Sharia in USA Courts

Last Year I was asked on Tea Party Radio when do I think America will be in danger of having Sharia take over the country. From my research on this barbaric form of practice I said it would be by 2012. They were shocked by my answer and said we thought much later. Sharia has been creeping into our schools when Christmas and Hanukkah has been thrown out.When  the famous phase" we don't want to insult the Muslims" or you begin to hear "Islamic phobia"  it means the beginning of the 3rd stage. When you have liberals here who say " Oh I have friends who are Muslims and they are so nice". That is the beginning of the 3rd stage. When they begin to demand and riot in the streets like they are doing in every major city in the USA that is the beginning of the 3rd stage. We are not a Sharia County or an Islamic County. We are America, and it's time to stop this foreign barbaric way of life now. I personally do not want to see children with limbs cut off because they shoplifted or women who were just talking to men alone be accused of prostitution and stoned to death in the streets. I dont want to see Churches or Synagogues , Buddhist or Hindu Temples burnt down with people inside who are praying.

Now you are going to say Oh Islam like Shalom means Peace. Islam means SUBMIT! Your going to say Oh those are radicals. Ever hear of Mob Violence? You get one neighbor who is a leader upset and all of them follow. 

If Sharia is taking hold in America buy guns and ammo you are going to need it to defend your home your family and your life. Teach each person in your home how to use it . Liberals are going to say guns kill. No kidding and swords and knives behead people and ropes hang people and poison kills people , Food chokes people. And so do liberals ideas kill people to give up their arms. There are studies that show their is less crime in countries who allows you to own a gun then in countries who don't allow guns. 

Obama is a Muslim and he wants Sharia in the USA, Stop Obama NOW Vote him out in the Democratic Election. Vote for Leah Lax. Donate to stop Sharai in America . Visit Leah Lax . Buy a bumper sticker and show your support and demand that Main Stream Media hear her.

Many cases being decided by edicts from Muhammad

Islamic law, or Shariah, already is being applied in the U.S. court system, according to an extensive new report.

A recent Center for Security Policy study called "Shariah Law and American State Courts: An Assessment of State Appellate Court Cases outlines dozens of cases in which the Islamic system of law has been applied.

Center spokesman David Reaboi said the Islamic strictures are being carried out mostly in cases in which foreigners are the principals.

"Shariah enters U.S. courts through the practice of comity to foreign law," Reaboi explained. "This happens, for example, when a judge decides to allow the use of say, Pakistani or Saudi family law (Shariah) in a dispute between Pakistanis or Saudis."

He said the study only scratches the surface of Shariah's presence in the nation.

"For every case in this sample drawn from published appellate legal cases, there are innumerable cases at the trial level that remain unnoticed except by the participants," the study said. "Thus, this report is a only a sample of possible cases – a 'tip of the iceberg' – of legal cases involving Shariah in local, state and federal courts."

Among the cases cited was one from New Jersey in which a wife sought a restraining order against her husband because of spousal abuse.

"S.D. (wife) and M.J.R. (husband) were both Muslims and citizens of Morocco and both resided in New Jersey. After only three months of marriage, husband began physically abusing wife. The physical abuse administered by husband injured wife's entire body including her breasts and pubic area," the report said. "Additionally, husband forced himself on wife and had non-consensual sex with her on multiple occasions. Husband stated to wife that Islam allowed him to have sex with her at any time he wished. Wife asked the trial court to grant a restraining order against husband shortly after he verbally divorced her in front of their imam," the report said.

"The trial court refused to issue a final restraining order against husband finding that, although husband had harassed and assaulted wife, husband believed it was his religious right to have non-consensual sex with his wife and that belief precluded any criminal intent on the part of husband," according to the report.

"The New Jersey appellate court reversed the trial court and ordered that the trial court enter a final restraining order against husband. The New Jersey appellate court stated that the trial court erroneously allowed the husband's religious beliefs to excuse him from New Jersey’s criminal code and that husband knowingly engaged in non-consensual sex with wife," the report said.

The report also presents details of 19 more "top cases" and a summary of 50 cases from 23 states that have used Shariah as the basis for court decisions.

American Center for Law and Justice Shariah expert Shaheryar Gill said in the prominent New Jersey case, "the judge actually looked at Shariah law to decide."

Gill says an ACLJ book, "Shariah Law: Radical Islam's Threat to the U.S. Constitution," discusses the problem.

"In the case of 'S.D. v. M.J.R,' the New Jersey appellate court rightly refused to accommodate the sincerely held religious beliefs of a Muslim man who physically, verbally, and sexually abused his wife in accordance with Shariah," the ACLJ book says.

The study emphasizes that family law is only part of the complete Shariah picture. It concludes that since Islamic religious law moves further than American constitutional law on a range of subjects, Shariah is incompatible with U.S. precedents.

"Institutionalized, authoritative Shariah is comprehensive and by definition without limit in its ambitions and scope, and it also includes legally mandated, recommended, permitted, discouraged and prohibited practices that are strongly biased and discriminatory against women, homosexuals and non-Muslims," the study said.

