  1. Ok this is sensitive especially I know how arabs think . Immigrants from that part of the world are not bad but needs orientation course that helps them to integrate in the western society.

  2. There are just some religions and people that can’t coexist here. You can’t come to this country with these crazy religious beliefs. Take it to another Muslim country, not here. Our government is seriously failing to protect us in the people they allow to come here. They just don’t care.

  3. If the daughters were dating a Blackman, they probably wouldda been lynched by the father.

  4. If it's an honor killing, he should be proud of it instead of pleading not guilty. Where's his honor now.

  5. How can they claim it's because of his faith when, in the 911 call, the girls said it was him?

  6. The mother is guilty for taking them back

  7. Father plz make this be punished for what he did to those beautiful girls and please change the law so children will beleived and protected and able to go to SAFETY in Jesus name

  8. The end of this "father's" life will the real honor for humanity and this planet

  9. Sorry, but there's NO honor in murdering your children!

  10. He should NOT be permitted to live out his life in prison.
    He should be given the Swift Death Penalty!

  11. Most of the mothers of honor killing daughters are victims themselves of abusive husbands. Watch some documentaries about it, like the one in Pakistan. Women are married off or sold to older men at a very young age. Some of them were saying they pray to have sons and not daughters, because they are scared they will suffer the same fate.

  12. Religion poisons everything.

  13. They all need the death penalty for raising such dishonorable children. They failed as parents and should face the same judgement as they judged. You live by your laws you die by your laws.

  14. OMG I remember hearing about the manhunt for the father years ago!!!! I'm so glad he's been caught! I thought he fled the country.

  15. He was a predators as well ..video taping his daughters constantly

  16. Some people do not deserve children! Wish both adults had been barren.

  17. The 12 years is eating at me. But all I can do now is hope he live a very long life in prison.

    Lord, keep him alive for me…. I want him alive. { Darth Vader voice } ………..GRIM

  18. "Honor" killing is really the penalty for apostasy in their "religion". Stay away, ladies.

  19. Meanwhile, I’m sure his sons had plenty of girlfriends.

  20. Yes the Mother was foolish to go back but remember their relationship started when she was a minor . She was most likely groomed to submit to him. Plus i think the fact her daughters are never coming back is enough punishment to last a lifetime.

  21. Nothing honorable about murder.

  22. Saying he was targeted because of his faith that is disgusting to say and a bunch of bull💩 it's rediculous what they are saying

  23. Anyone that kills their own children for any reason is EVIL.

  24. I saw the documentary a few years ago and never heard about the father being arrested. It was mentioned he escaped and went back to Egypt. Those poor girls deserve justice. The mother should also be prosecuted

  25. Just as Texas begins arresting women for having abortions.

  26. When the modern world and 1st century religion mix, its never good. Especially when organized religion is mixed with ignorance. It never ends well.

  27. This animal needs to be put down

  28. Why aren’t they talking about the brother and son of this man who helped him get away?

  29. The mother needs jailed as well

  30. Monsters do exist. His religion shouldn't be at issue. This is a human rights violation of the worst kind. I hope those girls haunt him until the day he dies.
