The media will most likely ignore this aspect of the story. They won’t bury the lede, they’ll ignore it altogether, or if forced to report it, they’ll tell us that Muslims killing Christians as dictated by the “holy Quran” has nothing to do with Islam, despite its millions of victims. They will then follow with “fear of reprisals” segment, fictional narratives about “backlashophobia” and a Hamas-CAIR pull-quote from terror group leader CAIR’s Ibrahim Hooper himself.
“Prosecutors say Irsan orchestrated both murders with assistance from his wife, son, and another daughter.” Apparently none of them stopped and said to him, “Wait! There is no compulsion in religion!”
More on this story. “Hit List Found In Honor Killing Of Iranian Activist,” RFE/RL, May 2, 2015 (thanks to The Religion of Peace) via Jihad Watch
Story continues below advertisementTexas investigators have disclosed that they found a hit list in a murder case involving the honor killing of an outspoken Iranian activist in Houston.
U.S. prosecutors last week charged a Jordanian immigrant and devout Muslim, Ali Awad Mahmoud Irsan, with shooting the anti-Tehran activist Gelerah Bagherzadeh out of rage that she persuaded his daughter to go ahead and marry a Texas Christian man.
The Texan, Coty Beavers, was later found shot to death.Prosecutors say Irsan orchestrated both murders with assistance from his wife, son, and another daughter.
They found a hit list with other possible targets of the conspiracy, including witnesses such as homicide investigators, and Beavers’ relatives.
Irsan’s attorney called the charges “ludicrous.”
“He planned and executed the murder of his daughter’s husband and his daughter’s best friend” because he believed they had “violated his honor as a Muslim,” Harris County District Attorney Devon Anderson said on May 1.
The indictment resolves speculation that the Iranian government was involved in the 2012 murder of Bagherzadeh, who spoke out publicly against Tehran’s repressive tactics after leaving Iran in 2008 and converting to Christianity.

Only big terror attacks that involves bombs or mass murder gets reported in media while crimes like these goes unnoticed…The Jihad is on a much bigger level then you can Imagine and daily they are slaughtering more than 50 people a day,force converting as many people as they can through rape or by sword and overbreeding at the same time and then they gloat the fastest growing religion….What a freaking Joke!
As a devout Muslim I must protest the bigoted and discriminatory bias of this person’s hit list.
Why were there only Christians on it? What about Jews, Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists and all the other varieties of Kuffars?
If Islam is to maintain its reputation as a murderous psychopathic death-cult in an increasingly globalized world, it needs to become more inclusive.
Allahu Akhbar!!!
Mo-Ham-Mud (may pigs blood be upon him) was a pedophile.
It isn’t pedophilia when it’s a spiritual practice. Just ask the English police.
Yup. And of course it all depends on INSH’ALLAH….
Sieg allah!
Kisss emeck ya ack a sub. Y’ill an deen emeck, byyeck, siteck, shideck mugnoon!
As Muslims use their religion to exercise their rights in the US, they will continue to do deeds such as this. Remember the doctrines of Islam run counter to a Constitutional Republic, so how can the two co-exist. They know this. most americans don’t so most Americans buy into the BS of freedom of religion, yet it was out won founding fathers Thomas Jefferson who tangled with these people in the Barbary Wars. He knew they run counter to the principles of the new nation. You didn’t see Jefferson allow them in after doing their kidnapping and murdering of Americans, yet today after 9/11 the US is allowing these people to come in….Once you you let them in it will be difficult to get em out…..
When you bend your laws to accommodate other peoples laws soon those people will bend you to their laws . SAY NO TO SHARIA LAW.
The religion which leaves a trail of the dead strikes again.
► We’ve been killing a lot of people over there for a long time, directly and by proxy, not to mention lavish and nearly unconditional support fo Israel
Oh lookie…. a thread troll.
Lotta that sheeit going around.
Yup….
Tejano, after watching the beheadings, burnings, mass slaughter of Christians and the constant shelling of Israel, the stoning of women, genital mutilation of girls all in the name of islam let me ask you…..
DO YOU CONDONE THESE ATROCITIES?
SHOULD THEY BE STOPPED?
I know you will want to reply with more of the litany you started above but before you do please answer my questions.
DO YOU CONDONE THESE ATROCITIES?
SHOULD THEY BE STOPPED?
Tex, he has a limited vocabulary, and does not have the ability to articulate. He knows a few phrases to irritate folks but other than that he is a muslim with sh$t for brains.
Oh he understands my post and his English doesn’t seem all that limited. He may not want to answer my questions But I can’t say I blame him. Lose/lose.
► I havent condoned any atrocities that I know of.