"Shariah law provides a legal framework for violence up to and including legalized murder against apostates (people who have left Islam), homosexuals, blasphemers and especially women accused of various crimes," the study said.

"Just this year in 2011, in Pakistan's Shariah legal system, both apostates and blasphemers have been imprisoned and faced execution. Shariah criminal punishments are extreme, including amputations and lashings for numerous crimes," the study reported.

WND reported in January about the high profile blasphemy case of Pakistani Christian woman Asia Bibi, who received the death penalty for blasphemy, simply for sharing the Gospel with her Muslim coworkers.

WND also reported in June that former terrorist Kamal Saleem agreed that one of the methods of carrying out jihad is through the courts.

"What they're trying to do is fake cases for Islam and these cases are done purposefully. We take an imam, there are two of them. They were fighting against each other and the fight was over a mosque," Saleem said. "That is so devious and it is part of the culture of Islamic invasion. These two imams are fighting over a mosque in Florida. Each imam says it belongs to me.

"One says I built it and I raised the funds. The other one says the Wahhabi government put me over here and they're the ones who sent the money. Both of them are right," Saleem continued.

"They went to the Supreme Court in Florida. What happened is that they said this was a Muslim matter and you need to judge us by Islamic Shariah law or you will not understand how these things work," he said.

Gill said there are other recent cases that demonstrate the level to which Shariah has infiltrated the court system.

"There are different types of cases in which you see that Shariah or Islamic law is applied or is required to be applied, or looked at," Gill said.

"For example, indirectly, there are cases in which foreign judgments are brought into the United States and enforced here," he said.

One such case according to the ACLJ's booklet is the case of 'Farah v. Farah,' heard in Virginia.

In that case, a Virginia trial judge recognized the validity of a Muslim marriage that was conducted through a proxy in England."

"The trial judge ruled that the marriage, which was solemnized in England (though no certificate of marriage was issued by any English authority) and its ceremony completed in Pakistan, must be honored in Virginia because 'the law of the state of Pakistan sanctions marriages performed under the personal law of the parties which in this case was Moslem law,'" the ACLJ book reported.

The book pointed out that the Virginia court, "correctly recognized, however, that Pakistan's recognition of Shariah 'does not control the issue of the validity of the marriage under Virginia law.' Instead, the court applied Virginia law, which only granted comity according to the principles of the location celebrating the marriage, which was England."

There is also the California case of "Malak v. Malak," which involved a Lebanese court decision.

"The court determined, however, that the Lebanese order was enforceable because even though the Lebanese court had not explicitly applied the 'best interests of the child' standard, its decision aligned with California's 'best interests of the child' standard," the ACLJ book said.

An Emory University Law School publication noted that the "Malak" case was cited as precedent in other Muslim child custody cases.

Atlas Shrugs publisher and Islam analyst Pamela Geller says that Islamic law cited as the basis for any American court decision shows that the American legal system is turning a dangerous corner.

"It is setting a very dangerous precedent. Shariah law and U.S. law conflict in numerous ways, including on issues of freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, and equality of rights for women. Allowing Shariah to be a determining factor in U.S. courtrooms threatens those rights for all of us," Geller said.

4 Stages of Islamic Conquest:

(PDF version here. Click, save, share.)

STAGE 1: INFILTRATION

Muslims begin moving to non-Muslim countries in increasing numbers and the beginning of cultural conflicts are visible, though often subtle.

• First migration wave to non-Muslim “host” country.
• Appeal for humanitarian tolerance from the host society.
• Attempts to portray Islam as a peaceful & Muslims as victims of misunderstanding and racism (even though Islam is not a ‘race’).
• High Muslim birth rate in host country increase Muslim population.
• Mosques used to spread Islam and dislike of host country & culture.
• Calls to criminalize “Islamophobia” as a hate crime.
• Threatened legal action for perceived discrimination.
• Offers of “interfaith dialogue” to indoctrinate non-Muslims.

How many nations are suffering from Islamic infiltration? One? A handful? Nearly every nation? The Islamic ‘leadership” of the Muslim Brotherhood and others wish to dissolve each nation’s sovereignty and replace it with the global imposition of Islamic sharia law. Sharia law, based on the koran, sira and hadith, condemns liberty and forbids equality and is inconsistent with the laws of all Western nations. As the author and historian Serge Trifkovic states:

“The refusal of the Western elite class to protect their nations from jihadist infiltration is the biggest betrayal in history.”

STAGE 2:   CONSOLIDATION OF POWER

Muslim immigrants and host country converts continue demands for accommodation in employment, education, social services, financing and courts.

