Tweet translation (autotranslated by Google):

One of the Zuaiter family killed his wife, the mother of his children, with ten bullets. And there are people from the clan who are posting a video of the victim’s brother opening the killer’s coffee as evidence that there is no trace or problem between them after the crime because he said “wash their shame” and if he had not killed his wife, the brother would have been killed!!!!! And that the perpetrator's life continues as normal, and no one talks about the crime!!!!

Yesterday dawn, Saturday, March 25, at around 2:30, a horrific crime took place in the Choueifat desert locality. Zainab Ali Zuaiter (26 years old, Lebanese) and a mother of three children, was killed by her husband, called Hassan Musa Zuaiter (27 years old, Lebanese) from the town of Baalbek happened when the latter fired about ten bullets at his wife, killing her instantly. Soon, the security forces and criminal investigations came to the crime scene, and the victim, disfigured by a gunshot wound to the head and eyes, was transferred to the nearest hospital, covered in her own blood. General for the surroundings and relatives of the couple. The circumstances of the crime In the details, one of the residents of the area, a 55-year-old government employee, told Al-Modon that “the crime took place between two thirty and three in the morning yesterday, when the perpetrator, who works in several professions, most notably public transport, was sitting with his friends in a café.” A relative, to receive a call from an unknown person. Dazzled and pale in face, and clearly showing discontent and rage, the offender ran towards his nearby house, and after a few minutes we heard the loud scream. The witness added: "The husband fled with his three children, leaving his wife, covered in her blood and killed, on the bed, in their apartment, which is located next to the "Zaiter" supermarket. When the security forces arrived at the vicinity of the apartment, the husband and his family were hidden from view. This is while another neighbor suggested that the motive for the crime was “honor”, ​​at the expense of the neighbor with whom Al-Modon contacted, refusing to disclose any other data.

While most of the residents near the couple's apartment indicated that the husband had been suffering from several nervous disorders for a long time, he could not bear to receive an anonymous call informing him of his wife's betrayal. They reported that the motive was that the husband searched his wife's phone (which had disappeared from the crime scene, according to security sources), and found pictures of her without a veil. This angered him, and made him kill his wife in front of his children, the eldest of whom is less than seven years old. While the husband disappeared from view, fleeing from the security forces that issued a search and investigation report against him, Al-Modon's security sources indicated that they are still examining the crime scene, the apartment, which was sealed with red wax.  Honor killing! The follow-up sources, who refused to mention her name, reported that the victim was buried yesterday, a few hours after her death, in the "Hay al-Salam" cemetery adjacent to the Choueifat desert locality, while the victim's brother, Hassan Ali Zuaiter, refused to hold the funeral, until he took his revenge on the killer. While the killer is still hiding from view, the fate of their three children is unknown. Most of those Al-Modon contacted tried to evade the answer, and even created justifications for the husband, “in his capacity as a victim of his wife’s betrayal and treachery,” hiding behind some stereotypical and repetitive scenarios that emerge at every similar crime, contenting themselves with saying that the killer with the intention of taking his honor is the authority of the truth. And his owner, who was stolen from him by force, at the hands of his wife. This is while it was difficult to communicate with the grieving and angry family of the victim, who insisted on taking their rights into their own hands.

It is noteworthy that Article 562 of the Lebanese Penal Code dealt with “honor crimes”, which allowed the perpetrator of this crime to benefit from the excuse that is exempt from punishment. i.e., whoever surprises his husband, one of his ascendants, descendants, or sister in the act of witnessed adultery or in the case of unlawful sexual intercourse, and kills or harms one of them unintentionally, while the perpetrator of the murder benefits from a mitigating excuse if he surprises his husband, or One of his ancestors, descendants, or sister is in a suspicious situation with another.

However, according to Law No. 7/99 issued on 20/2/1999, Article 562 was repealed and replaced with the following text: “He who surprises his spouse, one of his ascendants, descendants or sister in the case of witnessed adultery or in the case of unlawful intercourse shall benefit from a mitigating excuse.” So I unintentionally killed or harmed one of them.” Where the amendment dealt with the excuse excuse to become a mitigating excuse in addition to the cancellation of the second paragraph of the old Article 562. This horrific crime, which has not been discussed so far, under the shadow of secrecy adopted by those close to the perpetrator and the victim alike for fear of shame and scandal, and with all its overlapping indications and suspicions, directly reflects the reality of rights in Lebanon, women’s rights in particular, rights It is dependent on popular chaos, security chaos, official connivance, legislative reaction in enacting fair laws, the absence of a legal, judicial and security deterrent for potential perpetrators, and even the dominance of defunct laws, such as “honor and revenge” and other social ills that spread in the northern Bekaa and the southern suburbs of Beirut, and have not been addressed to this day.

"iT's CuLtUrE nOt ReLiGiOn!!1!"

https://quranx.com/18.74,80-81

So they set out, until when they met a boy, al-Khidhr killed him. [Moses] said, "Have you killed a pure soul for other than [having killed] a soul? You have certainly done a deplorable thing."

[..]

And as for the boy, his parents were believers, and we feared that he would overburden them by transgression and disbelief.

So we intended that their Lord should substitute for them one better than him in purity and nearer to mercy.

https://quranx.com/5.32-33

Because of that, We decreed upon the Children of Israel that whoever kills a soul unless for a soul or for corruption [done] in the land - it is as if he had slain mankind entirely. And whoever saves one - it is as if he had saved mankind entirely. And our messengers had certainly come to them with clear proofs. Then indeed many of them, [even] after that, throughout the land, were transgressors.

Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and strive upon earth [to cause] corruption is none but that they be killed or crucified or that their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides or that they be exiled from the land. That is for them a disgrace in this world; and for them in the Hereafter is a great punishment

Narrated `Ali:

Whenever I tell you a narration from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), by Allah, I would rather fall down from the sky than ascribe a false statement to him, but if I tell you something between me and you (not a Hadith) then it was indeed a trick (i.e., I may say things just to cheat my enemy). No doubt I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "During the last days there will appear some young foolish people who will say the best words but their faith will not go beyond their throats (i.e. they will have no faith) and will go out from (leave) their religion as an arrow goes out of the game. So, where-ever you find them, kill them, for who-ever kills them shall have reward on the Day of Resurrection."

Narrated Ali ibn AbuTalib:

A Jewess used to abuse the Prophet (ﷺ) and disparage him. A man strangled her till she died. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) declared that no recompense was payable for her blood.

Narrated Abdullah Ibn Abbas:

A blind man had a slave-mother who used to abuse the Prophet (ﷺ) and disparage him. He forbade her but she did not stop. He rebuked her but she did not give up her habit. One night she began to slander the Prophet (ﷺ) and abuse him. So he took a dagger, placed it on her belly, pressed it, and killed her. A child who came between her legs was smeared with the blood that was there. When the morning came, the Prophet (ﷺ) was informed about it. He assembled the people and said: I adjure by Allah the man who has done this action and I adjure him by my right to him that he should stand up. Jumping over the necks of the people and trembling the man stood up. He sat before the Prophet (ﷺ) and said: Messenger of Allah! I am her master; she used to abuse you and disparage you. I forbade her, but she did not stop, and I rebuked her, but she did not abandon her habit. I have two sons like pearls from her, and she was my companion. Last night she began to abuse and disparage you. So I took a dagger, put it on her belly and pressed it till I killed her. Thereupon the Prophet (ﷺ) said: Oh be witness, no retaliation is payable for her blood.

https://quranx.com/Hadith/IbnMajah/DarusSalam/Volume-3/Book-20/Hadith-2540/

It was narrated from `Ubadah bin Samit that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:

“Carry out the legal punishments on relatives and strangers, and do not let the fear of blame stop you from carrying out the command of Allah (SWT).”

The Plight of a Devout Zoroastrian Man from Yazd

The gentleman on the right in this photograph is my great great Grandfather, Behmard Noshirwan Yazdani (1880 - 1940), a devout Zoroastrian hailing from Yazd, Iran. Unfortunately, he suffered from the psychological and emotional distress associated with "#Islamotrauma," a term used to describe the trauma that individuals may experience due to discrimination, violence, and other traumatic events related to the abuse they have experienced from Islamist communities.

A little over a hundred years ago, my grandmother's family was forced to flee Iran due to persecution by Shi'ite Muslims. They were repeatedly harassed to convert to Islam. One day, Shi'ites broke into Behmard's home and threatened him with death, demanding that he convert to Islam. They told him they will kill him and kidnap his wife Kharman Gustasb Mubaraki (1892 - 1952) if he does not convert by the next day.

Faced with an impossible choice, with his life and his wife's at risk, Behmard and his wife fled to India to preserve their Zoroastrian faith and start a new life. Behmard's unwavering faith in Ahura Mazda was the right choice, as Zoroastrians in Iran faced brutal oppression.

The journey from Iran to India took Behmard and his wife three months, and they had to travel by foot during the night to avoid being captured. They did not want to leave their sacred homeland, but they had no choice. Behmard and his wife were captured by a Muslim man on their journey from Iran to India. The man was going to turn them into authorities but Behmard and his wife began praying manthravani from the Avesta. The man suddenly had a change of heart and let them go. Upon arrival in India, they started a new life and remained true to their Zoroastrian faith.

Behmard's unwavering commitment to his Zoroastrian faith was a triumph in the face of adversity. It was a time when Zoroastrians in Iran were subjected to severe oppression, which led to a dwindling population. Only 7,711 Zoroastrians remained in Kerman, Yazd, and Tehran combined when the Parsi philanthropist Maneckji Hataria visited Iran in the 19th century. However, today, the younger generation is returning to the Zoroastrian religion in large numbers, signaling the beginnings of a true Zoroastrian renaissance.

As a descendant of Behmard and other Zoroastrians who have endured more than a millennia of persecution, I am forever grateful to all the Zoroastrians who endured centuries of pogroms and persecution to save the religion from extinction. While we lost our country, we never lost our faith in God. One day soon, we will regain our Iran, and the malevolent mullahs who inflicted such pain on our community will retreat to the depths of hell where they belong. #IranRevoIution #Zoroastrianism #no_to_islamic_republic #FreedomForIran

"As an Iranian, I have explained many times to my western friends about the growing danger of Islamism. But they accused me of Islamophobia and forgot that I have Islamotrauma! And I am talking to them about a collective memory of Iranians from more than forty years of dangerous and criminal behavior of the Islamic government! Now you can see only parts of it with your own eyes. They still don't have power, if you don't control it, you will see more painful issues in the future and they will attack all the values ​​of modernity in your countries."
