A father who beheaded his 14-year-old daughter while she slept in an honour killing that shocked Iran has been jailed for just nine years.

Her death sparked widespread outrage with media condemning the ‘institutionalised violence’ in the Islamic republic.
Her father, who remains unnamed, has today been jailed for nine years despite Romina’s mother, Rana Dashti, demanding the death penalty.

‘Despite the judicial authorities’ insistence on a “special handling” of the case, the verdict has terrified me and my family,’ Dashti told ILNA.
‘I don’t want my husband to return to our village ever again,’ she said, calling for the verdict to be reviewed and changed to ‘execution’.
Dashti, who lived with the man for 15 years, added that she now fears for the life of the rest of her family.
According to ILNA, Iran’s penal code does not lay down the death penalty for a father in cases of filicide and the court can only sentence the accused to fines and jail time.
Her death sparked widespread outrage with media condemning the ‘institutionalised violence’ in the Islamic republicRomina had reportedly run away after the father refused to give permission for her to marry a man 15 years her senior.
But she was detained by authorities and taken home despite having pleaded with a judge that she feared for her life if returned.
The man she wanted to marry, Bahman Khavari, 34, has also been sentenced to two years in prison.

That’s right. I’m sick and tired of reading and hearing about these POS judges who refuse to make decisions that honor America and our laws. Where is the photo and home towun of this perverted justice clown?
The answer is the MSM is covering them up for their mutual protection.

No, you’re right. I was in a hurry and skimmed too fast past those vital little facts. Good catch. But I’m amazed that Iran does not hold with the allowances for muslims murdering their own kids.

I agree with you though, how long will it be before similar sentences are handed down by our corrupt judiciary.
David Woods, a Christian convert from atheism, was arrested and imprisoned (under false pretenses) for daring to preach Christianity at an Arab festival in Dearbornistan. While he was incarcerated a deliberately anonymous Dearbornistan police officer came up to him and told him that his department was covering up honor killings.

I would guess less than half the years. His wife, who called for his death sentence will most likely be the next to loose her head followed by the man the girl wanted to marry who will also be a head shorter. After all this beast’s honor has to be restored.

Prosecutors should have charged him with blaspheming the pedophile …
… then he would have gotten the death penalty.

Felix1999(whatever I think of him) did drop a lot of posts with images/urls and that could be the reason but to cite islamophobia as a reason on a J8wish website seems strange while that of AhmedMohandjob seems utterly ridiculous. HOWEVER all the sites on which I post or view have been invaded by Leftist trolls who become resident downvoting everyone in sight and doing their best to disrupt and these ones are not the morons but the intelligent, if still indoctrinated ones and this appears to be organized as it all happened only in the last 2 weeks. TBH I have not seen any evidence of such here(but then I only visit occasionally) and it could be such creatures calling them spammers or similar. To stop AMJ IMO is farcical.

I don’t think anyone I mentioned has been banned by Ms. Geller or her moderators, I believe they have been banned by disqus — just as I have been in the past. Ms. Geller believes in free speech and I don’t even think she or her moderators have banned even the stormfront types who show up here on a semi-regular basis spreading their delusional antisemitic lies.

I find Disqus varies quiet a lot depending upon your site. BB is touchy as is Frontpage. There have been numerous leftist trolls on ALL sites over the past month(as panic sets in I hope). They are here now but most do not post and look for an excuse to have anyone who passes on loads of pertinent information, banned. It does not need to be genuine, as just like when muslims had me banned from multiple sites, when nothing I posted was not true and straight out of their own textbooks, it is the NUMBER of complaints that count and Disqus has no real spine like most companies IT or not. all IMHO.

