UK: Muslim Honor Killing Of Kurdish Beauty
This is the face of a stunningly beautiful young woman, who is now dead, after her decomposing remains were found in a suitcase in a garden in Handsworth, Birmingham. With a hat-tip to the ever-excellent Religion of Peace, the details of her death are found in This is Hertfordshire, the BBC and Kurdish Womens Action Against Honour Killings.
Banaz Mahmod Babakir Agha, who lived in Mitcham, south London, disappeared on 23 January this year. The 20-year old woman of Kurdish origins had last been seen at 5.50 pm in Cricket Green in Mitcham. She made no withdrawals from her bank account following her disappearance, and soon it was assumed by police that she had been murdered, in high probability in an honour killing. Properties were searched in London, Birmingham and Sheffield.
Her body was found in a suitcase in Alexandra Road, Handsworth, 50 miles away from her home, on Friday 28 April. Following the discovery of her body, five people who had previously been arrested were once again brought in for questioning, the BBC reported on Sunday.
Two people have been charged with her murder. In February, 29-year old Mohamad Marid Hama of South Norwood (South London) was charged with murder at Greenwich Magistrates Court. He is now in custody, awaiting an appearance at the Central Criminal Court on May 12. Hama is not related to Banaz' family.
On Monday (May 1) Banaz' uncle, 50-year old Ari Mahmod Babakir was remanded in custody at Woolwich Magistrates' Court. He lived at Sandy Lane, Mitcham.
Sixteen other people have been bailed to return to the police, pending further enquiries.

Sorry to hear of her traggic death. Im kurdish my self and let me let everyone know that the parents didnt kill her for ISLAM, they killed her because of culture, and tribelism, they thought the daughter had put shame on their family and they didnt want to be talked about in Kurdistan, this also happed to another friend of mine, Kurds are not Relgious People, Culture was the cause of this, If you wanted your culture you should have stayed in Kurdistan.
May Allah have Mercy on Her

And they call themselves "a religion of peace"? Sure, and I'm Santa Claus! We need to let the Jews bomb Mecca into oblivion and be done with it. Muslim are 99.9 percent scum, and they will never change. There's a good damned reason why the Jews & Christians had the Crusades, FACT...

Alkie:
Jews had nothing to do with Crusades. They were just as much the victims of the crusaders as the Muslims. The beautiful religion of love and forgiveness considered them just as much of infidels and worthy of destruction as the Muslims. That attitude - continued all the way to the 20 century - displayed by Hitler in the cradle of civilization, and now by you.
How come when David Kouresh - and the likes of him - rapes the under age girls and takes all his followers wives for himself, claimed to be the new messiah, and eventually goes through a carnage that destroys him and everyone else around him - you don't blames his action on Christianity and call for it's destruction?
I am not a religious person and I believe that all Abrahamic Religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam, are the same and come from the same roots. But come on, destroying 1/3 of the population of the world because of criminal actions of a bunch of medieval people?
