FNC: Texas Muslim Massacres Own Family While Dressed as Santa Claus

By Brad Wilmouth | December 30, 2011 | 12:29

Change font size:  A |  A

Imagine the media attention that would be garnered if any non-Muslim in the U.S. did something as sensationalistically violent and dramatic as to dress as Santa Claus and commit a mass murder against his own family at a Christmas gathering.

But this past weekend, a Muslim man in Texas who was reportedly angry at his family for becoming too westernized committed just such an egregious act, resulting in the deaths of seven people, as documented this morning by FNC's Fox and Friends. (Video below)

Arabic word for house is "beit" (cognate of Hebrew "beth") and for plain is "sahl." So, we'd have "Little Beit on the Sahl."

And as an extra bonus, this new, friendly program would be go a long way toward removing the stigma of the term "stoner."

and I have yet to see any report in either the FWST or the local TV news discuss his Muslim heritage, or even speculate that the shootings might have been religiously motivated. In fact, they brought the guy's brother on to try and emphasize how "western" he was. All in an attempt to avoid any mention of Islam and the fact that it is a murderous, totalitarian ideology (NOT religion).

If these mooooooooooooslems have a problem with being 'too westernized', they sure as hell shouldn't be here...........what's with these friggin' foreigners that want to move to the USA, and then want to bring their own damn culture and agenda with them, at the expense of ours??? Apparantly this 'multi-culterism' that I keep hearing about from the libs doesn't work real well with the mooooooooooslems, huh??

Yeah.....a proponent of the 'religion of peace', dressed up in an infidel 'holiday' costume, killing his own family on Christmas......
you can't make this sh*t up!!! And the news media won't cover it, other than a shallow reporting................but you can imagine if the guy was a Christian, a Republican, and an NRA member, right???

Plus, since it's called an 'honor' killing - that gives it some credibility - remember, you CAN'T say anything bad or negative about Islam, Muuuuuuhamed, or the moooooooooooooooooslems.

we got yet another story on smoke alarms, evacuation plans and how to make your home safer from fire, today, against the backdrop of the house fire in Connecticut.  But, aside from the one story on Christmas day about the practitioner of the religion of peace, dressed as Santa, we get nada, zero, zip as a follow-up to this story.  And, they have yet to identify this guy as a muslim. 

So, 6 victims of an honor killing, and a suicide gets no mention, because of the religion of the killer?  Unless one seeks the info from an overseas news outlet.

The reason is simple...

Submitted by winston smith on Fri, 12/30/2011 - 2:32pm.

After 9/11, there was much focus on Islam and muslim extremism. Almost immediately the Democrats capitalized on a great opportunity and added all Muslims and Muslim Americans into their ever-increasing ghetto of "victimized groups" --- thereby garnering more votes from a newly created minority group.

The American news media, which at every level is almost entirely a propagandist mouthpiece for the Democrat party, dutifully follow the marching orders of their Democrat controllers and follow a very tight, limited script when reporting negatively on Muslims -- if any reporting is done at all.

In this way, the Democrat party can hope to turn the entire Muslim community into a 90% Democrat voting political group that they can pander to during election cycles as they have historically done with other 'victimized' groups such as gays, environmentalists, blacks, Hispanics, women, the elderly, unions, etc.

The invisible "Muslim" massacres

Submitted by Gary Hall on Fri, 12/30/2011 - 3:46pm.

A quick "Google news" search for . . 

Grapevine Texas + "santa claus" + family + islam

. . . gets ya 4 hits. Substituting Muslim for Islam - gets ya 4 hits.

However, when you simply remove the words Muslim or Islam from the search, you get 1,190 hits.

I limited the search to the "past week."

Similarly, conducting the same search for all of the web, using Google, the results are: 172,000 to 27,200.

One might only guess that had the monster been a "Tea Party" member, how many millions of hits we'd get.

I heard about this story on Christmas day, but until now hadn't heard of the muslim connection. If it wasn't for NB I would never have heard of the muslim connection. But when a Christian shows his respect for God on the football field he's made fun of the msm and the liberal entertainment industry.

Submitted by Levingston on Sat, 12/31/2011 - 6:56am.

Hmmmm... this didn't say anything about him being angry at his family for becoming too westernized...

