Apparently Abdulrahman Zeitoun was following religious dictates. Don't arrest him. Obama say, "Respect it!"
Wife Abuse Rap Casts Shadow On "Zeitoun" Hero Smoking Gun (hat tip Bill R)
Subject of lauded Dave Eggers book copped last year to attack
JANUARY 31–The New Orleans man whose post-Hurricane Katrina heroics and tribulations were chronicled by best-selling author Dave Eggers in the book “Zeitoun” was convicted last year of battering his wife, who told police that she had received several prior beatings, but never called cops on her spouse.

According to a New Orleans Police Department report, Abdulrahman Zeitoun, 54, was arrested last March after officers responded to a domestic battery call at the Uptown home of his wife Kathryn and the couple’s five children.
Upon arriving at the Dart Street residence, cops found Kathryn face down on the living room floor holding an ice-filled cloth to her forehead. Three of her children were nearby “crying hysterically,” police reported.
Kathryn Zeitoun, 40, told officers that she was separated from her husband “due to finances,” and that he was living next door in a home on Dart Street. She said that after her estranged husband entered the home around 6:30 PM on March 2, they got into a “heated verbal argument” that quickly became physical.
Zeitoun told cops that her husband pushed her to the living room floor, “mounting her and hitting her in the back of the head with a closed fist.” She added that, “her face was smashed into the floor of the residence several times during the battery,” police reported.
The assault ended when the couple’s 15-year-old daughter–responding to her mother’s screams for help–kicked her father in the neck, causing him to fall off Kathryn and flee the residence. The teen said she observed her father “beating her mother.” A second daughter interviewed by cops corroborated statements by her mother and sister (the child watched the entire assault from the kitchen).
Before an ambulance arrived to transport her to Tulane University Hospital, Kathryn told officers that she has “received beatings from her husband several times prior,” but that she “never reported them to the police out of fear.” The police report does not include further details of these alleged prior attacks.

BBC Jan 30th 2012: Afghan woman is killed “for giving birth to a girl”
A woman in north-eastern Afghanistan has been arrested for allegedly strangling her daughter-in-law for giving birth to a third daughter.
The murdered woman’s husband, a member of a local militia, is also suspected of involvement but he has since fled.
The murder took place two days ago in Kunduz province. The baby girl, who is now two months old, was not hurt.
Her ownerhusband did tell her that he didn’t want another girl child. She did disobey him by having one.

The medical facilities are better in Nablus than in Kunduz, so Fakestinian men may not have to wait until the birth before killing a wife who is disrespectful and disobedient to her husband by carrying an unwanted girl child: ultrasound can be used to establish that she has impugned his honour by her disobedience and deserves death at his hand.

Now the former wife and daughters are all in danger of being honor killed. I hope (tho it’s unlikely) the police or some authority lock this guy up and provide the women-folk some form of security somewhere…

If the cops don’t lock him up, the exact time and place of his release will be appreciated.

I love Muslim men. They’re so brave when beating the crap out of someone weaker than them. But when they get arrested for murdering a female family member in the U.S., they cry like little girls.
Ah, Islam!

no kidding it “casts shadow” over this TV station. they jsut follow the Quran 4.4 the station is just featuring Misunderstanders of Islam who are acutally correct ones. over 90% of Pakistani wives have been beaten by their husbands; likewise, over 75% of Algerian wives have been so abused. Over 30% of domestic violence in Jordan is consumned aganist wivess under 18. Islam, the religion of peace? you decide.

OMG. So this imam is saying that the husband is only allowed to beat his wife in order to rape her, and that is how Islam honors women? Maybe all of that depleted uranium dropped on the Arabs has taken away all of their sense.
I like how the fifteen year old daughter kicked her dirty dad in the neck and saved her mother’s life. I think that is what they should all be thinking of doing. If the Koran says not to beat a woman above the chest, then they should wack the guy in the head with a pot if he doens’t follow the rules, if they need to be observant.
Some of these Muslim women are pretty big and mean. I kind of don’t see the black convert ones being down with that. Where in the Koran does it say that a woman may not beat up her husband? I think they should go for it, self defense.
Notice the wife’s name is Katherine, so she is some white American lady most likely who feels the need to respect other cutlures. Lot of good this does people.

Why do muslim men like it when their wives wear hijab? Because it hides the bruises.

When are muslim women going to start defending their lives. You can carry a lot of weapons underneath all that garb. They could bury the bastards in the desert and tell others he ran off with another wife.
