I am coming to the conclusion that this is such an ass backwards cult that there is little hope of ever coexisting with them. Until they stop doing shit like this or strapping bombs on their kids and sending them to shopping malls there is little hope.

i totally forgot about that carolyn, but your mentioning sure brought back my memory of feeling at the time my shock and total amazement at the brutality

this was before 9/11 and frankly paid little attention to islam, so having not understood what goes on in this despicable religion, i just thought those were the acts of depraved mind....

well indeed it was that....a depraved mind obeying a depraved religion...

btw, i googled the story and found that a book was written on the tina isa murder...i had also forgotten the entire killing was captured on tape....imagine the horror

Guarding the Secrets: Palestinian Terrorism and a Father's Murder of His Too-American Daughter
by Ellen Harris

New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1995. 352 pp. $23

Middle East Quarterly
September 1995

Reviewed by Daniel Pipes

In November 1989 in St. Louis, the FBI inadvertently tape recorded the entire episode of a teenage girl's being killed by her Palestinian father and Brazilian mother (the Feds were looking for evidence of terrorism, which they also found). In a ghastly eight-minute sequence, Zein Isa stabbed his daughter Palestina thirteen times with a butcher's knife as his wife held the girl down and responded to Palestina's pleas for help with a brutal "Shut up!" The killing ends with Zein screaming "Die! Die quickly! Die quickly! . . . Quiet, little one! Die, my daughter, die!" By this time, she is dead.

Harris, a St. Louis television reporter, has done admirable spade work going through the court transcripts and interviewing everyone connected to the case in an attempt to piece together the interlocking stories of family murder and active support of Abu Nidal's terrorist organization. In addition, she successfully conjures up the small and exceedingly unpleasant world of Zein Isa and his family of rabid anti-Americans living right in the American heartland. The murder culminates their lives of frustration, greed, and vulgarity. Unfortunately, Harris spent more effort digging up information than she did writing the book; so the more-than-casual reader must read and reread its pages to piece together the sequence of events and the scope of the Isa family's involvement with Abu Nidal. Doing so repays the effort, however, for Harris has compiled a treasure trove of materials on two usually elusive subjects.