I think the emergence of ISIS is a result of our wars and proxy wars there
Our attack on Iraq, launched with no credible pretext, led to a million deaths. Is that an atrocity?
We’re trying our best now to overthrow Assad, and ISIS is running wild because of it
Since Pappa Bush we have had a strong Military presence in the whole of the ME as well as allies in Israel, Egypt, and Jordan. During those multiple decades ISIS did not exist.
The minute president Chamberlain skrud up in Libya and Syria, and then pulled out of Iraq, ISIS came into existence backed by Iran once Iran was sure president “Arnold” would do NOTHING to help Israel or stop Iran from their nuclear agenda.
Mr. Texas Stomp, where do you do your stomping. In my hive , we do ” line dancin”.
A little honky tonk down in the old stockyard district :)))))
Fort Worth stockyards? There are some REALLY nice little honky tonks down there.
Yup. Cowtown born and raised. Got my tombstone already set in the family plot….a cement long neck :)))))
Yawl goin be buried standin up like with a bottle in each hand like Shanghai Pierce ?
Just a quick spelling/grammar lesson, TX style.
Y’all, is singular. Not yawl.
All y’all is plural.
I was talkin in plural Sugar, yawl and yawl’s jar. And what do yawl [y’all, that Southern not Texan] think of Gov. Perry
Most of us like him, if for no other reason than he drives the leftists absolutely nuts!
I like him .besides the fact that he/s good lookin, because he no talker.
Good looking? I AM NOT going there! 😎
he did do a great job keeping the TX economy humming along, and in the last 6 years, we have had the number 1 or 2 every year for job creation.
Good looking is very important ! The good economy keeps me in ” high water”.
Where I am at it would be “High Cotton”. Lubbock, TX, at one time in the not too distant past, with a 50 mile radius around the city, produced greater than 60% of the worlds cotton. It has dropped to about 50% now.
Is Lubbock in Texas ? So far North? Been there lots of times. each time has been a disaster. You know there are no motels between Lubbock and Big Springs. However I do love Texas Tec. Medina county..
There most certainly is a motel! In Lamesa! Just off the main drag, it is open nearly every hunting season!
I have stayed there. Still trying to rid my self of fire ants and bed bugs. Remember that great little café the in fork of the road, best food in the Panhandle. Waitress was from Beeville. Always stopped for lunch
.
Classy place, isn’t it? All low, but lot’s of it!
That could be why a friend of mine from Corpus calls me a d@mn Yankee, occasionally!
I use to live in Victoria. I had a Prof. at Huntsville who said,” anything north of Masonville was a Yankee”.
Lubbock, now I know why it’s y’all and not yawl.
Where does that leave pitch and roll?
You tell me. Texans drawl, If you can’t drag out a vowel for less the 10 seconds yawls not a Texan
Never been to sea or flown an aircraft? It was a joke. Yaw, pitch and roll…
Sea ?? What’s water. Darlin, where I live we spend money like water and water like money.
Welll, I’lll admit it was a reachl.
Close but no cigar.
Yaw……
yawl :))))
Yee Haw!
Heh!
Jarhead ? Is that because you drink your shine from a mason jar.?
See the avatar? That is me, in 1978. I’ll let you figure it out from there.
Thank for your [ y’alls] service, Marine !!!!!
You are most welcome.
xxxxxxxxxxoooooooooooo
Aha Yankee Texan from Ft. Worth. I, 2-step at the Quihi Gun and Saddle Club, Quihi, Tx.
Yup tho we spent 10 years in Alpine and my honkytonk was in Lajitas!!! Good times………
Sul Ross Rodeo Team? I was a Sam Houston State girl.
Three of my kids graduated Sul Ross back in the day.
Good school, good team.
You think??? hadn’t noticed from your post
Yes I get that that’s what you “think.” But your conclusion is not supported by fact.
From Reagan and Iran in the early 1980s until obama pulled our forces out of Iraq………ISIS DID NOT EXIST.
Within months of obama backing down to Assad, his MB meddling causing Mubarak’s gov’t to implode, his embassy fiasco in Libya, and his withdrawing our troops in Iraq…
ISIS appeared for the first time. Do the math
► ISIS is probably a reaction to the disbanding of the Iraqi army, the Shia takeover there, and the determination of the U.S. and others to throw everything and the kitchen sink at Assad to bring him down.
The effort to take down Assad is also a direct consequence of the American war. And just as they thought when we invaded, U.S. planners now think they can topple Assad and handle the outcome later.
We all know Saddam was so much better…just ask the Kurds!
