We finally have a face to go with the name of a murderer who would abandon her own baby and slaughter people, including some who had thrown her baby shower. It now appears that San Bernardino shooter Tashfeen Malik pledged allegiance to ISIS and left her baby in pursuit of paradise in return for her massacre of her husband’s co-workers. Malik and her husband, Syed Rizwan Farook, not only left their baby and family to face the aftermath of their despicable crime but killed people who had supported them both at and outside of work.
As we noted earlier today, it appear that Malik may have played a critical role in radicalizing her husband. She was born in Pakistan but moved to Saudi Arabia 25 years ago at the age of four. She traveled back and forth between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia — two hotbeds of Islamic extremism. She went to college in Pakistan at Bahuddin Zakri University in Multan where she was known as a top student.
What is clear is that she and her husband Farook embraced extreme Islamic views and turned their house into an IED workshop. Malik came to the U.S. on what a “fiancé” visa, which allows an American fiancé to petition for his or her partner’s temporary entry before marriage. She then joined her husband later in a bloodbath at his workplace. There appears to be few pictures of Malik. What is clear is that her daughter will eventually be told of how her parents chose their pursuit of paradise over her well-being.
The question now is what to do with the child. Police say that the apartment was full of weapons and pipe bombs while his mother lived there with their baby. It is hard to conclude that the grandmother is an appropriate custodian until we can determine her level of knowledge not only of the specific attack but the general planning for violent jihad.
What do you think?
I think we should wait
remember cowgirl in France?
they said she wore a vest and blew up the a cop in her apartment
that never happen
she was not wearing a vest
there was a man in the room who blew himself, her and the cop up
she could have been taken as a hostage –
this is why I hate the media they take any story the janitor told them or some sick joker in the detectives office then that becomes the truth in people’s minds.
I say wait.
You can google “Farooq family attorneys press conference.
Youtube has at least some segments of the press conference online.
I’ve read that the entire press conference was at least 2 hours, and that “there was a lot of crazy to unpack” in the lawyers’ rambling.
Anyone have a link to the presser?
I said just a couple weeks ago I was willing for us to take female Syrian refugees. I just changed my mind. This woman attended a radical mosque in Pakistan. I’m thinking she was the recruiter, sent to a dating website, to find an American to radicalize.
And, hasn’t Obama chided us for being afraid of women refugees from Syria.
Tom, She was breast feeding the baby. It takes some real hatred for Americans to leave a baby you’re breast feeding and go on a death mission.
“Part OF the attorneys’ performance
Nick….I just saw part if the family’s attorneys performance.
I think one of them said that the shooters were good parents…..I’ll try to review it.
Leaving a 6 month old orphan behind after slaughtering 14 people doesn’t seem like good parenting to me.
The best outcome for the child is removal from this family.
Tom, You have to watch the presser. These attorneys blamed the victims saying some coworkers kidded Sayed about his beard. WTF??
Islam is NOT a religion of peace! Recommended reading “The Life of Muhammad” written by the Muslim historian Ibn Ishaq in 768 AD. The book gives an accurate picture of Muhammad… The very violent and aggressive military commander who fought and killed neighboring tribes into submission.
Nick ……a former FBI agent noted that some attorneys were just “stuck on stupid” when asked about the performance of the family’s attorneys in the press conference.
I’m going to wait until they wash this story out – every time they put things out there we find out a few days/weeks later they were lies
the photo is not sitting well with me either
too many layers
They left the baby with the grandmother while they took care of their business. It’s likely Syed’s sister and her husband will have custody of the baby, probably as soon as next week.
Hugh, LOL! A Southern Baptist family. Or, maybe give her to an atheist, nudist, family. The mom always wore a burka. No one in the family ever saw her face. She would not speak w/ men. She spoke broken English. The attorney said her conservative Islam would not allow her to drive, except she was DRIVING THE BOMB LADEN SUV when killed by cops.
I assume even the cop haters here consider this a righteous shooting?
The baby is in protective custody. The family attorneys are trying to get the baby placed w/ Farrok’s sister. I saw the sister interviewed and she is sharper than the 2 bozo attorneys working for the family. These attorneys were whining because the FBI questioned Farook’s mother “for almost 7 hours.” Well, the mother LIVED IN THE SAME SMALL APARTMENT WHERE THEY FOUND MANY BOMBS!! Folks need to watch these 2 attorney’s presser. All attorneys should be embarrassed.
Give the baby to a Christian family and Baptize her.
Finally a constructive comment!
It’s really quite amazing the power that religion has over people, allowing them to justify atrocities that they otherwise could not justify. Dangerous stuff.
How could they drop off the baby for a Dr. appt if grandma lived there?
Do not out that baby anywhere near anyone associated with those savages.