• Proselytizing increases; Establishment and Recruitment of Jihadi cells.
• Efforts to convert alienated segments of the population to Islam.
• Revisionist efforts to Islamize history.
• Efforts to destroy historic evidence that reveal true Islamism.
• Increased anti-western propaganda and psychological warfare.
• Efforts to recruit allies who share similar goals (communists, anarchists).
• Attempts to indoctrinate children to Islamist viewpoint.
• Increased efforts to intimidate, silence and eliminate non-Muslims.
• Efforts to introduce blasphemy and hate laws in order to silence critics.
• Continued focus on enlarging Muslim population by increasing Muslim births and immigration.
• Use of charities to recruit supporters and fund jihad.
• Covert efforts to bring about the destruction of host society from within.
• Development of Muslim political base in non-Muslim host society.
• Islamic Financial networks fund political growth, acquisition of land.
• Highly visible assassination of critics aimed to intimidate opposition.
• Tolerance of non-Muslims diminishes.
• Greater demands to adopt strict Islamic conduct.
• Clandestine amassing of weapons and explosives in hidden locations.
• Overt disregard/rejection of non-Muslim society’s legal system, culture.
• Efforts to undermine and destroy power base of non-Muslim religions including and especially Jews and Christians.

Is there a pattern here? Theo van Gogh is murdered in the Netherlands for ‘insulting’ Islam; the Organization of the Islamic Conference demands ‘anti-blasphemy’ laws through the United Nations; France is set afire regularly by ‘youths’ (read Muslims); the rise of (dis-) honor killings…holocaust denial…anti-Semitism…deception re the tenets of Islam; hatred toward Christians and Jews and Hindus and Buddhists.  The pattern for all to see is the rise of Islamic intolerance and the covert/cultural jihad to remake host societies into sharia-compliant worlds – to remove host sovereignty and replace it with Islamic sharia law.  Sharia law that condemns earthly liberty and individual freedom, that forbids equality among faiths and between the sexes, that rejects the concept of nations outside the global house of Islam, that of dar al-Islam.

STAGE 3: OPEN WAR w/ LEADERSHIP & CULTURE

Open violence to impose Sharia law and associated cultural restrictions; rejection of host government, subjugation of other religions and customs.

• Intentional efforts to undermine the host government & culture.
• Acts of barbarity to intimidate citizens and foster fear and submission.
• Open and covert efforts to cause economic collapse of the society.
• All opposition is challenged and either eradicated or silenced.
• Mass execution of non-Muslims.
• Widespread ethnic cleansing by Islamic militias.
• Rejection and defiance of host society secular laws or culture.
• Murder of “moderate” Muslim intellectuals who don’t support Islamization.
• Destruction of churches, synagogues and other non-Muslim institutions.
• Women are restricted further in accordance with Sharia law.
• Large-scale destruction of population, assassinations, bombings.
• Toppling of government and usurpation of political power.
• Imposition of Sharia law

The website http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/ keeps track of the number of violent jihad attacks as best it can. The site lists more than 14,000 attacks since September 2001. It is worth a visit. What is occurring, however, that is likely inestimable are events where muslims are bullied by other muslims for not being “muslim enough,” where non-Muslims are intimidated into doing or not doing what they desire, where remnant populations are in a death spiral simply for being non-muslim in a predominantly muslim area. Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists Animists and Atheists meet with death, property destruction or confiscation, forced conversion, rape, excessive taxation (the jizya), enslavement, riotous mobs and various other forms of islam (in-) justice at the hands of muslims in Sudan, Philippines, Kenya, Malaysia, India, etc.  And let us not forget ‘death to Apostates’ the world over.

STAGE 4: Totalitarian ISLAMIC “THEOCRACY”

Islam becomes the only religious-political-judicial-cultural ideology.

• Sharia becomes the “law of the land.
• All non-Islamic human rights cancelled.
• Enslavement and genocide of non-Muslim population.
• Freedom of speech and the press eradicated.
• All religions other than Islam are forbidden and destroyed.
• Destruction of all evidence of non-Muslim culture, populations and symbols in country (Buddhas, houses of worship, art, etc).

The House of Islam (“peace”), dar al-Islam, includes those nations that have submitted to Islamic rule, to the soul crushing, liberty-condemning, discriminatory law of Sharia. The rest of the world in in the House of War, dar al-harb, because it does not submit to Sharia, and exists in a state of rebellion or war with the will of ‘Allah.’ No non-Muslim state or its citizens are “innocent,” and remain viable targets of war for not believing in ‘Allah.’ The Christian, Jewish, Coptic, Hindu and Zoroastrian peoples of world have suffered under subjugation for centuries. The Dhimmi-esque are forbidden to construct houses of worship or repair existing ones, economically crippled by the heavy jizya (tax), socially humiliated, legally discriminated against,  criminally targeted and generally kept in a permanent state of weakness, fear and vulnerability by Islamic governments.

It should be noted that forced conversions (Egypt) and slavery (Sudan) are still reported. Homosexuals have been hung in the public square in Iran. Young girls are married to old men. Apostates are threatened with death. “Honor” killings are routine. Women are legally second-class citizens, though Muslim males insist they are “treated better” than in the West. These more obvious manifestations may distract from some less obvious ones such as the lack of intellectual inquiry in science, narrow scope of writing, all but non-existent art and music, sexual use and abuse of youth and women, and the disregard for personal fulfillment, joy and wonder. Look into the eyes of a recently married 12 year old girl to see the consequence of the moral deprivation spawned by Islam.

