Ah yes, religious freedom. Prosecuting the 911 Muslim terrorists violates their religious freedom, too.
"Des Moines imam argues sexual exploitation charges violate religious freedom" By The Des Moines Register, November 4, 2013(article had to be cut out as it comes from a Gannett paper -- FR rules)
Additionally, there's no evidence that the two women were "emotionally dependent" upon Spahic, the motion said. Spahic will also argue he is not guilty on the sexual abuse charge at trial.
The woman on Aug. 12 called Spahic to her house in Johnston for help with her daughter, who reportedly suffered personal issues, including depression and drug use, police and court papers said. Spahic allegedly performed an Islamic ceremony that involved "chanting and rubbing the body with oil," court papers said.
In one section of the sealed minutes of evidence, prosecutors "inappropriately refer to Mr. Spahic as a 'Voodoo priest,'" according to the motion. At the time of his arrest Spahic served as the imam - a leader of Islamic prayer services - at the Des Moines Islamic and Cultural Center Bosniak on Lower Beaver Road.
Campbell also filed a motion for a judge to review mental health records of the two women. The mother told police investigating the alleged sexual abuse that her daughter had a "history of mental illness and deception," the motion said.
Spahic bonded out of the Polk County Jail after his arrest and is scheduled for trial on Dec. 2.
Of course, right down there by Merle Hay Mall where they’re congregating.
Never knew islam gave body rubs as a ceremony does this come with a pole and some glitter as a finaly
“the Des Moines Islamic and Cultural Center Bosniak on Lower Beaver Road.”
I saw that too, what a well named road for them to set up on.
I always discuss the dangers of Islam with coworkers and now they all think I’m racist. Of course I explained that Islam isn’t a race, but I think that was over their head.
I just hope we sort this before my two girls grow up.
