Muslim who murdered his two daughters for dating non-Muslims will finally stand trial
The report below says that Yaser Said was enraged with his daughters Amina and Sarah because they were dating American boys. That’s not quite accurate. WFAA was more honest in June 2021, when it reported that “police believe Yaser Said was angry his daughters were dating boys who were non-Muslim and killed them.”
That’s in accord with Islamic law, which forbids Muslim women from marrying non-Muslim men. This was no new revelation: back in January 2008, the Dallas Morning News reported that the girls’ mother Patricia had said (regarding Amina) that “since they are Muslim that the daughter was only allowed to date other Muslims. Yaser had found out she went on a date with a non-Muslim and became very angry and threatened her with bodily harm.”
But to note such things is “Islamophobic,” and so in this new report, WFAA prevaricates.
“Former FBI Top 10 fugitive to stand trial in Dallas over deaths of his two daughters,” by Rebecca Lopez, WFAA, July 31, 2022:
IRVING, Texas — Sarah, 17, and Amina Said, 18, had big hopes of going to college and living the American dream.
Until those dreams were cut short after they were shot and killed.
Their accused killer is their father, Yaser Said.
Home videos give a glimpse into their lives. Behind the camera is their father.
“He followed them everywhere he went and recorded their every move,” said Ruth Trotter, a family friend.
Trotter whose son, Joseph, dated Amina says Said was obsessed with his daughters and was abusive.
When they were younger, Amina and Sarah filed a police report accusing him of sexual assault. Eventually, the charges were dropped.
But police believed the girls were scared of their father.
And police believed he became jealous and obsessed because the girls both dated American boys.
Police said it caused him to do the unthinkable.
“I think it frustrated him and he couldn’t handle it and he killed them,” said detective Eric Curtis of the Irving Police Department.
Trotter says Amina told her that her father might kill her.
“I knew the threat was real and told us her dad might kill them,” said Trotter.
The girls begged their mother, Patricia, to leave. In December of 2008, she took Amina and Sarah and two friends to Oklahoma.
But police said on New Year’s Eve after talking to Said, Patricia brought the girls back home and convinced them to have dinner with him alone.
Police believed Said borrowed a taxi cab from a friend and that’s where he shot his daughters.
Sarah managed to call 911 and named her father as her killer.
“My father shot me. I’m dying.. I’m dying,” said Sarah.
“You hear her last breath fighting ’til the very end,” said Trotter.
Amina was shot twice. Sarah was shot nine times….
Meanwhile, Yaser Said has spent some of his time in the Dallas County jail writing rambling letters to the judge, proclaiming his innocence.
In one letter he wrote, “I was not happy about my kids’ dating activity. But, I did not do the killings or any plan to hurt them.”
Said, who is 65 years old, will stand trial for capital murder.
The Dallas County district attorney has said he won’t seek the death penalty, so, if convicted, Said will be automatically sentenced to life without parole.
