takes place in Iran or 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. “ As seen in that deadly incident in the UK
Indeed, they must be stopped !
“Islamic culture” is not really a genuine culture. As observed in that so very savage cruel, brutal vicious and murderous that it’s not really an actual, genuine, culture but a result of a primitive deadly religion , because of its wicked Islamic practice of “honor killing.”
First, the terrible term “honor killing” is alone a dishonest term. For there is no honor, at all, in a malice -filled murder of a young female. Just giving an evil action a better sounding title doesn’t change the wicked nature of it. It’s like scrapping off the label of that jar of cyanide which reads “Danger Poison” and replacing on that jar another label that reads “ Apple Juice.” That doesn’t change the deadly content in that jar. As it has been wisely said that “Evil is always looking for an excuse.”
Second, the horrible reality is that Islam is able to in a sinister way, warp the cognation of the human mind that a man might even feel and think that a cold-blooded murder of a helpless young girl or woman is something that is “good” That’s outright demonic. So much so that it’s a reflection of the words found in the Bible in Isaiah 5:20. Which read “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil; who put darkness for light and light for darkness…” [N.K.J.V.]
Third. , the Muslim father who so vicious ,because of his religion that his wants to murder his own daughter in a so called ‘honor killing” and feels no remorse or guilt about the horrendously evil actions that they committed are so very heartless because ,as the Bible reveals they have had “their own conscience seared with a hot iron” First Timothy 4:2.
In that situation, that “hot iron” is Islam.
Forth , but not less important than the other three points is to have the knowledge that this brutal, callous cruel, malice-filled and murderous Islamic tradition that so very inappropriately called “honor killing” by many Muslims in one of the many malicious and vicious deadly fruits of Islam.
Jesus taught, “By their fruits you will know them” Matthew 7:20.
Clearly “Islamic culture “ is so very savage cruel ,brutal vicious and murderous that it’s not really a genuine “culture, it’s an abomination.
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.
Islamofascist is a worse version of Nazism
I recommend Raymond Ibrahim’s book ‘Sword and Scimitar’, which covers the abominations carried out on Christians, in the name of islam, over the 1400 years of its existence. In particular, the so-called Golden age of islam in Spain, where the indigenous Christian population was persecuted, murdered, robbed, taken into slavery and sexually mistreated for over 800 years.
I think this is what is going to happen to us if more of us don’t wake up and put a stop to islam’s invasion of our countries. The destruction in Spain by the ‘moors’ is almost beyond comprehension. And this was hundreds of years before the Crusades began.
What part of an allegation that a father tried to get his daughter to swallow bleach could possibly not warrant child protection? My mind is boggling out of its socket.
