A Dallas honor killing?

That’s what Phyllis Chesler of Pajamas Media is calling the slaying of two teenage girls whose Egyptian, cab-driver father, Abdul Said, is being sought for the crime. If true, Chesler says it’s just the latest one in North America.

UPDATE: The girls are buried, in what Jihad Watch sees as an ambiguous Muslim service. Meanwhile, dad is still at-large.

    Could he not claim freedom of religion and/or free speech and skate?
    Worth a shot, if you’re his lawyer.

    I think this is old-fashioned tribalism, rather than religion. But I wouldn’t want to be his lawyer. There’s a limit to this equal representation business.
