So Much for Hoodies and Hihabs

Hat tip Creeping Sharia

Shaima Alawadi- Will she get justice?


Remember those hoodie and hijab marches that linked the deaths of Shaima Alawadi and Trayvon Martin a year or two back? Well, the hoodie trial is over, and the hijab trial is soon to begin.  George Zimmerman has been acquitted, and  Kassim Alhimidi has been ordered to stand trial in San Diego County for the murder of his wife.

In both cases, in spite of the best efforts of the activists and the media, truth is emerging. Like the Martin case, we were all led to believe that Shaima Alawadi was the victim of an anti-Muslim hate crime, as was trumpeted by her family and supporters. There were marches and candlelight vigils. Now it turns out that her husband is charged with killing her because she planned to leave him. I can only hope that this trial receives as much coverage as the Zimmerman trial. It would be a great way to send a message that Middle Eastern-style honor killings will not be tolerated in this country. Unfortunately, I will be shocked if this gets any TV coverage. It is simply too sensitive, you see. Had the killer turned out to be a Muslim-hater-as was hoped by the activists and media, you would be watching gavel to gavel coverage on HLN and other outlets.

At any rate, now it is someone else's turn to cry, "Justice for Shaima."

  1. What's up Gary? You want her husband acquitted, like Zimmerman was acquitted? No? Then why the parallels? (I don't either).

  2. Siarlys,

    I pointed out the parallels in the post. Both of these killings which happened at roughly the same time, led to so-called "Hoodie and Hijab" marches with the theme that if you wore either, you could be singled out for murder by either racists or Islamophobes. Both theories have turned out to be lies.

  3. Well the flat earth theory and polio vaccination causes sterility both turned out to be lies also, but I seldom hear them discussed in the same breath.

  4. You won't see any coverage. In the one case the dependent was a despise "white" Hispanic and in the other a favored member of the ROP. Favored that is by this administration and the slobbering media.

    Nothing to see here. Move along.