Sharia Honor Killing Case Swept Under the Rug

October 5, 2011 

by Javier Manjarres and Pamela Geller (AtlasShrugs)

The abhorrent practice of ‘honor killings’ by radical Islamists beholden to the precepts of Sharia law is going on right here in the United States- some say that these killings are becoming more prevalent, although no statistics for such killings are recorded.  Unfortunately, political correctness and fear of the “Muslim street” here in America are restraining not only the media from accurately reporting on these cases, but law enforcement as well from aggressively investigating these cases as well as identifying that these murders are indeed “honor killings”.  One such case that appears to have been grossly mischaracterized and likely was an honor killing involves the death of Fatima Abdallah from Tampa, FL.

Abdallah was found dead in in the home of her brother, Muhammad Abdullah Hmeid on August 17th, 2009.  The Tampa Medical Examiner’s Office determined that the cause of death was that the “Decedent fell and struck her head,” and ruled the death to be accidental.
Subsequent to this finding, the Tampa Medical Examiner’s Office has come under fire from critics who charge that the office may be attempting to quash any further questioning of the Office’s determination which ruled Abdallah’s death to be an accidental death- possibly done out of fear of Muslim reprisal. Tampa Police Crime Scene Technician Shelby Garman requested that her name be removed from the Tampa Police Department GO report because of “fear of Muslim reprisal.”
The Tampa Police Department and the Medical Examiners Office both concluded that Abdallah died by  banging her own head against a coffee table repeatedly- yes, you read that right.  A member of Tampa Rescue called the Tampa Police’s explanation “illogical” and reported that Abdallah appeared to have been badly beaten.  What’s more, there was a history of abuse against Abdallah by certain members of her family, and she was quoted before her death by a neighbor who said that Abdallah’s brother did “unspeakable things to her.”  

The Florida Family Association took note of this case early on and ultimately hired its own independent private investigator who raised a major red flag about the investigation-

“There is a glaring absence of any suspicion, from either report (TPD and ME reports), that the decedent could have possibly been a victim of an assault that eventually caused her death.” – Prestige Investigations, Inc. report on the death of Fatima Abdallah 

You can read the Florida Family Association’s in-depth report on the killing here (with graphic images of the crime scene).

If Florida law enforcement agencies are reluctant to investigate and aggressively pursue charges in the context of honor killings for fear of reprisal, it means that we are effectively being governed by the vile precepts of Sharia that command these honor killings.  Our communities should stand united, break through the silent complicity of family members that too often attends these killings, and pursue justice.
Attorney General Pam Bondi’s attention was also solicited on this case, and her office issued the following reply-

We understand that you are requesting an investigation of “the Tampa Police Department and Hillsborough County Medical Examiner’s office.”  If you are requesting an outside investigation of local officials, you may wish to contact the Governor’s Office.  The Governor has the power to appoint what is known as a special prosecutor to investigate criminal allegations outside a state attorney’s normal circuit when there are concerns about possible conflicts of interest.  The Governor may also direct the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) to perform special investigations and investigations on public officials and agencies. 
 Upon reviewing the crime scene investitgation images, it was obvious the injuries Abdallah sustained to her face and head, not to mention the broken rib(s) that was not a ‘suicide-by-coffee-table’, but a murder case that needs to be reopened. Also in reviewing the notes and documents regading the case, it was also troubling to learn that the of the 5 family members present, it took all of them 2 1/2 hours before they called 911, and then gave conflicting stories as to what happened to Fatima.

With all of the evidence in the case pointing towards murder and not towards an accident or suicide, pressure must be brought on Florida authorities to revisit the determination that he 48 year-old Abballahs’ death was an “accidental suicide” and to bring the perpetrators of this crime to justice.  As it presently stands, this case can only be reopened by Governor Rick Scott via a special prosecutor.  We strongly urge Governor Scott to review this case and order an investigation into the highly questionable conclusions that have been reached thus far by the various branches of Florida law enforcement.


Florida Family



 

Did Fatima Abdallah really cause her own death by repeatedly striking her face against a coffee table as reported by Tampa Police or was her demise an honor killing? Please encourage Governor Rick Scott to order an investigation.

If Florida law enforcement agencies decline to properly investigate and file appropriate charges in violent crimes where cultural laws may have dictated illegal behavior then Islamic rule of law will effectively reign in our state.

