Pamela Geller, American Thinker: Honor Killing in Texas

Islamism in Texas

Pamela Geller
An investigation into a Texas honor killing gets stonewalled. 

Neena Nejad, a Los Angeles-based producer, has been working for almost two years now on a film
documentary about Amina and Sarah Said, the two Muslim girls in Texas
who were murdered by their father in an Islamic honor killing on New
Year's Eve 2008. Nejad and her team have been working with many people
and have uncovered some provocative new information about the girls'
father, Yaser Said — information that has never been revealed in public
before.

Nejad
and her crew just returned to Los Angeles from Texas. While they were
in the Dallas area, they visited every place that at some point had been
important in the lives of Amina and Sarah, and they talked to many,
many people. Most of those people had never before talked to the media.
Said Nejad: "It was such an emotional week talking to these people and
getting to know Amina and Sarah better."

But
then on Monday, April 8, the situation abruptly changed. Now Nejad and
her crew felt not only unsafe but the work environment was definitely
different.

We all were nervous. There were four people in our Texas crew (3 women and 1 man).

Our
schedule on Monday was to try to talk to three members of the Said
family: Mohsen Said, Yousri Said, and Islam Said. We knew that Islam was
living with Yousri so we only had two houses to visit. We were
recommended to try to talk first with the nicest of the brothers, Mohse
Said. We were also told that approaching his wife Marybel would be
easier and she would probably take us to Mohsen. Our goal was to set up
an interview with one of them and hear what they had to say.

The day went as follows:

–
I go to Marybel's job, hoping that I can tell her who we are and give
her our business card for her to contact us later. I was told that she
is not longer working at this place but they tell me that they have a
good relationship with her and they decided to give her a call while I
was there. She didn't pick up the phone and the asked for my number so I
gave it to the person I talked to.

–
Then, we decide to try Yousri's house since it was in the area. When we
arrive and I go to ring the bell nobody opens, so we leave.

–
Last stop was Mohsen's house. I walked to the front door and ring the
bell. Mohsen's daughter, Reem Said opens the door and talks to me. At
first when I asked for Mr. Mohsen or Mrs. Marybel, Reem informed me that
they were inside the house. Then Reem asked me who I was and I
explained to her that we were working on the story of Sarah and Amina…
as soon as I pronounced the names, Reem rejected pretty much any other
type of information. Reem talked a bit more by saying the they never
talked about this story and that they will keep it that way. She said
that media will twist everything and it's not worth it to even try. Then
she talks a little bit about Islam being such a sweet guy (which some
people told us in previous days). Reem was absolutely sweet to me. (FYI:
I was set with a hidden mic before I went in. We couldn't risk for
anything to happen to me if I got inside the house so my team was
monitoring that conversation and it got recorded). Then Reem gives me
back my business card and she says that she appreciates us coming but
they wont be interested so I leave. This was the END for us. We tried.
It didn't work out. It was over.

– I get back in the car and we are trying to leave this town and start looking for a place to have lunch before the next interview
we had set up. While we are driving, we get a call on our work number
which is forwarded to my personal cell. I answer the call and Marybel is
screaming at me: "Why did you come to my house and harass my daughter?"
and I was explaining to her that there was no harassment, that I just
went over and told her what I was doing, and that when Reem said she
wasn't interested I just left. I also told her that our conversation was
nice.

Before
I finished explaining to Marybel, Mohsen took the phone and started
screaming nonstop. I tried to talk but he wouldn't listen. He said that
we were harassing his daughter, then I said that she had a nice
conversation and asked him that is he thought I was harassing her
daughter why didn't he come out to talk to me in person instead of
listening from the other side of the door? He started calling me names:
fag, whore, bitch cunt… many many many many times, nonstop. I tried to
tell him that there was no need for this and he kept going. He then
said that he knew who we were, that he knew we were in town, that he had
contacts and he was going to find us and kill us. Then I asked why
would he try to find us when I tried to talked to him 15 minutes ago and
he said that we would find out when he found us. More names, bitch,
whore, bitch, whore…. I said that if he was trying to scare us if
wouldn't work out…. I'm going to find you and then you will see, more
names…. HANG UP!

We
got very scared at that point. We knew that these people are capable of
anything. Specially after everything we found out about this story.

Our thoughts:

– He didn't like for a woman not to get scared over the phone and made him more upset.

–
This is a confirmation for us that he was involved in Amina and Sarah
murders. No reason why someone would get so upset for nothing. Thank God
we didn't show up there with a camera and asking "Where is Yaser Said?"

–
He thought the story was dead and all of a sudden he realized that
someone is actually doing a full feature on the girl's story.

– Thank God he was the nicest of the brothers. I wouldn't like to deal with the less friendly.

We
are scared. We all changed our Facebook, Twitter… I had to change my
privacy setting on my social media, change my location etc… We know
these people are capable of planning a murder. Since that day, they
called twice more but we didn't pick up the phone. We can see our stats
for The Price of Honor rising in the areas where these people live so they are for sure checking us out.

We
went to the police station in a city nearby after we got the call. This
was the Arlington Police Department and let me tell you that I wasn't
surprised. After we all explained the situation to the officer basically
he said that if we chase the bad guy and we get shot then we can't
really complaint about it. Yes, he said that and we left amazed by it.
He said we could file a report if we wanted but it would be useless and
we would put it in the archive right away plus we would have to wait
over 3 hours to do it even though nobody else was at the station.

The
day after we were shooting in Lewisville and decided to go to the
police department. They said that we could file an information report to
leave proof of this and that's all we wanted. We didn't want to go
after him because that would make him more angry, we just wanted to make
sure that if anything happened, we had proof on paper. Sadly, we
couldn't file a report because the incident didn't happen in that city
and we were told to file this report in our own city which is impossible
because we don't live in Texas. So we are now trying to find out how to
proceed with the California law so there is proof on paper of what
happened in Texas. I have a feeling things will be easier here.

I’m so ashamed of the Arlington Police Dept. What a slimy way to behave. I guess if she were raped, this cop would have told her if she insists on wearing a short skirt and gets raped then she can’t really complain about it.

Yes, THESE “people” are capable of just about anything if it deals with violence. The fact that you were a female and obviously didn’t grovel to him, probably “tied his panties in a knot”. Hope he didn’t make these threats in front of other males, though, because then he’d be “honor bound” to do something. I don’t know if Califonia will be “easier” or not. That is an exceptionaly “liberal” state and they may see “honor killings” as well…just the liberal thing to do. Anyway good work, brave work…we NEED more like you.

Mein Kampf is not just a clarified restatement of quran, but one, adapted for children under 10 y.o. (no sex, sodomy, paederasty, zoophilia etc.)

As for the cruel,heinous, cold hearted and murderous Islamic practice of “honor killing”
In this particular case in Texas. Brigitte Gabriel wrote about this vicious Islamic pratice that it also has “come to the West thanks to the rise of Islamic immirgation.”
This is from her book THEY MUST BE STOPPED page 176. This hideous death cult which is Islam producec man with malicious mindset that commit evil acts. Such as “honor killing.”
