WFAA-TV in Dallas says that police believe they have him surrounded in a residential area of Lewisville, TV. Now, the details...

#16  We in the West need to prosecute and punish the perpetrators of these heinous vengeance murders to the full extent of our laws. No application of Shariah law, no cop-out of political correctness, cultural or moral relativism.

This is our turf and we do not tolerate the murder of our sisters, daughters, wives, nieces -- ever.

#11  Irving Masjid is a major Shiite Mosque in the area where the killings took place. That area is extremely close to the DFW International airport. This rat may have made it out of the US (strictly my opinion only) since the area, the Mosque, and the large number of Muslims in Irving indicate the possiblity. From that hotel he could be at DFW Internations in only 15 minutes. His cab was in a taxi stand. Which in my opinion would mean that he drove there after the murders to catch another cab to DFW.

He shot each of his girls multiple times. That could not have happened without notice at a taxi stand at a major hotel.

#10   I don't give a flying damn what they believe, but this behavior needs to be stamped down hard and fast.

The murderer is on the run and in hiding. He's getting help from a person or persons within his muzzie community. Those helping him need to be identified and charged with accessory to murder after the fact. Stamped down hard and fast.

#9  Finding an honor killing is like finding a roach in your cereal - yeah you can kill it for trespassing your breakfast but there are the 10 more lurking in the walls, waiting for the lights to go back off...when all you had to do to avoid the infestation is spend 5 minutes a night picking up the kitchen but now look, roaches in the house.

#8  Well, we have the death penalty here, and I can't see Texas juries being very tolerant of muzzie crap.

I don't give a flying damn what they believe, but this behavior needs to be stamped down hard and fast.

#7  The death cult strikes again.

#6  I think it's just murder brought on by the spirit of the culture that falls naturally from their religion. After the perpetrators are caught they honestly think that they can gin up some kind of "It is because of my misunderstood religion" crap to slime their way out from under it.

And if it was so religious, why are they on the run? What religious obligation are they fulfilling by hiding? They should proud to just stand there and say "Sorry, it's what I had to do. Put me in jail if you have to."

But that might make the religion too unpalatable even for the likes of Edwards, so they'll have to save that behavior for when they think they have the upper hand.

#5  honour killing?

This is religious murder.

#4  I suspect that there have been at least several dozen other honor killings elsewhere (e.g., NJ).

However, they haven't been identified as such.

#3  And so it starts. Honor killings in my backyard, not surprising actually given the number of muzzie scum that have moved into the area.

Well, we have the death penalty here, and I can't see Texas juries being very tolerant of muzzie crap.

#2  Welcome to Rantburg, Ms. Sheeley.

We've been watching these dishonor killings for a while as well.

Hope you stick around and join the fun.

#1  These appear to be dishonor killings. They show the classic signs.
