A Burqa Is Perfect Cover For a Murder

originally posted by: Metallicus
No one is really sure why this person in the video stabbed an American teacher to death in an Abu Dhabi bathroom, but one thing is certain. A Burqa is the perfect outfit for assassination and murder. It is complete with gloves and plenty of hidey holes for knives, guns and other weapons.

In this video you see a person (you can't tell if it is male or female) head to an Abu Dhabi bathroom and allegedly murder an American Teacher. There are few clues available as to the identity of the perpetrator. Make special note of how hard it would be to get any forensics on this crime due to the Burqa worn by the perp.

This CCTV video was posted by the Abu Dhabi police.

Warning: Graphic Images

apparently the american teachers (the victim was one of them) were warned about a threat that they could be attacked by terrorist group

Tell me this people...if a law abiding citizen wears a Burka..(which is their right under the constitution)..but a few instances of crime being committed by people wearing a Burka...should they be banned?

Be careful how you answer...because this question is awfully familiar to the gun question..

I think the issue is more that it makes the wearer completely unidentifiable.

However, how many people on here argue that big brother is watching too closely?

Ban the burqa / niqab. This is the west. Adhere to our social norms, you after all chose to immigrate.

The Quran has no requirement that women cover their faces with a veil, or cover their bodies with the full-body burqua or chador.

Wikipedia

It has nothing to do with their religion beyond some peoples interpretation. One could then argue it's not covered by freedom of religion as no holy book mentions it's use.

Why do they have to?

I thought America had freedom of religion?

If it makes you nervous..isn't that your problem..not theirs.

Read before you post.

For starters, the burqa isn't part of Islam. It's more cultural than anything else. Hence the part of it NOT being covered by freedom of religion. Secondly, I didn't force any of these people to immigrate. When you immigrate, you adapt to the society you move to, not the other way around.

So no, it's not my problem. My country, THEIR problem. I doubt many western women would last long not wearing one in their country now would they?

Also, I'm rather tired of discussing such matters with people lacking common sense. Enjoy the thread.

A burqa (Urdu: بُرقع‎), (Arabic pronunciation: [ˈbʊrqʊʕ, ˈbʊrqɑʕ]a (also transliterated]burkha, bourkha, burka or burqu' from Arabic: برقع‎ burquʻ or burqaʻ), also known as chadri or paranja in Central Asia) is an enveloping outer garment worn by women in some Islamic traditions to cover their bodies when in public.

Burqa

Notice how it says "some" which I take to mean it is a choice.

If it is a choice..why are you trying to take that choice away from them because it makes you uncomfortable?

See above reply.

No it is not their problem that a minority have an issue. If it makes a few people nervous that is their problem not the people who choose to wear the Burqa. America is supposedly about freedom...not about making a few people comfortable.

Common sense dictates another's ignorance..is not another person's problem.

The whole case is very interesting. First I agree with all of you that the suspect is probably the man judging by the way he moves. However there is nothing what would help identify the suspect. It's like being invisible. But also his behavior is weird to put it mildly. Entering, leaving, taking to the security (?) and that garbage can move too.

I've seen male suicide bombers use the Burqa to sneak into market places. We know they were males because of the body parts.

I agree, the Burqa should be banned here in the west. At a minimum, the face covering portion of it.

I mean seriously!? How can this even be considered to be a form of ID?!

Also, did it look like they grabbed something off the garbage can before they rounded the corner to commit the crime? It struck me as odd how they waved their hand over it while passing by. Maybe that's where the knife came from?

Either that or it was not a 'garbage can' but rather, some sort of News/periodical stand which they grabbed the top issue and used to wrap the knife handle so as not to leave finger prints.

Wow, is that for real? That's amazing.

a reply to: ShakesPiers

No, I don't believe so...but there are plenty of lawsuits out there against States arguing for this very thing. None have won so far. The latest lawsuit is against the Canadian Government in regards to a ID card.

a reply to: TDawgRex

Reminds me of the time I had to get a new ID card which required giving up my fingerprints. I would have gotten away with getting a new one without giving my prints, if only I hadn't pulled of my fake bandages from both hands as I walked away after getting the receipt that would allow me to pick it up the next week.

Me and my damn "#@#% you" attitude.

Ah well, "they" already had my prints anyway.

Id say it was a female, if it were a man like some said, the security guy would have picked it up as she spoke to him seemingly asking a question. This is frightening if this is the beginning of a new trend.

Check out the size of the hand when the person presses the elevator button.

Not man-sized hand, imo.

a reply to: TDawgRex

6' 3"

Not unheard of but highly uncommon for a female.

a reply to: Onslaught2996

i say dump the burqa.
america is about freedom. people are not free to do anything and everything they want.
people can dress how they want to a point.
cant walk around with no bottoms on.
but but but freedom.

i say ditch the burqa. people can still choose to come here or not knowing they cant wear it.

also, i could be off on this cause i am no constitutional lawyer and i dont care enough to look it up the freedoms guaranteed are to citizens of the US. im pretty sure you are not a citizen the day you arrive here. at least not in all cases. so, no. all the people that are here that are not citizens do not have the same rights as citizens do.
just the way it is...

i would think ditching the burqa is a fair trade for being able to come here. maybe its not. that would be a choice they have to make then. if they are so bunged up about wearing on, then they can choose to stay in the sand box

I find it difficult to believe that the murdered could have known the intended victim was in the bathroom,

i do not

the reason why is the timestamp

the alledged murderer leaves the lift and disapears round the corner @ 13:13 , they re-appear from the same corridor @ 14:44

thats 90 minuites - on one floor of a school - to locate , issolate and murder the victim

now ASSUMING the victim was preselected .

how i would do it is :

arrive 5 minuites before a lecture ends [ knowledge gained from school timetable ]

and either awaut an orortunity to issolate the victim - or manufacture one

the thing is - we dont know if this was the first attempt or the 5th - the killer could have visited the school previously
