Excerpt:
On January 1, 2008, two American teenager sisters, 17 year-old Amina Said, and 18 year-old Sarah Said, were shot to death by their Egyptian father, Yaser Said, in Irving, Texas. After a lifetime of being physically and sexually abused by their father, the girls had finally decided to run away.
Sarah had rejected an arranged marriage with a much-older friend of her father's whom she had never met. Both Amina and Sarah had boyfriends—and thus, their father viewed them as "whores" who had disobeyed the rules and who therefore deserved to die.
Yaser fled after the murder and has yet to be found.