The Tampa Police Department has accepted a Palestinian family’s account that Fatimah Abdallah killed herself by repeatedly beating her head against a coffee table.   However, a Tampa Rescue Lieutenant at the scene told Florida Family Association's private investigator that was implausible, that "she looked like somebody beat the blank out of her." The Palestinian family left Fatima dead for 2 ½ hours before they called 911, gave two different stories of how she died, ushered the alleged only witness to Fatima's demise out of the country just days after her death and treated her horribly before she died. Florida Family Association hired a private investigator to thoroughly examine Fatimah’s death.  Given the circumstances of her personal life and the facts surrounding her death her demise looks more like an honor killing than an accident.  A full report including more crime scene photographs are posted below. Why is it important for the case involving Fatima Abdallah to be properly investigated and appropriate charges filed?   Because if law enforcement is allowed to exempt violent crimes because police are intimidated by the culture or persuaded by political correctness then where will that policy end?  Islamic cultural code condones wife beating, polygamy, female body punishment, marital rape,  honor killing and most threatening the killing of infidels especially Christians and Jews. The following has taken place so far in this case: Florida Family Association filed a complaint with Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn which included extensive private investigator reports.  Thousands of concerned citizens have emailed the mayor calling for a proper investigation.  See section below titled Initial Report and Complaint. Prompted by Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn the Tampa Police Department made up a new theory that Fatimah Abdallah had seizures (not documented in autopsy or medical report) and that was what the family saw when she beat her head against the coffee table.  The Tampa Mayor and Police declined to properly investigate this case.  See section below titled Tampa Police Make Up New Undocumented Medical Excuse for Fatimah’s Death. National Leaders call for thorough and proper investigation of Fatimah Abdallah’s death.  See section below titled National Leaders Call for Investigation. Florida Family Association filed a complaint with the Florida Medical Examiner Commission calling upon them to review the Hillsborough County Medical Examiner’s autopsy and Medical Examiner Report.  The commission declined to review the local examiner’s findings.  See section below titled Florida Medical Examiner Commission Declines to Review. Received an unsolicited report from private investigator that a Tampa Police Department Crime Scene Technician had requested that Florida Family Association remove her name from an official Tampa Police General Offense Report posted on Floridafamily.org out of “fear of Muslim reprisal.”  See section below titled Tampa Police Crime Scene Technician Fears Muslim Reprisal. Florida Family Association filed a complaint with Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi asking that her office investigate the Tampa Police Department’s mishandling of this case.  Pam Bondi’s office declined to review the case and recommended that Florida Family Association ask Florida Governor Rick Scott to initiate an investigation.  See section titled Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi Declines to Review. Florida Family Association files a complaint with Florida Governor Rick Scott requesting that his office direct the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to properly investigate the death of Fatimah Abdallah. The Florida Attorney General recommended the following:  “If you are requesting an outside investigation of local officials, please contact the Governor's Office.  The Governor has the power to appoint what is known as a special prosecutor to investigate criminal allegations outside a state attorney's normal circuit when there are concerns about possible conflicts of interest.  The Governor may also direct the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) to perform special investigations and investigations on public officials and agencies.”   Click here to read the AG’s email with this recommendation. Florida Family Association followed up on the Attorney General’s recommendation with a letter to the governor requesting an investigation.  Click here to read the letter.  Additionally, a request has been made to discuss this case directly with the governor. Florida Family Association has prepared an email for you to send to appeal to Florida Governor Rick Scott to direct the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) or appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the death of Fatimah Abdallah. To send your email, please click the following link, enter your name and email address then click the "Send Your Message" button.  You may change the wording in the subject line or message. Please click here to send your email to encourage Governor Rick Scott to direct the Florida Department of Law Enforcement or appoint a special prosecutor to investigate this case. Initial Report and Complaint Florida Family Association learned about the death of a 48 year old Arab woman named Fatima Abdallah whose demise did not appear to be caused by an accident as the Tampa Police Department officially determined.  Florida Family Association hired an experienced private investigator who was a former police detective to research and explore Fatima’s death.  Our investigation revealed the following about Fatima Abdallah’s personal life.   Fatima: Lived in the same household as did three related Arab named families. Was allegedly divorced by her cousin husband because she could not have children and he married another cousin. Allegedly brought shame to her Muslim family because of her divorce according to neighbors. Was allegedly not permitted to return to her homeland in the Middle East by the family. Was allegedly not permitted to drive on her own even though she was licensed. Was allegedly the subject of many arguments with other family members. Was allegedly treated badly and had unthinkable things done to her by her older brother. Our investigation revealed the following about Fatima Abdallah’s death: Family members claimed that she killed herself by repeatedly slamming her head onto a coffee table and the floor.  