#Dallas #Texas #KXAS
These reporters need to stop calling it honour killings…there is not such thing…its murder no matter what country you born from
Fk his religious beliefs
Religion of peace
Finally, its time he paid for what he did. This case has always stayed with me especially that heart breaking 911 call.
That father must think it’s ok to live in the Stone Age.
religion, it has to go
Religion 🥺🥵
He sexual abuse them also
Put this MF in jail for life. Those poor beautiful kids. Horrible. This isn’t the middle east.
I remember this being all over the news in Dallas. Glad they caught him.
I got a bigger question, are they actually going to let someone like this live?
They are not seeking the Death Penalty. If this man was had a shred of decency, he would have unalived himself already
We Have Laws In This Country You Just Cant Be Killing Who Ever You Think Should Be Killed
Let The Trial Begin And Let The Jury Decide Guilty Or Not Guilty Verdict
I remember when this was on date line
This culture and religion is full of hate and blood. I am Hispanic and would hate my kids to get involved with this horrible culture. I encourage them to stay away from them. This culture are one of the most racist people there is believe it or not.
He looks like my ex boyfriend.
Muslim men in America have a double standard for Muslim females. Muslim males can do anything but not the females. I know.
Sad Man I hope They Both Get Justice I Hate Father’s Like This If Your Angry why Take it out on them They have there entire life to live Two Beautiful Daughters Gone Senseless Sad They could Been Mother’s ECT… Whoever Did This Really Hope an pray they Get The Fullest Fullest Punishment Ever an Suffer Horribly
God is great keep up the good work 👳
Nothing ‘alleged’ in regards to this.
Don’t worry buddy, they will give you a cell facing the east so you can pray to your god until you die
Good job Yasir. In middle east we have ZERO TOLERANCE for these “sleep around” girls. We will fight them with maximum force!
It’s not an honor killing, it’s domestic violence that led to murder. The media shouldn’t use that term as it makes it sound like his daughters did something to deserve this.
“Honor killing” is a muslim term.
Not all but many muslim nations have this for adulterers, homosexuals and people who might say something critical of Islam in their nations, they call it blasphemy.
I want to correct you, but the previous replies here say as much. Get some education about other cultures that are not your own. And yes, honor killing is s type of domestic violence, there’s no exclusion there
Exactly. There’s nothing honorable about a murder.
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.
I don’t think you know his “religion”. Everything he did from controlling and abusing his wife and daughters and ended up killing his daughters (apostasy) are in accord with it.
The mother needs jailed as well
Death Penalty!!!!!
Shame
Why aren’t they talking about the brother and son of this man who helped him get away?
Ohh he needs a good lawyer !
This animal needs to be put down
When the modern world and 1st century religion mix, its never good. Especially when organized religion is mixed with ignorance. It never ends well.
Just as Texas begins arresting women for having abortions.
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
Anyone that kills their own children for any reason is EVIL.
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
He has no honor!!
Nothing honorable about murder.
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.
Meanwhile, I’m sure his sons had plenty of girlfriends.
“Honor” killing is really the penalty for apostasy in their “religion”. Stay away, ladies.
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
Some people do not deserve children! Wish both adults had been barren.
He was a predators as well ..video taping his daughters constantly
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.
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.
Religion poisons everything.
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.
He should NOT be permitted to live out his life in prison.
He should be given the Swift Death Penalty!
Sorry, but there’s NO honor in murdering your children!
😔
The end of this “father’s” life will the real honor for humanity and this planet
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
The mother is guilty for taking them back
How can they claim it’s because of his faith when, in the 911 call, the girls said it was him?
If it’s an honor killing, he should be proud of it instead of pleading not guilty. Where’s his honor now.
If the daughters were dating a Blackman, they probably wouldda been lynched by the father.
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.
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.
He looks scared
This is why no one should blindly follow any religion, or any person for that matter. You cannot let others do your thinking for you….to the point where you no longer see for yourself what is right or wrong. So many people just follow what their clan believes in and it causes so many unessary problems
Evil piece of trash. Those poor young women!
Eff this Muslim card. He killed, he should pay. Preach me on another day
I still remember hearing the recording of them in car
Honour killings have to end NOBODY deserves to be treated like that I know religions can be lawful but ask yourself would you want your own kids being mistreated.like that?
If you have to murder your children for your religious beliefs yikes.
america is horrible, even their america belief is trash
Why not give him the death penalty? He committed capital murder.
the religion of peace and love.
Finally justice.
where is Joseph
This is the last case my sister was on before retiring as a private investigator we have been waiting for this day for years we pray he gets the maxim these girls did not deserve this we almost feel like these girls are family my sister has more pictures of these girls then she does the rest of are family members
This case is just now going to trial ? Didn’t this happen a while ago ? 🤔
False flag
This man brought Sham
There is no honour in killing your daughters
You should spend the rest of your life in prison
Please let there be justice for these girls. I’ve waited years for it
Why America brings in and grants citizenship to such upstanding members of public from very different cultures is beyond me…
This monster doesn’t represent all immigrants. He doesn’t even represent those from his region. He’s an individual a terrible one but an individual nonetheless.
I don’t know why these killers decide to come to a free country America. Rip. Little one.
How old would of the beautiful girls been today
People like this are what prison with hard labor are for. Maybe they should have a prison with a factory that makes bricks or concrete blocks for low income housing from recycled materials.
‘Big tough guy’ murdering his girls. He won’t look so tough when he’s sitting in jail forever. Waiting for him to claim ‘Sharia Law’’ defense any minute now.
RIP to both lost and my condolences
The women need to start honor killing the men. How would they like that. If you read the Bible God killed off all the first born because Pharoh didn’t obey and release Isareal slaves. It never says women didn’t. It’s just a way to control people. Control yourself not others. Why are people raised this way? That’s shame right there. Delusional thinking. He’s a pedophile too. So maybe in prison they will get their honor killing.
Omg they got him???! Thank goodness!
They need to do the mama too for child neglect and endangerment!
Religion is trash. You can’t change my mind.
It took this long….those poor girls.
He wasn’t targeted listen to the 911 call she literally says my dad is killing me! Give him the death penalty !!
I find it hard to believe that any “god” would condone murder for any reason. Let’s call it what it is a way to control women that was created by men…period it has nothing to do with what “God” wants to happen.
He should be sent to a women’s prison. See how he likes that.🤬
He was very very jealous of his daughter.. And if you didnt want ur kids being American then why tf come to America!? Dumb @@@
These religions are so dangerous. He is definitely a malignant and self righteous narcissist. He is definitely also a psychopath
Feed him to the pigs 🐖 & it’s no joke
The mother and the brother should be charged too. The mother should be charge for luring the girls to their deaths.
The USA is par on the course for normalizing this behavior. In 10 years this will be common in families and we won’t even care.
Controlling your daughters dating activities is normal to me. But killing them instead of teaching them why it’s not allowed in your culture is something else. I remember watching their story on crime watch daily years ago. I cried for them from my heart. And I wished this criminal only death with sorrow.
Death penalty please.
