Would she have gotten this light a sentence if her son and daughter-in-law had been “right-wing extremists” at the Capitol on January 6?
“Mother of terrorist who killed 14 in San Bernardino sentenced for destroying evidence,” KESQ, February 11, 2021:
The 67-year-old mother of an Islamic terrorist who killed more than a dozen people in an attack following a Christmas party at the Inland Regional Center was sentenced to six months home confinement and three years probation for destroying evidence connected to the massacre.
Rafia Sultana Shareef, also known as Rafia Farook, pleaded guilty in March to a felony charge of destruction and mutilation of records central to a federal criminal investigation.
U.S. District Judge Jesus Bernal imposed a lighter sentence than was possible under the plea agreement with the U.S. Attorney’s Office, which called for up to 18 months in federal prison.
Shareef apologized for her actions prior to the sentencing at the federal courthouse in downtown Riverside.
Her youngest son, 28-year-old Sayeed Rizwan Farook, along with her daughter-in-law, 27-year-old Tashfeen Malik, perpetrated the mass killings at the IRC in San Bernardino on Dec. 2, 2015.
According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Shareef was staying with the couple in Redlands, caring for their toddler daughter, when the pair went to the IRC Christmas party and fatally shot 14 victims, as well as wounded 22 others, many of whom were Farook’s co-workers in the San Bernardino County Department of Environmental Health.
Farook and Malik were confirmed fundamentalists and sympathized with Islamic State.
Prosecutors said Shareef heard about the terrorist attack and realized that her son was involved, prompting her to snatch a diagram that outlined the “attack plan” and feed it into a shredder.
“Shareef admitted that she knew her son had produced the document, and she believed it was directly related to his planning of the IRC attack,” according to the plea agreement….

SIX months home confinement? Lucky so-and-so!
Some people have been confined at home for NEARLY A YEAR. Their “crime” was living in a country run by a government that believes that imprisoning its population makes viruses go away. lol
somehistory says
I was thinking something very similar. What’s a few months not being allowed to go anywhere, when one is already supposed to be staying home? Especially those in her age range are ‘advised’ to stay home until the “pandemic” is over.
The look on her face does not say she’s sorry for what she did. moslims lie. Now can she be sent back to some other country when her six months are done? Will she be watched while she’s on probation, or will they ‘trust’ her?

Hey, it’s not all that bad. The other day, the UK government announced that MAYBE, POTENTIALLY, there’s A CHANCE that next month people would be able to…. SIT DOWN ON PARK BENCHES… WITH ONE OTHER PERSON!!! :O :O :O
Naturally, they would need to sit on the opposite ends of the bench while wearing masks. BUT STILL! How can you not thank the almighty, omnipotent government for being so benevolent and kind to us lowly plebeians who are lower than worms compared to those holy deities who have taken up the burden of deciding our fates for us since we are unable to take care of ourselves.
I propose that we throw out elections all together if it means that these god-sent messengers–who descended from heaven itself to rule us ignorant ingrates–get to run our lives for us forever. In fact, London’s mayor foresaw this plight and decided to cancel mayor elections because of this virus that kills 99.9% of people it infects (or was it the other way around… can’t remember). If this doesn’t tell you how much they care about us, I don’t know what does.

If an American had murdered 14 people and wounded 22 more in these filthy jihadi’s home country they would have been BEHEADED!! But this is Very typical behavior for a hispanic judge and Gimmegrants in CA. Criminal to give her LESS than the standard! SHE SHOULD HAVE BEEN DEPORTED INSTANTLY!! She raised her children to HATE THE WEST yet she squats in our country!!
John says
+1 deport her ass.
golem3 says
+2
gravenimage says
Yes–she should be deported.
Steve Sarchett says
Prison would be to good for her, she should burn in hell along with her son & daughter-in-law
Pray Hard says
Just another moslem dindu.
revereridesagain says
Was she born here or is she yet another “import”? And if the latter, then why isn’t she getting home confinement back in whatever Islam-ridden hellhole she crawled out of? I don’t know how the families of the victims of these savages endure this kind of insulting nonsense.
Terry Gain says
Is must be unbearable, but what choice do they have? I think that belief in Jesus is one of the ways of coping with these outrages. