Hate Crime or Publicity Stunt in Fairfield,Iowa Beating?

It isn't clear from the Des Moines Register article where Alshaibi's wife was during the beat down. He can't remember what house he was in. His excuse for barging into someone else's house is that he wanted to "get to know" his neighbors. If he himself was drinking, how drunk was he? Did he purposely get the 4 men riled? Did he give a description of the attackers to police?

The article also said that he was treated at the scene for minor injuries, followed up by tests at a hospital on Sunday. He was allegedly found in a parking lot. How did he get there?

On Monday, a Muslim Advocacy group, the Council on American-Islamic Relations were already calling for investigations by the FBI. How did they get wind of the story so quickly?

Hate crime? I am skeptical until this gets further investigation.

Uninvited and unannounced, Alshaibi walked into a stranger's house. His version is that he was asked what his name was and he told them Usama. He alleges that approx. 4 men started beating him on the head and neck and called him Osama bin Laden.

How AWESOME would that be? You're sitting around with some of your buds, downing a few cold ones, and all of a sudden Osama bin Laden walks into the room!

Commence Operation Monkey-pile!!!

Drunken intruder invades private house and is removed. If the story has any truth at all, that's it. It is also possible that the entire incident was fabricated from whole cloth.

Fairfield.... It’s a very...different kind of place. Not typical Iowa in a lot of ways.
