BECAUSE HE SAID SO

Friends describe Amina and Sarah as quiet but well-liked students at Lewisville High School. They played tennis and soccer and were enrolled in many Advanced Placement classes. "They were extremely smart -- like geniuses," said Allison Villarreal, a senior at Lewisville High, where Amina was a senior and Sarah was a junior.
Liz Marines, secretary of the Lewisville High School Student Council, had classes with both of the sisters and also remembers their scholastic abilities."Amina was very nice with everybody. She helped me in [Advanced Placement English] class," she said. Sarah was a sophomore when she took an Algebra II class with Liz, who was a junior at the time. She said the sisters, who wore typical American clothes, didn't talk much about their family. "I didn't know they were Muslims until she told me they were Egyptian and Muslim," Liz said.

Sounds like another wonderful case of people emigrating into our country and assimilating into our culture, and living the American dream, doesn't it? Well, what happens behind closed doors oft times reveals another story entirely. Two beautiful young girls, good at school, socially adept, even had a My Space blog (linked here). Ironically, in Amina's My Space entry it reads "Don't take life too seriously....you will never get out of it alive." You see, these two girls have had their promising lives snuffed out by a murderous bastard.....allegedly a man they called "Dad." Read on for more horrifying details of what is believed to be a Muslim "honor killing", a chilling practice carried out by their own father, with thanks to "Fish wrap", a blog from the Washington Post, linked here.

Sisters, Amina, 18, and Sarah, 17, were each shot to death. Friends of the girls say their father was Egyptian and critical of popular American lifestyles. "I'm definitely 100% sure that it was her dad that killed her," said Kathleen Wong, a friend of the dead teenagers. Wong says the girl's father was verbally abusive and that Sarah, especially, lived in fear. "She's always told me that she was always so scared of her dad," says Wong. "Even at school if a teacher joked around like, 'I'm gonna tell your parents about this', she would like totally flip out and start crying like, 'please don't tell'."

Police are also looking at the motives which may have led Said to possibly murder his two teenage daughters, one of whom called 911 from a cell phone near the spot where the girls were later found. The girls were 17 and 18, named Sarah and Amina, and police in the affluent Dallas suburb of Las Colinas say he killed them in his own cab and is still armed and considered dangerous.

Police say they are looking into the possibility that the father was upset with his daughters dating activities. The suspect is still at large, and a full picture of the motive probably won't be available until after his capture. It could still turn out that the man is simply crazy for reasons unrelated to the girls' dating activities, though we've been through enough of these stories now to have reason to think it's not simple craziness that led to this.

Numerous incidents indeed. They are calling it "sudden jihad syndrome, whereby normal-appearing Muslims abruptly become violent. "Often times, these attackers are dismissed as suffering from mental health issues, but their own words and writings reveal an affiliation with Islamic supremacy or an affinity for Islamic extremism."
