Islam 'insulted' by alleged child killer's mug shot, says husband
ORLAND PARK, Ill. (STNG) - The police booking photo of alleged child killer Nour Hadid released Tuesday is an "insult against our religion," says Hadid's husband, Alaeddin.
Orland Park police detectives say the 26-year-old Muslim woman was treated as any other suspect in a murder probe would be, and they did not intend to humiliate her when they photographed her Sunday without her headscarf and wearing only a skimpy top.
Nour Hadid is accused of beating her 2-year-old niece Bhia Hadid to death over four days at her home on the 9000 block of West 140th Street. The child had 55 separate bruises and was beaten "from head to toe," according to prosecutors, who say Hadid confessed.
But Alaeddin Hadid -- who insists his wife is innocent -- said Orland Park police are "really going to be in big trouble" for releasing the woman's booking photo to the news media after she was charged with first-degree murder.
The Hadids are Muslims and Nour "never leaves the home without covering up," said Alaeddin, who's vowed to sue.
By custom, some practicing Muslim women wear the hijab, or headscarf, and cover their arms and legs when in public.
In the mug shot, a bare-headed and obviously emotional Nour appears to be protecting her modesty with her hands.
"It is against our religion; we do not do this in our culture," Alaeddin said.
"People have been calling me about this all day."
Bhia Hadid's funeral took place Thursday.
Orland Park police Cmdr. Chuck Doll said the mug shot was taken "for identification purposes" before Hadid made her confession. Her headscarf was handed back to her after the photo was taken, Doll said.
"A matron was with her at all times while she was in our custody," Doll said. A matron is a law enforcement official who works with women held in custody. "She was wearing a tank top, and she had the headscarf when she was interviewed."
The headscarf later was taken from her after she made suicide threats, he said.
A sobbing Hadid appeared without the headscarf at the Bridgeview courthouse Tuesday and is being held without bail at the Cermak Medical Center at the Cook County Jail, where she remains on suicide watch.
Police have said her husband's possible involvement in Bhia's death still is under investigation.
Nour Hadid's attorney, Frank Celani, said he hopes to speak with her about the mug shot.
Islamic advocacy groups seem wary of taking up Hadid's cause.
Spokesmen for the Council on Islamic American Relations, the Islamic Society of North America and the Bridgeview Mosque Foundation all declined to comment Thursday.
But Dr. Mohammed Sahloul, chairman of the Council of Islamic Organizations of Chicago, said that while police should follow the usual procedures with all defendants, "they should respect the modesty of the accused."
Sahloul, who made it clear he was not aware of the Hadid case and was speaking in general terms about the hijab, pointed out that Muslim women are allowed to wear hijabs in photos for their state IDs.
"If it's for the purposes of identification and they cover in public, then that's going to be more effective in identifying them anyway," he said.
Former chairman Kareem Irfan said, "It's particularly humiliating because she appears to be in her underwear.
"I don't condone what she's alleged to have done.
"But if it was a nun accused of these crimes, would they treat her the same way?"
You ain't living in "your culture" anymore moron.
American is a melting pot. Once you come here you melt into OUR culture or go the hell home. GTF out of my country.
It’s not a cult, it’s satanism.
I’m guessing this a black muslim fruitloop not an Arab muslim fruitloop
“”I’ve got a solution for these folks. If you don’t want to live by the laws of the land that you are in, move to one that is more to your liking.””
OR remove her head before taking the picture. This is really sick. Against their culture to remove head covering but not against their culture to beat to death a small child? When oh! when is this country going to wake up?
guilty!!!
Hey Dude, FU
“”So, which of their kids did she murder? “”
It was a niece........
Why do they take scarves from killers who threaten suicide. They should be given ten feet of rope.
Time to fight back against this BS. Yep, they would have treated a nun the same way. To start with a nun doesn't hide her face, it is in plain view all the time. Secondly, a murder suspect is a murder suspect.
I suggest to all the Muslim pukes out there that if you don't want to be humiliated by the police then don't kill other people, in particular children.
I find it telling that they don't think she is humiliated for killing a child but for having her naked face photographed.
He sounds real upset about the dead kid, huh? Why have we let these barbarians into our nation?
Yes, a nun would be treated the same way.
Mug shots have a purpose.
Jump back in your lamp....now, that’s funny!
Nothing a good stoning wopuldn’t fix.
GUILTY!
I didn’t realize sports organizations gave out Awards of Valor.
Practice your culture in a society that does what you want, like Somalia.
He claimed Bhia had fallen down a staircase at the family home.
“I always told my wife to close the door or one of the children would fall down and she’d end up in jail,” he said.
He claimed his wife had “stupidly” not told police about the accident when she was arrested and that, as recently as Friday evening, when the family ate a meal at KFC and took a trip to the mall, Bhia was unhurt.
Three other children living at the couple’s home have been taken into protective custody by the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services.
It’s not the first time one of Alaeddin Hadid’s spouses has been accused of hurting children.
His first wife, Samer, was disfigured and three of the couple’s children burned in 2003 when she told police she “accidentally” poured gasoline on a fire at their home in Hickory Hills.
Neither she nor Alaeddin Hadid was charged in connection with that case, which has not been reopened, investigators from the South Suburban Major Crimes Task Force probing Bhia’s death said Tuesday.
Investigators said Alaeddin Hadid’s possible involvement in Bhia’s death was “still under investigation.”
But Orland Park Police Chief Tim McCarthy said that there was “no connection” between the 2003 case and Bhia’s death.
According to one of our local papers...It seems that Alaeddin has trouble controlling his harem...and that murder and mayhem is an honorable thing to do in that gutter religion.
“His first wife, Samer, was disfigured and three of the couple’s children burned in 2003 when she told police she “accidentally” poured gasoline on a fire at their home in Hickory Hills.”
Muslims do have trouble functioning in high technology environments. A better example was Nov. 7, 2007, when an Arab Muslim ‘aircrew’ destroyed a brand new Airbus 340-600 because they did not know how to even perform an engine run up test.
Full bore on all four - then Mr. Muslim released the brakes.
Mr. Airbus meet Mr. Blast barrier.
But Alaeddin Hadid — who insists his wife is innocent — said Orland Park police are “really going to be in big trouble” for releasing the woman’s booking photo to the news media after she was charged with first-degree murder.