… yes, Islam is a horror show.
… and if the Left gets it’s way the Jihad will proceed without anyone keeping tabs on it or any attempt to resist it. Big Tech will be employed to enforce cyber-Sharia until “they come for us”
… on the bright side, lots of Americans who began 2020 as drones(D) are now “Red Pilled” …

Or charged him with being an apostate – that would’ve gotten him the death penalty – been kinda hard to prove though because islam does sanction murdering your own family members/children – to save face –

… yes, Islam sanctions all sorts of atrocities. I imagine the prosecutors were probably more worried about their own skins than they were about justice in this case.

IFF someone is a child rapist – they often are killed in prison –
it seems that when someone murders their own daughter –
they deserve death as I am a eye for an eye, as I am a Old Testament guy.

That’s in the West, not in Muslim countries where it is considered the righteous thing to do according to the kooran.

IFF he returns to their village – then KILL HIM yourself – so justice is served.

The kooran does stipulate that there is no penalty for a parent or grandparent who kills their offspring/grand-children. So that must be okay then…………………….

The savagery of the mudslimes is not even news anymore.
When you see the name ‘slam or the name of one of the countries in which it rules, you know that blood, violence, vengeance, stupidity, rage, evil, pain, savagery and cruelty are just a few steps away.

No wonder Islam prefers to force conversion to the Islamic faith at the pint of the sword. What rational person would adopt this faith and convert?
Only those who secretly pursue the death cult of Islam or who fear for their lives if they resist.

A large part of the problem is that the economies of Islamic lands are lopsided, with few really wealthy men and multitudes of poor men. This allows the wealthy men to use the poor men for their wants and needs, and the powers of all men over their women helps to make up for the poverty most muslims live with. Men can demand sex from their wife (wives) any time they want. And if a man is poor, theat may be jsut enough to satisfy him.
I’m sure Mohammed had these ideas in mind when “Allah” planted the Islamic rules in his mind. (sarc)

or what the demonrats deem as really late term abortion – perfectly acceptable under their morality – makes one wonder, how many abortions are performed because the baby is the wrong color or as in china, the wrong sex

This is what awaits us, the barbarity of the muslim world. They outnumber Westerners by a huge amount. They make enough babies to overrun the whole world with sharia law muslims very soon. They want to turn the whole world into a caliphate. An ignorant caliphate that has never created anything to enrich the world but who gladly uses all the grandiose developments by our Western Civilization. I will never understand why the europeans especially, but also here in the US, people don’t see the monster that is coming on faster than anyone though. We already have them in our government!!! We had a president friendly to them! What are we waiting to wake up????

The Western world has at best “four more years” to get a good grip on setting the world straight about the Rule of Reciprocity, which in the case of Islam, would logically allow us to take out all muslims at our will, because their unaltereable doctrines dictate that all who refuse to bow to their stupid ideas must die or be subjugated to muslims.
Until humans reach a point where logical reciprocity is feasible, we are in for the fight of our lives.

According to the Gatestone Institute report on muslim persecution of Christians, muslims are cleaning Africa of all “infidels.” In Mozambique more than 1000 people have been slaughtered since 2017 by muslims. “… multiple churches have been burnt, people beheaded, young girls kidnapped, and hundreds of thousands of people displaced by the violence.”
In Nigeria muslims have executed close to 200 Christians this year. Hacked to death, women, children and babies. Slaughtered with machetes, some burned alive in their own homes. And torched their homes. “ten women, a baby and an elderly man were burnt to death in a house where they had taken refuge.”
In Turkey most churches are abandoned. But those who remain are harassed constantly and their harassers if apprehended are set free when they say they “regret” it.
In Pakistan although the constitution guarantees religious freedom, muslims harass Christians, demand they take down the crosses atop their churches, and minarets, they harass and beat the parishioners and steal peoples’possesions. They kidnap girls and rape them.
In somalia all somalis are believed to be muslim so those who are found to be Christians are charged with apostasy punishable by death.
Attacks and murders by deranged muslims against “infidels” are happening in Somalia, Morocco, Yemen, Lebanon, Egypt, Tunisia, Canada…and Europe. All this while people remain indifferent.
