On January the first, my life was turned upside down. With one phone call, and the news of my great-neices (Sarah and Amina Said) murders, I was driven to explore the why's of thier deaths! In doing so, I was forced to face something so very foreign to me..."honor killings". Indeed, Sarah and Amina were murdered for the sake of "cleansing" the Said name! How did they dirty this name? Both girls, thought for themselves, they saw education as an open door to freedom and to a life they could only dream about! Amina, fought the idea of having to go to Egypt, after graduation, only to be married off to whomever daddy had chosen!
She spoke to one of her teachers about her fear but, truly, no one heard her words of despair! No one heard Sarah's words when she would freely speak of her fear of her dad! No one, listened to these girls except for the deceptive dad and the spying brother! In fact, Sarah had proclaimed that she was afraid of her uncles taking her away and yet, no comfort nor, security did she ever find! Not in this life!!
These two brilliant girls are in a grave this very day because of a terroristic family and not one single person to truly place trust. Instead, look at the photos of these girls and you will see that they shared more than a sisterhood...they shared pain, terror and eventually...death, together, at the hands of thier dad and others who helped him accomplish his "duty".
In my search for answers, I discovered things which have just broken my heart! Yaser Said, not only terrorized, sexually abused, and murdered his own children...he raped my youngest niece and molested another one as well! I was LIVID when I found this out! Especially, because my sister, the mother to these girls, NEVER said a word to me about these things! Why? I asked myself for months! Then, finally I was told why she could not tell me. She was afraid Yaser would kill one of them. If her husband had tried to talk to Yaser, she knew Yaser would kill him as, Yaser always drove around with a machine gun and he let them know this too. Had she informed the police, I am certain he would have retaliated. In other words, Yaser was terrorizing most of my sisters entire family! She died at the age of fifty, from a major stroke....now, I understand why! Her life was filled with the knowledge of what Yaser was capable of doing and on many occasions, she would voice her fears to me, "I am afraid that one day, Yaser will kill those girls and Tissy too"! Well, we certainly know that part of her fears have come to fruition! Read more ...