The Tampa Police Department accepted this claim as the cause of death.  Tampa Rescue said she looked like someone beat her up and disputed the probability that she could have killed herself in that manner.  In addition to head, face and lip injuries she had several lower fractured ribs with hemorrhage in the area which is normal in cases of blunt trauma to the rib cage Five family members waited nearly 2 ½ hours before calling 911. The call to 911 dispatch gave a completely different version of what happened to Fatima and her state of mind than was reported by detectives on the scene.  The same family member gave two different accounts. The Tampa Police Department: Did not catch the fact that Muhammad called 911 dispatch and not his brother Ali as the TPD report states. Did not catch the fact that Muhammad told 911 dispatch a different version of what happened to Fatima than he told detectives on the scene. Relied upon a family member instead of an independent translator to translate the account of the only alleged witness to Fatima’s death.  That witness left the country just days after Fatima died. Did not verify the travel of one of Fatima’s brothers from Ft. Myers to Tampa which was the assumed reason for the 2 ½ hour delay before anyone in the family called 911. Did not properly account or resolve how Fatima’s lower right ribs 4 thru 9 were broken and other injuries were sustained to her face and mouth. Did not fully investigate or identify blood evidence on a large shirt, floor and stairs. Did not interview neighbors. General Offense report completed by various police personnel qualified the Cause of Death as “Homicide” and “Undetermined” and “Unexplained” but was reclassified to “Accident” by Medical Examiner. The Medical Examiner: Final determination of Cause of Death that the “Decedent fell and struck her head” is inconsistent with the Tampa Police Department General Offense Report and 911 dispatch detail descriptions of the death. Determined the fracture of right ribs 4 thru 9 was due to CPR even though these ribs do not come into play during CPR and even though Tampa Rescue states that they did not perform CPR. There is much more information regarding our investigation findings listed the in the letter below to the State Attorney, Tampa Mayor and Tampa City Council. It is Florida Family Association’s opinion that given the circumstances of Fatima Abdallah’s personal life and the facts surrounding her death that there is a need for the Tampa Police Department to reopen this case or for the State Attorney to open a new inquiry to fully investigate Fatima Abdullah’s death.   Was Fatima Abdallah’s death really an accident or honor killing? If Florida law enforcement agencies decline to properly investigate and file appropriate charges in violent crimes where cultural laws may have dictated illegal behavior then Islamic rule of law will effectively reign in our state.   Law enforcements’ unwillingness to properly investigate and bring charges in violent crimes that may have been perpetuated by religious or cultural creeds will undermine our public safety and severely change our value system.   Florida Family Association sent out an email alert and posted an online article on May 19, 2011 to encourage concerned citizens to send emails to Mayor Bob Buckhorn and State Attorney Mark Ober regarding numerous inconsistencies in the death investigation of Fatima Abdallah.  Their response follows this section. FLORIDA FAMILY ASSOCIATION LETTER TO TAMPA MAYOR, STATE ATTORNEY AND TAMPA CITY COUNCIL Dear Mayor, State Attorney, Tampa City Councilmembers Buckhorn,       May 19, 2011 Florida Family Association respectfully requests that Tampa Police Department General Offense case number GO 2009-483498 involving the death of Fatima Abdallah be reopened and thoroughly investigated because of the extraordinary circumstances surrounding her death and subsequent information reported by an independent investigation. The Tampa Police Department investigated the death of Fatima Abdallah on August 17, 2009 at 8358 Old Town Drive, Tampa, FL which is the residence of Muhammad Abdallah Hmeid.   Fatima, born October 1, 1961, lived at this residence with: Nafish A. Kahla, decedents’ mother. Muhammad Abdallah Hmeid, decedents’ brother. Hamdi Ali Kahla, decedents’ brother. Alia Ali Alkahla, decedents’ brother. Tahane Abed Awwad, decedents’ sister-in-law and wife of Alia Ali Kahla. Alia Alkahla, child not identified by parent. Tahane Awwaad, child not identified by parent. The Tampa Police Department and Medical Examiner determined that Fatima Abdallah’s cause of death resulted from the decedent allegedly beating her own head against a coffee table and on the floor until she died.  Her death was ruled accidental and the case was promptly closed.  The entire Tampa Police Department “General Offense” report, “Medical Examiner” report and 911 Dispatch Cad Call Hardcopy report are enclosed.  The “General Offense” report will be referred to in this letter as GO with suffix numbers for the appropriate page number.  The “Medical Examiner” report will be referred to in this letter as ME with suffix numbers for the appropriate page number.   The Tampa 911 Dispatch Call Hardcopy report will be referred to in this letter as DIS with suffix numbers for the appropriate page number.  Crime scene photographs are also referenced in this letter by their exact file name. Florida Family Association hired Prestige Investigations, Inc. to investigate the death of Fatima Abdallah.  Prestige Investigations, Inc. provided four reports dated April 6, 2011, April 16, 2011, April 21, 2011 and May 5, 2011.  These Prestige Investigations, Inc. reports will be referred to in this letter as PI0406, PI0416, PI0421 and PI0505 with suffix numbers for the appropriate page number. INVESTIGATION FINDINGS The “accidental cause of death” that Fatima Abdallah allegedly “slammed her head into a wood coffee table (and carpeted floor), multiple times” until she died is difficult to comprehend. GO15.  