Noor Almalaki was run over in an honor killing last November in Arizona by her father for being "too Americnaized" and not Muslim enough. She hung on to dear life for three days before succumbing to her wounds.
Gülsüm was severely beaten (repeatedly), scared to death of her family (and rightly so), and ultimately brutally beaten beyond recognition and "honor" murdered because she refused forced Islamic marriage in Turkey.
Banaz Mahmood was killed in her apartment in London by her father, Mahmood, and his brother Ali Mahmood and 4 others because they didn't approve of her boyfriend. She had dishonored her Muslim family by falling in love with the "wrong" man. So they stomped on her, then strangled her to death. Her body was then moved 100 miles to Birmingham, where she was buried in a suitcase in a garden behind a house. They had tried to kill her before. Watch this video of Banaz days before her death, telling of the attempts to kill her.
Banaz had reported to the police 4 times that her family was trying to kill her.
Her sister, who narrowly escaped death herself and now lives in fear of her life, breaks her silence. Every time Bekhal Mahmod leaves the safety of her home, she wears the hijab with a black veil covering her face -- even though she would give anything for the freedom not to have to.
The stories are endless, and these girls have nowhere to go. Why in the case of Tulay Goren did police send her home to die at the hands of her violent father? Tulay Goren, a Muslim schoolgirl, was murdered by her father in an "honour killing." She repeatedly told police in the days before her death how she was being threatened and assaulted.The triangle that flanks the ads in the front and in the back reads:
