Yemen: Muslims Burn Alive Female Relative for Converting to Christianity

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 19.5px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 1em;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Muslim relatives of a woman conspired to kill her by placing gasoline in one of her kitchen bottles, causing her to catch fire while cooking and burn to death.  The reason?  Earlier she had converted to Christianity and refused to return to Islam.  Now her husband (also an apostate to Christianity) and children are homeless and on the run; nor will police and other family members help them. The full story follows:</span></div> <div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 19.5px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 1em;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br></span></div> <blockquote style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: url(http://www.breakingisraelnews.com/wp-content/themes/bin-v2/dist/images/quote.png); background-origin: initial; background-position: 0% 18px; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-size: initial; box-sizing: border-box; font-style: italic; line-height: 22px; margin: 0px 0px 30px 40px; min-height: 60px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 60px;"> <div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 1em;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On the morning of June 9 in southern Yemen, Saeed woke to the sound of screaming. He shot out of bed, pushed panicked family members aside and saw his wife stumbling out of their kitchen, engulfed in flames.</span></div> <div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 1em;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">His wife, Nazeera, had been preparing breakfast at about 9 a.m. when she poured liquid from a cooking oil bottle into a hot pan. The liquid flashed, and the bottle exploded. While her four children watched, screaming, Nazeera was being burned alive.</span></div> <div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 1em;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“I rushed out of the room,” Saeed (full name undisclosed for security reasons) told <a href="http://morningstarnews.org/2014/08/woman-in-yemen-burned-to-death-for-her-faith/" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.298039); box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none;">Morning Star News</a>, weeping. “I couldn’t even speak to ask her what happened. All I could think about was putting the fire out and then getting her to the hospital. But my 16-year-old son, he couldn’t stop himself and held on to her, hugging her while she was burning. He got hurt, and I had to pull him away from her.”</span></div> <div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 1em;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">About two weeks later, Nazeera, 33, died as a result of her burns. When Saeed returned to his home in a village (undisclosed for security reasons) after her death, a relative told him the unthinkable – <span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">members of both his family and hers had taken the vegetable oil out of the bottle and replaced it with gasoline. Saeed knew the reason – many years ago, the two had become Christians and refused to return to Islam</span>…</span></div> <script language="JavaScript1.1" src="http://bdv.bidvertiser.com/BidVertiser.dbm?pid=579098%26bid=1449088" type="text/javascript"></script> <noscript><a href="http://www.bidvertiser.com/bdv/BidVertiser/bdv_advertiser.dbm">marketing</a></noscript> <script type="text/javascript"> ( function() { if (window.CHITIKA === undefined) { window.CHITIKA = { 'units' : [] }; }; var unit = {"publisher":"milevski21","width":300,"height":250,"sid":"Chitika Default"}; var placement_id = window.CHITIKA.units.length; window.CHITIKA.units.push(unit); document.write('<div id="chitikaAdBlock-' + placement_id + '"></div>'); var s = document.createElement('script'); s.type = 'text/javascript'; s.src = '//cdn.chitika.net/getads.js'; try { document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(s); } catch(e) { document.write(s.outerHTML); } }()); </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ads.qadserve.com/t?id=a2b34d3a-e07c-4678-a7a8-346319aafab6&size=728x90"></script> <div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 1em;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Before the attack, Saeed and his wife had already decided to flee their families and the 99 percent Muslim country on the Arabian Peninsula. They got their travel papers two days before the sabotaged bottle exploded.</span></div> <div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 1em;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After doctors said there was nothing more they could do for Nazeera, friends of the couple were able to secure a room in a hospital in Egypt for further treatment. Nazeera died that day, before they could go.</span></div> <div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 1em;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Saeed was with her when she died. Among her last words to him was not to worry and to take care of their children. Saeed left the hospital and took the two-hour trip back home. There a relative told him that one of his brothers and one of her brothers had conspired against them to punish them.</span></div> <div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 1em;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“I was told by one of our relatives that it was a set-up, and they replaced the cooking oil with petrol, which caught flames as soon as she poured it out,” he said.</span></div> <div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 1em;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When Saeed went to police for help, officers told him to bring witnesses who could testify about the alleged conspiracy to sabotage the cooking oil bottle. His children only saw the explosion and could not testify regarding sabotage, and Saeed’s relatives refused to incriminate the alleged conspirators, their own family members.</span></div> <figure class="wp-caption aligncenter" id="attachment_20952" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px auto 1.5em; max-width: 100%; padding: 4px; text-align: center; width: 198px;"><img alt="Nazeera receiving hospital treatment after the fire attack.
