On the night of April 5, Orland Park police arrested Nour Hadid, 26 after paramedics rushed her 2 year-old niece Bhia to Palos Community Hospital. The little girl was unconscious and died from severe injuries to her brain and kidneys, which she sustained during four days of beatings.
Emergency room doctors said that her tiny body was covered with at least 55 bruises. Assistant State's Attorney Debra Lawler told reporters that Bhia had been beaten over and over with wooden spoons by Hadid. The Jordanian national, who was apparently enraged because her husband accused her of stealing money from him. Hadid has confessed to the murder.
Orland Park Police Chief Tim McCarthy said: She outlined in detail how the child was abused. Of course, Hadid has been charged with the murder of Bhia Hadid and is being held without bail. Her next court hearing is scheduled for April 30.
While the cable and network news outlets have been filled with coverage of the tragic disappearance and murder of Sandra Cantu, along with the ongoing saga of the Caylee Anthony murder, and Haleigh Cummings abduction, not one minute of coverage has been given to the murder Bhia Hadid.
Volumes both in print and online have been written about the little Cantu, Cummings, and Anthony girls, but I have yet to see one article devoted to Hadid except for very brief statements on the case from Chicago-area media outlets (Orland Park is just outside Chicago). In fact, the only outrage that has been expressed in this case is from the Muslim community, who are outraged not over the little girls brutal murder, but over the fact that Nour Hadid was not allowed to wear her headscarf for her mugshot.
Dr. Mohammed Sahloul, chairman of the Council of Islamic Organizations of Chicago, expressed his outrage to the Southtown Star by saying: "they should respect the modesty of the accused."
Hadids husband Alaeddin said the mugshot was an "insult against our religion." He has promised to sue the Orland Park Police Department for the photo. He has expressed no similar outrage over his wife beating to death their 2 year-old niece.
Why has the national media chosen to ignore the horrific murder of 2 year-old Bhia Hadid?
This poor little girl had no one to defend her during her short life, that sad fact has changed very little in death.
This is the woman was whining when they made her take off her burka for the mug shot.

They are animals.
I’ve seen her mugshot. They shoulda put a bag over her head. I’m sure her husband does, every time!
The little girl must have objected to her arranged marriage to her uncle?
Regardless of race/religion, child abusers should be impaled and left to die and rot on the pike in the public square as a warning.
Honor beating?
I heard there was plenty of outrage. The police made her take off her headscarf for the mugshot and thus caused an insult to Islam or something.
Prayers for Bhia.
VERY very sad...
I truly believe these animals and the offspring really need to go back to the Middle East so that their horrendous activities can be removed from the Christian Judea culture.
What these animals embrace and bestow upon women and children of that “gutter religion” of Islam need to LEAVE our country and STOP with their INSULTS upon our commonsense and practical reasoning which we have BASED upon the Bible and not the rag the Koran.
I hope Allah can make SENSE of this senseless crime...
The media is embarrassed at the ‘outrage’ over the mugshot, and is afraid to ‘escalate’ the situation. They are sensitive to the need of moslems to remain anonymous to the greater community, lest that community become suspicious of moslems. In other words they are chickenshit.
‘Four days of beating’ ... the religion of peace spawns such loving folks don’tchaknow.
I concur.
How did this scum get in the US?
Death penalty to this animal. Put this pitiful woman out of her misery.
Could it be that the mug shot resembles that of the infamous prophet? (piss and curses be upon his name!)
But I've no doubt that the childs head was properly covered the entire time they were smacking her around.
