..Eighteen Year-old Muslimah In Prison for Killing Rapist
An 18 year-old in America has been charged of murder and is being held
in a jail in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
Hala Gabr, was just 17 and three weeks of turning 18, when her foster
mother took her to Atlantic City, while she went into a casino. Hala
was left by herself to see the sights. After a while, Hala called a
cab to go back and meet up with her foster mother.
The cab driver offered her $20. to have sex with her. When Hala
refused, the cab driver pulled a knife on her and forced to a motel
room where he raped her violently. Medical records proved that she was
sexually violated. At some point during the whole ordeal, she hit the
cab driver with a bottle and knocked him to the ground. As he went
down, she reached for the knife and stabbed him 13 times.
She hid his body in the bed under the mattress, cleaned up the room,
drove off in his car and threw all of his belongings in a nearby
stream. These items have been found, negating the prosecution's claim
that she was stealing his belongings.
Because she was so shocked by the whole incident, she got into a car
accident, and was taken unconscious to a hospital. When she was
revived, she fled to her father's house in Brooklyn (from where she
originally escaped from abuse and thus put into a foster home). The
police found her purse in the car and traced her there, where she was
arrested.
The rapist, authorities said, frequently picked up prostitutes and was
known as a sxual predator in the Atlantic City area.
Hala does not have a criminal record, and although she cannot get the
death penalty because of her age at the time, she is subject to life
without parole for 50 years. She is currently being held on $500,000
dollars bail.
We are urging the readers to make du'a for Hala in every prayer and to
request that sisters write her at the following address:
Hala Gabr
Atlantic City Correctional Center
5060 Atlantic Avenue
Mays Landing, NJ 08330
even though in islam you not suppose 2 kill because iss like u've killed half of the nation, i understand why she did it....and in ma opinion it serves him right!!!!!....america law is sooo strict...Alhamdulillah she was saved 4rom death raw, coz thats what they do don't they....stupid laws!!

omg!! thats crazy what else could she do...it was self defence wasnt it?
walakumasalaam warahmatulahi wabarakathu
yeh it waz sis.. it makez me so mad how they would hardly do anythin 2 da guy if they caught him and he was alive.. she had 2 do it or else he could get away with it and attack her again. we jus gta pray fo her.. may Allah (swt) protect and help her to have a early leave.. and to grant us all jannah al fardaus ameen.
the qur'an states: "Whoever kills a human being, unless it be for murder or corruption on earth, it is as though he had killed all mankind, and whoever saves a life it is as though he had saved the life of all mankind."(5:31)
and the sis did have the right to protect herself especially after what he had done.. (because it says: 'unless it be for murder or corruption on the earth')

THAT IS COMPLETE B-S! Oh so now self-defense is against the law? What benefit could a rapist give to the world by being alive? Jeez, if it was Pres. Bush's daughters, heck he'd run out with a rifle! What is this world coming to?
May Allaah reward her for her pain and misery and grant her Jannatul-Firdaus... Ameen
exactly!!! obviously it would be different 4 that monkey face if it was on of his free-mason daughters....the law suddenly changes in that situation sis

“Whoever puts his trust in Allah, sufficient is Allah for him.”
believe me it is so hard to defend a rape case in any court, specially here in US , they will easy find a good lawyer who would make it sound that she did like it she actually wanted it,and she killed him for his money ,,,they call it freedom of speach
and the problem is her name , I mean it is not Rebece
Write to her? Isn't she in jail? And if she isn't, then what good would letters do? We need to protest!
yeh i know wa u mean sis.. but when people are in jail - they feel as if no1 cares about them no more and they feel as if no1 is there for them. this is the reason you should write to them to show them that someone cares and that other muslim brothers and sisters are supporting them. even write up ayahs translations from the qur'an to support them and make them feel more secure so they get closer to Allah (swt).
We are urging the readers to make du'a for Hala in every prayer and to
request that sisters write her at the following address:
Hala Gabr
Atlantic City Correctional Center
5060 Atlantic Avenue
Mays Landing, NJ 08330
and if we cant write to her - then we should pray for her at the least.
