The Murder of Shaima Alawadi

The police cannot be giving out much information in an ongoing investigation, but the Prosecutor's Office can be exhorted to investigate and prosecute. Let's write to the San Diego County Prosecutor's Office.

Dear Prosecutors of San Diego County:


The case of Shaima Alawadi (http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2012/apr/04/records-hint-iraqi-womans-death-not-a-hate-crime/?page=1#article), who was murdered in her El Cajon home and the crime falsely reported and made to look like an anti-Muslim hate crime, has been mishandled and needs to be more competently investigated and prosecuted. Ms. Alawadi was taking steps to divorce her Muslim husband and move to Texas, where she had family. Her daughter, who was at home with her at the time of the attack, was being forced against her will to marry a cousin and received a text message not to "talk" to investigators. Yet, after Ms. Alawadi's death her husband and daughter were allowed to leave the country and bury Ms. Alawadi in Iraq. You (and the El Cajon Police Department) are well aware that her body was evidence and that her husband and daughter are suspects. It has now been months since her death and the investigation is being swept under the rug. That cannot be allowed to happen.



President Obama has attempted to eliminate the criminal intent of Shariah-compliant crimes perpetuated by Muslims in this country by illegally forbidding even the vocabulary of jihad (e.g., Islam, Muslim, Shariah law, jihad, etc.) in their prosecution. Besides giving jihadists a giant loophole in which to commit jihad (i.e., crimes against non-Muslims BECAUSE they are non-Muslims), as a policy it is against the Constitutional guarantee of equal treatment under the law. Let the crimes of Muslims be prosecuted for the crimes that they are, including an accurate portrayal of the specific intent of the perpetrator. Let the investigation of such crimes be done in an unbiased, factual, and accurate manner. Let Muslims be accountable under U.S. law and do not let Shariah law be enforced instead. Please do the job that you were sworn in to do and competently investigate and prosecute the Shaima Alawadi case.


Thank you.