ISIS taking over Iraq is probably a result of the Iraqis hating the Baghdad leadership combined with the premature US pullout. Then when ISIS rolled in and decided to FGM all the women, behead everybody, and smash all the buildings, along with destroying what infrastructure existed, it was too late for the Iraqis to do anything about it and now they are all dead or subjected.
► You don’t want to blame the U.S. for the invasion of Iraq and the consequences?
the muslim version of “da debbil made me do it.”
Knock yourself out. Keep excusing these animals. You’ll grow old and die with an unfinished “to do” list.
Head nod.
Perhaps your reading comprehension is limited.
Here, let me help you……
To EXCUSE atrocities
To BLAME the victims
IS CONDONING TERRORISM AND IS TANTAMOUNT TO AIDING AND ABETTING TERRORISTS.
BIK?
Of course he does.
Clark Gable didn’t say that. Osama Bin Laden did. Gable would kick you ace for using his image.
► Well, excuse me, Pam
► Thanks for the information, and don’t blame America
there is no excuse for you. This has nothing to do with your slums 2500 miles away. This is a chit here in the US killing people because their skirt was too short and they chose freedom.
Pindostan has been giving unconditional support to pikestine to build hospitals, schools water/sewer and the pikostines use it to buy missiles and kil.their own people. The Chi ites slaughter non-Chi ilights and you act as if we are standing there. Go talk to Oblabla.
Would Gable have known ,looking, which end to kick? The similarities of the ends are so alike..
Yes, “unconditional support” for the only democracy in the Mid-East and N. Africa, the only country which doesn’t allow muslo-nazis to kill, persecute, rape, enslave non-muslims w/impunity.
► Its mostly democratic, except for the newer districts
Classic Tu Quoque fallacy of argumentation, but when you’re defending izlam, that’s all you’ve got.
“Over there” was formerly Christian, then the Islamic Crusades came around 632AD or so …. just talk to a Coptic Christian in Egypt… there could even be a few left in Iraq/Iran and even Palestine!
saw NOTHING of this murder in ANY news outlet.
The media can’t bring itself to report the truth about islamism.
The truth would interfere with their propaganda.
They must think that their heads will stay attached to their necks longer if they appease as much as they can and tolerate the intolerable.
“An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last.” Winston Churchill
Live in hope, die in vain.
And I’ll let that croc have at them!
Death penalty for al involve. it should be public
Looks like an Abrahamic religion free-for-all!
Simple arguments for simpletons.
American law is not up to the task of dealing with these murderous criminals. For their crimes, we will house them, feed them, give them free medical & dental services, educate them, complete with TV & sometimes free cable, offer free legal counsel, honor their religion with paid clergy…etc…and this somehow is defined by us as “punishment”?! Compared to their living conditions in their proverty stricken countries, the American dream for them is to come to United States, kill some people just to be put up in our “Prisions”…what a deal!!
The FALSE PAGANISM OCCULT-IDEOLOGY of islam is evil / satanic / demonic and NOT a religion!!
► Oh, it’s a religion. A monotheistic Abrahamic religion
Do you think Mormonism is an Abrahamic religion?
► Yes, I think it is
Just because mo-ham-head claimed his religion was Abrahamic doesn’t make so. After all, he REJECTED out of hand the Torah because it was corrupted by the Islam’s favorite (cough) people, the Jews.
Outraged, and Outrageous

PAMELA GELLER’S apartment, in the fashion of the blogosphere, doubles as her office. It is a modern full-floor unit in a high-rise on the East Side of Manhattan that could belong to a socialite or the editor of a lifestyle magazine. There is ample light and a tasteful lack of clutter. The kitchen appliances are made of brushed steel; the countertops are slate. In the earth-toned living room hangs a painting, in vibrant colors, of a woman in a swimsuit.
It is in this genteel setting that Ms. Geller, 52 and a single mother of four, wakes each morning shortly after 7, switches on her laptop and wages a form of holy war through Atlas Shrugs, a Web site that attacks Islam with a rhetoric venomous enough that PayPal at one point branded it a hate site. Working here — often in fuzzy slippers — she has called for the removal of the Dome of the Rock from atop the Temple Mount in Jerusalem; posted doctored pictures of Elena Kagan, the Supreme Court justice, in a Nazi helmet; suggested the State Department was run by “Islamic supremacists”; and referred to health care reform as an act of national rape.
Ms. Geller has been writing since 2005, but this summer she skyrocketed to national prominence as the firebrand in chief opposing Park51, the planned Muslim community center she denounces as “the ground zero mega-mosque.”
