Olde Tyme Religion
Islam 'insulted' by alleged child killer's mug shot, says husband
2009-04-10
Tough call. "Lurid Crime Tales" or "Olde Tyme Religon"...
The police booking photo of alleged child killer Nour Hadid released Tuesday is an "insult against our religion," says Hadid's husband, Alaeddin.
What isn't?
Orland Park police detectives say the 26-year-old Muslim woman was treated as any other suspect in a murder probe would be, and they did not intend to humiliate her when they photographed her Sunday without her headscarf and wearing only a skimpy top.
And she alledgedly beat a two year old to death so we really didn't give a shit...
Nour Hadid is accused of beating her 2-year-old niece Bhia Hadid to death over four days at her home on the 9000 block of West 140th Street. The child had 55 separate bruises and was beaten "from head to toe," according to prosecutors, who say Hadid confessed.
Nice. Is that an insult to hubby's religion too, or did the little slut deserve it?
But Alaeddin Hadid - who insists his wife is innocent - said Orland Park police are "really going to be in big trouble" for releasing the woman's booking photo to the news media after she was charged with first-degree murder.
What're ya gonna do, cut the chiefs head off?
The Hadids are Muslims and Nour "never leaves the home without covering up," said Alaeddin, who's vowed to sue.
Oh. Just sue. Must be a Moderate Muslim...
By custom, some practicing Muslim women wear the hijab, or headscarf, and cover their arms and legs when in public. In the mug shot, a bare-headed and obviously emotional Nour appears to be protecting her modesty with her hands.
The same hands she beat the kid to death with?
"It is against our religion; we do not do this in our culture," Alaeddin said. "People have been calling me about this all day."
All day, I tells ya! Whadda pain in the ass!
Bhia Hadid's funeral took place Thursday.

Orland Park police Cmdr. Chuck Doll said the mug shot was taken "for identification purposes" before Hadid made her confession. Her headscarf was handed back to her after the photo was taken, Doll said. "A matron was with her at all times while she was in our custody," Doll said. A matron is a law enforcement official who works with women held in custody. "She was wearing a tank top, and she had the headscarf when she was interviewed."
I can't believe I've gotta justify this shit...
The headscarf later was taken from her after she made suicide threats, he said.
Give it back to her. Maybe some shoelaces and a belt too Need a razor to shave your legs, honey?
A sobbing Hadid appeared without the headscarf at the Bridgeview courthouse Tuesday and is being held without bail at the Cermak Medical Center at the Cook County Jail, where she remains on suicide watch.
Think she'll do it, Muldoon?
Why? Is there a pool?

Police have said her husband's possible involvement in Bhia's death still is under investigation.
A Muslim guy involved in something like this? Why that's...unthinkable.
Nour Hadid's attorney, Frank Celani, said he hopes to speak with her today about the mug shot.
Yeah, you can get around to beaten to death kid part later...
Islamic advocacy groups seem wary of taking up Hadid's cause. Spokesmen for the Council on Islamic American Relations, the Islamic Society of North America and the Bridgeview Mosque Foundation all declined to comment Thursday.
Woah! Watch out! Hot potato!!
But Dr. Mohammed Sahloul, chairman of the Council of Islamic Organizations of Chicago, said that while police should follow the usual procedures with all defendants, "they should respect the modesty of the accused."
So police "should should follow the usual procedures with all defendants". Except Muslims, right, doc? Cuz they're special, right, doc?
Sahloul, who made it clear he was not aware of the Hadid case and was speaking in general terms about the hijab, pointed out that Muslim women are allowed to wear hijabs in photos for their state IDs. "If it's for the purposes of identification and they cover in public, then that's going to be more effective in identifying them anyway," he said.
Stupid infidels! Why do I have to expalin it to you?
Former chairman Kareem Irfan said, "It's particularly humiliating because she appears to be in her underwear. I don't condone what she's alleged to have done. But if it was a nun accused of these crimes, would they treat her the same way?"
Why, yes. Yes they would.
The offensive mugshot and Nour in her pious days:

What doesn't insult I-slam?

#12  BigEd, strictly speaking this is a local law enforcement issue. The federal government should have nothing to do with it.
Of course, I said "should", rather than "will". These days, all government is federal.

Who might be in BIG TROUBLE -- methinks is a matter of debate
Until B.O., Harry Quisling, and Nimrod Nancy put out a decree changibg it, one plus one still equals two.

#8  Can't help wondering if Alladin is the killer and the woman is taking the rap for him for fear that he'll kill her too. It'd just kinda fit into a pattern, now, wouldn't it?

#7  "It is against our religion; we do not do this in our culture," Alaeddin said

Alaeddin went on to clarify:

"I donÂ’t mean the infanticide and flaming gas baths part just the not wearing the hijab in public thing."

#6  According to another report I read, Alladin liked to stash his money under his mattress and that's what he accused her of stealing.
Perhaps the IRS might like to pay him a visit?

#5  If anyone is wondering if the average American understands the issues, take a look at the comments to the news article.

#4  Police not only have the right but have a duty to release photos of accused individuals. Otherwise you'd have a police state in which we would never know the identity of who's been arrested. Alaeddin might be more comfortable with that.

In turn, newspapers have an absolute right to print booking photos.

So Alaeddin doesn't have much to complain about, which is why he's harping on the photo and not on his dead niece.

Full disclosure: I live a few miles away and had heard about this earlier, but didn't have a news account that I could point to on the web until the Southtown came to press.

#3  Jordanian, to answer your questions and...there's more...

Alaeddin Hadid also protested his wife's innocence. "This is a misunderstanding," he told reporters. He claimed Bhia had fallen down a staircase at the family home.

"I always told my wife to close the door or one of the children would fall down and she'd end up in jail," he said. He claimed his wife had "stupidly" not told police about the accident when she was arrested and that, as recently as Friday evening, when the family ate a meal at KFC and took a trip to the mall, Bhia was unhurt.

It's not the first time one of Alaeddin Hadid's spouses has been accused of hurting children. His first wife, Samer, was disfigured and three of the couple's children burned in 2003 when she told police she "accidentally" poured gasoline on a fire at their home in Hickory Hills.

Neither she nor Alaeddin Hadid was charged in connection with that case, which has not been reopened, investigators from the South Suburban Major Crimes Task Force probing Bhia's death said Tuesday.


He must've run out of acid...

#2  More...

Bhia was pronounced dead at Palos Community Hospital in Palos Heights at 6:27 p.m. Sunday, according to the Cook County Medical ExaminerÂ’s office. An autopsy Monday found she died of blunt force trauma, which caused hemorrhaging to the brain, kidneys and intestines. Her death was ruled a homicide, the medical examinerÂ’s office said.

Hadid admitted to repeatedly beating the child's body using wooden spoon, a stick and shoes, prosecutors said. She also bit and pinched the child on the chest.

Hadid allegedly said she beat the child because her husband accused her of stealing money and called her names. In a videotaped confession, she said she took it out on the child, according to court records.
