Yazdanpanah family

“Santa” killings were Islamic “honor killing,” alleges columnist

by Joel McDurmon on Dec 30, 2011

The shocking murder-suicide rampage by a Santa-suited gunman, killing six of his relatives before shooting himself in Dallas, Texas, on Christmas morning has been alleged to be an Islamic honor killing.

International Business Times reports on the suspicions raised by JihadWatch.com, a popular but often criticized watchdog service connected to The David Horowitz Freedom Center. The JihadWatch headline alleges, ”‘Santa’ who murdered family on Christmas morning was Muslim who didn’t like his daughter dating a non-Muslim.”

You won’t hear that in the mainstream media.

Initial reports attributed the motive behind the killing to Yazdanpanah’s financial troubles, home foreclosure and the emotional trauma of having been alienated from his wife and children.

However, Jihad Watch, a site run by Robert Spencer, well-known author and columnist, has alleged that Yazdanpanah, a Muslim, couldn’t digest the fact that his daughter was dating a non-Muslim and chose to kill the family to thwart the perceived dishonor.

The site quoted friends and classmates of Yazdanpanah’s teenage daughter Nona. One of them identified as Lacie Reed was quoted as saying, “She (Nona) would come to school crying and telling us her dad was crazy. He wouldn’t let her wear certain things. He was always taking her phone away, checking her call history and checking her text messages.”

“She couldn’t date at all until she was a certain age, but when he was going to let her date she couldn’t date anyone outside of their race or religion,” Reed said.

The site also alleged that Yazdanpanah had installed cameras around the home to monitor his family’s whereabouts.

Authorities are not discussing motive at this point, saying it belongs to a later phase of the process:

“Motive is not really the primary point right now,” said Grapevine police Lt. Todd Dearing. “It’s more along the lines of what happened, how it transpired and making sure that who we believe to be the shooter is the shooter. Motive is what comes afterward for us if we can get it,” he added.

Other unsubstantiated reports are circling. A family friend claimed Yazdanpanah murdered the family because “‘he was upset his estranged wife was doing well on her own.”

  1. If it looks like a rat, acts like a rat, smells like a rat, and holds the religious ideologies of a rat, It must be a muslim honor killing. . .
    These people need to be controlled, or better yet sent to a Muslim country, where American values will not affect them so negatively. Do it today, send all Muslims to Mecca with FREE, one way tickets to the hell hole in the Middle East.
    We all would be so much happier, eh?

  3. Islam is the religion of the anti-Christ. The messiah they are awaiting, the mahdi, will be the anti-Christ. The false prophet of Revelation 19:20, whom they call Isa (the Arabic name for Jesus), will return to be the helper of the mahdi. They believe Jesus was a prophet, but not THE prophet, and failed in his mission, so he must return. He is NOT the real Jesus, but an imposter. Rev. 20:4b and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus. …and what religion beheads people? The 3 columns they throw stones at, whom the say is Satan, really represents the Trinity. If you think it is bad now, just wait…! It really is later than you think.

  4. I think these honor killings are killing more of Muslims than any war could. Nice that he thought to take out himself as well, she said with extreme sarcasm. At least our prison system won't have to feed him and we've avoided the cost of a trial. I hope our American liberals don't think these people will ever assimilate into American society. So far it hasn't happened, and as long as there are Muslims killing each other we might not have to worry about it at all. Their jihad mentality is doing a good job annihilating themselves.