Operating largely outside traditional Washington power centers — and, for better or worse, without traditional academic, public-policy or journalism credentials — Ms. Geller, with a coterie of allies, has helped set the tone and shape the narrative for a divisive national debate over Park51 (she calls the developer a “thug” and a “lowlife”). In the process, she has helped bring into the mainstream a concept that after 9/11 percolated mainly on the fringes of American politics: that terrorism by Muslims springs not from perversions of Islam but from the religion itself. Her writings, rallies and television appearances have both offended and inspired, transforming Ms. Geller from an Internet obscurity, who once videotaped herself in a bikini as she denounced “Islamofascism,” into a media commodity who has been profiled on “60 Minutes” and whose phraseology has been adopted by Newt Gingrich and Sarah Palin.
FOR Ms. Geller, the battle against Park51 is only part of a much larger crusade in which she is joined by an influential if decentralized coalition that includes former generals, new-media polemicists, researchers and evangelicals who view Islam as a politically driven religion, barbaric at its core and expansionist by nature. Her closest partner is Robert Spencer, the proprietor of Jihadwatch.org. Incorporation papers for their American Freedom Defense Initiative list as founding members Anders Gravers, a Danish “anti-Islamization” activist (“Jihad is the knife slicing the salami of freedom”) and John Joseph Jay (“There are no innocents in Islam”). Their lawyer, David Yerushalmi, has sought to criminalize the practice of Islam, when defined as adherence to Shariah, Islamic religious law.
This loose-knit cadre’s vision of Islam in an age of terror is not unlike a cold war view of Communism: a stealthy global threat creeping into nodes of power that must be opposed at all cost. “In the war between the savage and the civilized man,” Ms. Geller says, “you side with the civilized man.”
It remains unclear how much Ms. Geller is driving opposition to the Islamic center and how much she reflects it — polls suggest most Americans oppose the project — but her involvement can hardly be ignored. Atlas Shrugs, which gets about 200,000 unique visitors a month, helped draw thousands to protests against Park51 on June 6 and Sept. 11. Ms. Geller, supported by a divorce settlement and blog advertisements, also played an important role in winning the resignation in 2007 of Debbie Almontaser, a Muslim principal who started an Arabic-language public school in Brooklyn; brought 200 people to Ohio last year to support Rifqa Bary, a Muslim girl who accused her parents of abuse; and helped draw vociferous objectors to a hearing this summer on a since-scrapped proposal for a mosque on Staten Island.
In conversation, Ms. Geller habitually refers to herself as a “racist-Islamophobic-anti-Muslim-bigot” — all one word in her pronunciation — which hints at her sense of humor and her evident frustration at her public persona. She wields a similarly broad brush against opponents, using terms like “diabolical” and “stealth jihadist” even for people like the journalist Christiane Amanpour and the Republican operative Grover Norquist.
The outrageous and the solemn are deeply intertwined in her character. Ms. Geller admits to using Atlas Shrugs to test topics significant (the conflict in Sudan) and outlandish (that a young Barack Obama slept with “a crack whore”). She has taken up arms against “honor killings” as well as against a Disneyland employee who fought to wear a head scarf. She inspires laughs at sites like Loonwatch, but critics say her influence is serious: a spreading fear of Islam and a dehumanization of Muslims comparable to the sometimes-violent anti-Semitism and anti-Catholicism of earlier eras. Even some of her former right-wing allies say she has gone too far.
“I think she’s enabling a real bigotry — a lot of people are convinced by the propaganda she repeats like a mantra,” said Charles Johnson, who runs the blog Little Green Footballs, where Ms. Geller got her start as a frequent commenter. “Nine-eleven didn’t happen in a vacuum — it came from a long history. But when people like Pam Geller are the loudest voices out there talking about it, it drowns out everything else and makes everyone look crazy.”

Love it. Seems Ms Pamela has you Muslim goat humper asslifters on the run. You terrorist scum sucking bastards got it rough now. The eye is now on you “NUMBNUTS” kISS EMECK YA ACK A SUB
Saracen trash… .
Hmmm, that’s funny, I just heard this mentioned on CNN, while I was reading the article. Guess you were WRONG.
Sad story but at least not untypical, witnessed a similar case in Cairo where a women was killed. At the time of my stay in Cairo 2006-2008 I could witness a proceeding islamisation of the society and a growing dominance of the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamist radicals but it is also undeniable that the ‘average Muslim’ is not objecting such hate crimes … the laws in Egypt are discriminating other religions or atheism … in consequence I can not see a clear difference between Islam and Islamism, it is blurred line between both, and it does not matter so much for the victims if this line exists or not. I would like to express my support for Mrs. Geller and can’t find any radical or hate tendencies in her views of Islam … (unfortunately) just realistic. I would appreciate if more than One Billion people would be able to reflect their believes and would express their strong preference for a peaceful discussion of different opinions.