Lt. Scott Ashley with Tampa Rescue #21, Cross Creek Blvd-New Tampa who was interviewed by Prestige Investigations, Inc. said “He did remember the call and stated that when he got to the scene he observed the decedent and thought that ‘someone had beat the crap out of her.”  Lt. Ashley also said that “it would be very difficult for someone to hit their heads hard enough to cause loss of consciousness.  It would be similar to someone stopping their breathing and causing their death.” PI04063.  It is difficult to accept that the damage done to the coffee table shown in crime scene photographs DSC_508, DSC_509 and DSC_510 was self inflicted or accidental. Five family members waited 2 ½ hours before calling 911.  The mother, three brothers and sister-in-law allegedly knew of Fatima’s injuries but waited 2 ½ hours until Ali A. Alkahla allegedly arrived from Ft. Myers to call 911.   However, the 911 Dispatch (DIS1) report states that Muhammad called 911 not Ali as pointed out below. The TPD GO report states that Nafish A. Kahla, Fatima’s mother, did not call 911 because she allegedly did not know how to use the phone yet was reported to have allegedly had numerous conversations with her sons.  Muhammad Hmeid “stated that she (Nafish) did not call 911 because she doesn’t know how to use the phone very well.” GO19.  However, the decedent’s mother called her sons, some several times.  Ali Alkahla “He advised he was in Ft. Myers Fl.. visiting relatives when he received a phone call from his mother on his cell phone.”  GO20.  Muhammad Hmeid “continued to receive phone calls but that he still was not sure what was going on.”   TPD did not verify Ali A. Alkahla’s travel from Ft. Myers which was crucial to the time line credibility of the family waiting 2 ½ half hours to call 911.  The TPD GO report states that the family did not call 911 until Ali A. Alkahla allegedly arrived 2 ½ hours after the deceased lay lifeless on the carpet.  “No one challenged the statement as to who the son was visiting in Ft. Myers, FL.  Who did they visit and what is their name, address and phone number?”  PI05053. TPD did not verify Ali’s statements.  TPD did not verify that phone calls were made from the home to Ali A. Alkahla or from brothers to brothers during that critical 2 ½ hour period.  The TPD GO mentions no confirmation or attempt to confirm this activity. The 911 dispatch (GO16) (DIS1) was given an entirely different account of the (1) deceased’s frame of mind, (2) how the deceased was discovered and (3) the circumstances that lead to her death compared to the accounts given by Muhammad Hmeid and Nafish A. Kahla (GO20).  GO16 reports “Per the dispatch details, the decedent was discovered unconscious and unresponsive within the family shared residence.  The call details also noted that the decedent had been cleaning, and may have passed out due to cleaning product fumes.”  (1) The dispatch call states the deceased had the responsible presence of mind to be cleaning the house which is significantly different from Muhammad’s account of her acting mentally unstable.  (2) The dispatch call states she was discovered unconscious while Muhammad states his mother witnessed her self inflict injury.  (3)  The dispatch account alleges the deceased passed out from cleaning product fumes while Muhammad’s version alleges that she repeatedly beat herself to death on the coffee table and the floor.  There appears to be no attempt by TPD in the GO to reconcile these conflicting accounts.  This gross disparity in accounts also went unnoted in the TPD GO report. The TPD GO20 report states that Ali A. Alkahla called 911 but the 911 Dispatch (DIS1) states that it was Muhammad Hmeid who called.  According to TPD GO20 “He (Ali Alkahla) did not know when his sister stopped breathing but when he got home and went inside he could see his sister was not breathing and called 911.”  However, the first entry on the CAD Call Hardcopy (DIS1) states “Aug-16-2009 21:05:07 – HMEID, MUHAMMAD COMPL’S SISTER DOWN NOT CONCS UNK IF BREATHING HE JUST FOUND HER.”  Tampa Police detectives overlooked this discrepancy.  The account of Fatima’s death attributed to Muhammad Hmeid in TPD 911 Dispatch Report (DIS1) is entirely different than the account reported by TPD in GO18-20.   The above referenced account given to dispatch of Fatima passing out due to fumes from cleaning products was reported as given by Muhammad yet his account and the account he gave for his mother in GO18-20 Muhammad is reported to have said that Fatima repeatedly beat her head against the coffee table and floor until she died.  Tampa Police missed the two different accounts that Muhammad gave of how Fatima died. TPD did not rely upon an independent translator to interview the only alleged witness to Fatima’s death.   Nafish A. Kahla, the decedents’ mother allegedly spoke no English.  TPD relied entirely upon her son, Muhammad, to translate Nafish’s alleged account of her daughter’s death GO19.  TPD made no attempt to have an independent translator interview Nafish A. Kahla.  Nafish’s alleged account was basically a repeat of Muhammad’s account GO18 and GO19.    The mother left the country just days after Fatima’s death.  “Immediately after the funeral, the mother was sent out of the country.  It was believed that she was possibly sent back to Palestine or Israel.”  PI05053.  Reporting this fact does not mean to imply that the mother hurt Fatima.  However, it would appear that she may have a different story to tell if an independent translator questioned her. Muhammad’s account of Fatima’s death is much more detailed than one would expect from someone who only knew what happened as described by someone else i.e. his mother.  In fact, Muhammad gives far more details of Fatima’s death than his mother gave.   GO18-20. The TPD GO report contains varying and inconsistent “Causes of Death.” GO15 states “Caused by Undetermined."  Detective Durkin. GO24 states “OFFENSE: Homicide.” CST Matthew Evans. GO25 states “OFFENSE: Unexplained Death.” CST Shelby Garman. The deceased suffered broken ribs which were not properly explained or accounted for in the TPD GO report.  Fatima’s lower right ribs were broken.  The medical examiner attributes broken ribs to CPR but Tampa Rescue says that no CPR was performed.  The Medical Examiner report states “There are rib fractures from cardiopulmonary resuscitation.  