Family friends say a Texas man accused of killing six relatives in a Christmas Day murder-suicide was struggling financially and didn't like that his estranged wife was doing well.
Authorities say 56-year-old Aziz Yazdanpanah was dressed as Santa when he fatally shot his estranged wife, their two teenage children and three other relatives Sunday inside an apartment in the Dallas-Fort Worth suburb of Grapevine.
After a private burial for the six victims Thursday, family friend Azar Shahbazi said she believed Yazdanpanah was upset because his wife "was doing good on her own."
The wife's brother, says he'd been financially supporting the family. He says Yazdanpanah had been unemployed for more than a decade, but says he never thought Yazdanpanah would become violent.

Submitted by killa37 on Sat, 12/31/2011 - 9:06am.

'Unemployed for more than a DECADE'???? I wouldn't call that being 'unemployed'...........I'd call that either being 'retired', 'independantly wealthy', or..............lemme think..............living off the system??? Nah - it couldn't be that, could it??
No wonder this loser's wife left his sorry ass................of course, she, her kids, and her relatives paid the ultimate price for trying to do well on their own by becoming 'too westernized'..........

We all know that liberalism is a mental disorder, but I'd go as far as saying that Islam itself has - over hundreds of years of it's perverted, introverted, and incestually sick and deranged teachings and attitudes - turned it's own followers into mentally inbalanced human beings also...........and threatens a serious price to pay on anyone who may actually 'see the light' and want to get away from such a mindset.

Islamophilia

Submitted by Jimi Streets on Sun, 01/01/2012 - 1:29am.

How does one explain the government and media's defense of this religious death cult and the crimes committed by its adherents? Surely no rational person can in any way that would make it seem reasonable. In light of the death and destruction committed in Islam's name, how can any sane person explain popular culture's outright hatred of Christianity and Christians? It is impossible. Not in any way that would make it seem reasonable.
What will it take for the Islamophilic people in government and pop culture to awaken and act against a world-wide movement that wants them subjugated or dead? A dirty nuke going off in New York City? The destruction of Israel? A terrorist massacre at some metropolitan shopping mall?
Given that after 9/11 it took very little time for the enlightened Western apologists to act on behalf of Islamic terrorists, I seriously doubt that anything could possibly cause the elites of Western culture to wake up and address this cancer upon our planet.
God save us from the suicidal insanity of those that claim to know better than we "simpletons."

The so-called "elites" want us all dead

Submitted by falcon on Sun, 01/01/2012 - 11:13am.

Leftists and their "elites" are anti-life. Especially anti-Human life. You see garbage like PETA calling for Sea World in San Diego to release its killer whales from their "unconstitutional" "animal slavery" (you can see the story on this very website: http://newsbusters.org/blogs/tim-graham/2011/12/31/npr-station-promotes-...), Planned Parenthood and its continuing practice of eugenics, the "dependence" mentality that the Left has created that it will yank out from under the feet of the dependents when it is no longer politically expedient to support them, anti-gun laws, and the general derision and contempt with which the Left treats "the masses."

We're in their way. They want the world for themselves, and when they have it, they'll turn on each other, until there is no one left alive on the planet. If their actions are allowed to proceed to their logical conclusion, we're all hosed.

Culture of death...

Submitted by Jimi Streets on Mon, 01/02/2012 - 3:06am.

Soooooo true. You'd better believe that many, many liberals would indeed eliminate (exterminate) the conservatives that stand in their way, at least those they hate most, like Rush, Hannity, Beck, Levin, etc.. Given time and unrestrained growth of their power, eventually the liberal intelligentsia would surely outlaw conservative speech and even thought. There would be no shortage of useful idiots that, brainwashed beyond redemption, would happily turn in their neighbors, friends or family, for "unlawful" behavior. A short perusal through the comments in many places like YouTube and anyone can see just how hateful liberals are towards any dissenting views and those that espouse them. Thanks to the hateful rhetoric coming from liberal leaders in government and media, their ignorant followers are convinced that they are engaged in a battle against an exceedingly evil foe: Conservatism and conservatives. Therefore it is not a very long leap to say that one day if given the chance, liberals would outlaw Christianity, conservatism, and anything else that "disrupts the greater good" in their twisted utopia where good is evil, evil is good, up is down and down is up. In other words, liberalism stands contrary to normal, rational, human thought.
Then again, if one can accept, vociferously defend, and propagate the exceedingly heinous act of abortion upon innocent life, then I reckon that those people can be convinced that any and everything is "good".

Its not paranoia if they're really out to get you...
