The FBI and the Honor Killings

There are those who are upset with the FBI for not calling the murders of Amina and Sarah Said by their father an honor killing. Some are even saying that the FBI is crawling in bed with CAIR on this issue because of what they have said. I cannot blame them in regards to their feelings on this. On the surface a person can see their point especially at this time where there are those who would seek to impose their religious beliefs upon us and the world.

My feelings are just as strong and deep about these murders. I have said I actually hope that someone catches the guy before the police do and we find that a little vigilante justice has been done first. This I’ll admit. I’ll even go as far as say that this is one case where I believe the death penalty would be a reward rather than justice. This is one case where I’d like to see a man live out his life in a continuous state of torture. I would even advocate that it be a public occurrence.

I do have to disagree with those who are angry with the FBI for what they did. I also think that once we control our feelings we will realize that the FBI was right in rescinding their accusation of naming it as an honor killing. We will also see that it isn’t because the FBI is playing the part of a dhimmi to CAIR but are actually abiding by a way of life we have chosen for ourselves.

We need to remember we have a system of justice where no one man is to be judge, jury and executioner. We need to remember that each phase of our system is separated from the other and that those persons within each phase are limited in their power and authority. Most important to remember is that there is a very delicate balance in these phases. The determination of the type of crime it is to be called is an element of this delicate balance.

The determination of the type of crime of it is within the authority of the prosecution phase not within the authority of the investigation phase. It was a mistake on the part of the FBI to call it an honor killing in the first place. The FBI, as the investigation phase, will be called to the witness stand to testify. The defense attorney will be looking for any mistakes that they made to justify their attempt to bring about a verdict or decision that favors their client. This mistake could end up playing a part in it. Moreover, remember that more than likely this despicable piece of dirt will have the best of lawyers that CAIR can hire to defend him.

So, my friends, I ask of you not to allow your emotions to judge the FBI harshly in regards to this. They made a mistake and are trying to rectify it. In fact, they deserve our respect for acknowledging their mistake in the first place. Show a little patience with them also. If you think about it you’ll know and believe that the FBI wants this man just as bad as you and I do. They are fathers and mothers of children too and they have the same feelings as we do when it comes to how kids are treated. I have to believe this if I am to believe in the way of life we have chosen and I ask that you do also.
