I saw this over at LawDog’s place and just had to link to it here. Unfortunately HAL won’t allow embedding of YouTube videos from mere peons such as myself….so a link is the best I can do.

Say thank you Uncle Squawky

Rohina Abdul Ali, 22, fled Afghanistan with her mother Najia Omar Mohamad, 49, supposedly to find a better life for themselves. Thursday, Najia Omar Mohamad was arrested and charged with bludgeoning her daughter to death with a sledgehammer. Mohamad had initially told investigators that she had awoke Saturday to find her daughter dead on her bed. She later recanted after witnesses had told police they thought they had heard sounds that they thought were of her being beaten to death. Ali’s 4 year old daughter is in CPS custody.
No motive has been released, therefore I am going to speculate on one. Ali was a young, pretty girl who for the first time in her life was experiencing all the freedom and decadence the United States had to offer her. Mohamad is an older woman more accustomed to the repression and mores that come along with extremist islam. Note that Ali is not wearing any sort of scarf or head covering in her picture unlike her mother. I suspect that Ali may have found herself a boyfriend, and may even have had sex. Her mother, upon discovering this probably felt that the only thing she could do to protect the family’s honor was to commit an honor killing. That sort of thing is usually the province of the men in the family, however there is no mention as to any men being a part of the family, therefore she may have felt that the task fell to her.

Couldn’t pass this up when I saw it. Terri Schaivo’s husband, who actively worked for her death, seems to be campaign poison.

After he successfully won a court order to kill Terri Schiavo via euthanasia, the disabled woman’s former husband Michael pledged to take on pro-life advocates and formed a political action committee to defeat them. However, the candidates Michael campaigned for during the 2006 mid-term elections didn’t fare very well.

In fact, every candidate Michael personally campaigned for during the election cycle went down to defeat.

But wait, there’s more.

Schiavo said that, while Terri’s family works to make sure the disabled and elderly get proper medical care, he will do anything necessary to go after pro-life lawmakers who voted for the bill to support them and back candidates who think assisted suicide and euthanasia is okay.

“I will go as far as I need to go,” Schiavo said.

He indicated he will campaign for candidates in other states and likely speak out about the 2008 presidential elections.

Someone get this man next to Hillary!
