“Honor” Killings: Will Radical Islamic Cleric Bakri’s Pole-Dancer Daughter Be Next?

There is a disturbing tradition in the Islamic world of offing those with whom they disagree, but violence is not just directed at “infidels.” In Islam, there is a tradition of so-called “honor” killings – murders committed in order to “protect” the honor of the family, relatives or community in which the slain lived.

In a December 28, 2005 article, the Associated Press reported that, at that time in Pakistan, “more than 260 such honor killings” had been “documented by the rights commission, mostly from media reports, during the first 11 months of 2005.” And that’s just Pakistan. In this Associated Press article, “Nazir Ahmed appears calm and unrepentant as he recounts how he slit the throats of his three young daughters and their 25-year old stepsister to salvage his family’s “honor” — a crime that shocked Pakistan.”

But the tradition spans the globe, and has recently become a major concern in the United States and Canada. Just this year, in Dallas, Texas, “Amina Said, 18, and her sister Sarah, 17, were found shot multiple times in a cab outside a suburban Dallas hotel. Police found them after one of the girls called 911 from a cell phone and said she was dying. A capital murder warrant has been issued for Yaser Said, 50, who” at the time the article was published had “not been seen since the Lewisville High School students were found dead.” The article went on to say, “According to a police report released (the following) Tuesday, a family member told investigators that Yaser Said threatened ‘bodily harm’ against Sarah for going on a date with a non-Muslim.”

Now, Sophie Borland of the Daily Mail has revealed that “the daughter of firebrand cleric Omar Bakri Mohammed” … “has ditched not only his extreme interpretation of Islam – but also much of her clothing.”

The full article, which is definitely worth a read, goes on to say that this lovely young mother has been dancing in London’s West End clubs, “touring as a ‘podium’ dancer with a troupe called Ibiza Untouched.”

She says she doesn’t agree with her father’s extreme views, nor, by implication, his radical Islamist message.

The cleric, himself, however claims this is all a “fabrication” he calls an “attack on him and Islam.” He claims not to have seen his daughter for nine years, so this author wonders how he can be so sure she’s not the “topless, tattooed pole-dancer” she certainly appears to be?

The radical cleric went on to say, “The more you put pressure on me, the stronger I become. Islam will conquer Britain.” He went on to rant, “You are going to pay a heavy price … You can read it any way you like. The time is now.”

The article also said of Yasmin that she “grew up a devout Muslim and in her teens wore a veil. She left school in Enfield at 16 after her parents fixed an arranged marriage to a Turkish man but the couple separated.”

Apparently her, “exotic life as a pole dancer was discovered when she was contacted by a tabloid journalist posing as an agent booking acts for a gentleman’s club.”

What I am wondering is: Will Islamic extremists in Britain stand for this sort of behavior from the daughter of banned hate cleric Omar Bakri Muhammad, or will she be the victim of an “honor” killing – murdered by one of her father’s radical followers still living in London?

According to a September 11, 2008 article on mirror.co.uk, “Bakri, 59, was kicked out of Britain after the July 7, 2005 London bombings because of his activities,” but he is, apparently, still in contact with his fanatical devotees, because details that emerged the evening of September 10th indicated that he was planning to “use a live video link from Lebanon to address radicals meeting in London” to “to praise the 9/11 killers in a sick speech to British radicals… the seventh anniversary of the terror outrage.”

Will Yasmin Fostok survive the Religion of Peace?
