Unemployed Lounge Singer Surrenders | |
2004-04-21 | |
Muhammad Bakar Yunus Al-Fallatta, who almost beat his wife Rania Al-Baz to death two weeks ago, has surrendered to police, according to the prominent TV presenter. Rania told Arab News that her husband who is facing charges of attempted murder, surrendered to police on Monday night. Al-Fallatta, who was carrying a prayer rug, told police he had acted in a jealous rage, she said. This could mean the charges would be reduced from attempted murder to wife battery, which carries a lighter sentence.

#8 Zenster, if the Princess' husband ordered the guards, they would have been there. But a woman's orders don't need to be followed. Besides, I'm sure the judge will take into consideration that he gave her time to say shahada during the beating. He'll probably take off 10 hours of community service for that. |

#7 She said there were no security guards outside her house despite the fact that Princess Sara Al-Angari, the wife of Makkah Governor Prince Abdul Majeed, had ordered 24-hour security for her. Institutionalized violence against women is one of the principal reasons that fundamentalist Islam must be marginalized (preferrably out of existence) by all free societies. |

#1 Rania yesterday said she was afraid for her and her childrenâs lives. She said there are hospital records that show that he had smashed her in the forehead last year, requiring her to be stitched. Al-Fallatta has also hit his five-year old son in the past. âHe hit him so hard that he almost ruptured his ear drum. His face was swollen for a few days,â she told Arab News. He has also abducted the children and prevented her from seeing them for two months, she said. When she complained to police they told her since the children were with their father there was nothing they could do. and yet she may not get custody...Islam, the religion of subjugation |