ON the right side, ribs 4 and 5 are fractured and … ribs 5 – 9 are fractured.” ME3.  However, Lt. Scott Ashley stated “No CPR was performed by Tampa Rescue as the decedent was already dead and had been for some time.”  Lt. Ashley was asked to comment on the broken ribs after reviewing the Autopsy Report.  Lt. Ashley advised “CPR injuries usually occur around the sternum (breast bone) and in the anterior aspect.  The fractures of ribs 5-9 in the posterior aspect would not be common of injury from CPR.”  PI04063.  “The intercostal muscles showed signs of hemorrhage in the area of these broken ribs.  The intercostal muscles are located in between each rib.  Hemorrhage would be normal in cases of blunt trauma to the rib cage.” PI04063. Medical Examiner’s determination of “Manner of Death” is inconsistent with the TPD GO report accounts from witnesses.  The Medical Examiner’s determination that the “Manner of Death” was “Accident (Decedent Fell and struck her head on table)” (GO11 and ME) is inconsistent with the TPD GO report accounts from Muhammad (GO18-19) and Nafish (GO19-20) which state that the deceased deliberately and repeatedly slammed her head onto a coffee table and the carpet floor. The fine mist of blood splatter shown in crime scene photographs appears to be inconsistent with the TPD GO report witness accounts that all traumas were self inflicted over the coffee table.  Crime scene photographs DSC_531, DSC_536 and DSC_537 show a distinctive “mist” or very light blood covering a fairly large area of carpet.  This blood mist over a large area would more likely result from trauma to the head forcing the head to rapidly rotate than it would be the result of self slamming of head on and over the coffee table. Blood spots on a large (L) brown sweatshirt are unexplained.  (PI05053)  TPD collected Item 15 (GO25) depicted in crime scene photographs DSC_620 thru DSC_635 which contained spots of blood.  All photos are llinked at bottom of this letter.   The spots which are diminished in appearance look like they have been wiped in attempts to clean.  TPD did not identify the owner of the shirt, determine if this was blood spatter versus blood transfer, determine whose blood it was or investigate how the blood got on the shirt.  This shirt must have caught a crime scene technician’s interest since sixteen photos were taken.  It is unlikely that the deceased wore a large shirt of this kind given her petite size and the matching tight clothes that she is shown wearing in crime scene photograph DSC_554. Blood spots on one stair step were not explained.  How did blood spots land on the fifth step down from the top of the stairs as shown in crime scene photographs DSC_492 thru DSC_497?  All photos are linked at the bottom of this letter.  The spots which are diminished in appearance look like they have been wiped and smeared in attempts to clean.  Could the drops in that location have occurred from an attempt to move the deceased’s body?  If the blood was transferred by foot shouldn’t more blood be found somewhere on the first four steps from the top? Whose blood is it and why is it only in this one spot?    Fatima’s family would not let her return to Brazil or the Middle East (GO19) or leave the house on her own (PI04162).  Fatima was primarily confined to the home where she was the subject of constant arguments with several members of the family (PI0421). There is no mention if TPD interviewed neighbors in an attempt to see if anyone heard, saw or knew something related to Fatima’s death.  (PI05053).  Prestige Investigations, Inc. interviewed neighbors as reported in PI0416 and PI0421. Prestige Investigations, Inc. interviewed the neighbors and learned:  A neighbor expressed concern about discussing this matter because the people next door are Muslims and she doesn’t want any trouble.   PI 04212. A neighbor stated that the deceased married her cousin but he divorced her because she could not have children.   PI04212. At some point in time, (1)  Sarah (deceased’s American name) had told her (a neighbor) that her (the deceased’s) older brother, (name not mentioned),  treated her badly and had done unthinkable things to her.  The deceased asked the neighbor not to speak about it.  PI04211. Tahane, the deceased’s sister-in-law, argued a lot with the deceased.  PI04161.  This was also the case with the mother. A neighbor said that deceased was divorced and that was shameful in the Muslim family, that her father did not live in the house and that the son Ali was the eldest son and he was the one who protected the honor of the family in his fathers stead.  PI04161. A neighbor said that the family did not allow the deceased to drive even though she had a valid drivers license. PI04162.  Immediately after the funeral the mother was sent out of the country possibly to Palestine or Israel. PI05053. Muhammad Abdallah Hmeid was arrested on February 6, 2010 for “aggravated assault – using a deadly weapon” according to Temple Terrace Police Report number 2010-00530.  This document is labeled Arrest.  Muhammad allegedly struck a man in the head with the butt of his 9mm hand gun during an altercation causing the man’s head to bleed extensively.  The man allegedly struck in the head sued Muhammad Hmeid on June 10, 2010 in Hillsborough County Circuit Court Case 10-CA-011943.  The civil suit is open and copies of the online Clerk of the Circuit Court report are included with the Arrest report. Prestige Investigations, Inc. summarized “ …there is a glaring absence of any suspicion, from either report (TPD and ME reports), that the decedent could have possibly been a victim of an assault that eventually caused her death. The absence of any suspicion that the decedent had been assaulted is difficult to understand.  Many questions remain that should be resolved.  A medical review of the autopsy report with the photos of the decedent may give a professional medical view as to what may have happened to her.”  PI05054. All documents referenced in this letter are posted online as outlined below under Online Documents. Therefore, given the above information we respectfully request that the Tampa Police Department reopen this case and the State Attorney open an independent investigation to conduct a much more thorough investigation regarding the death of Fatima Abdallah.
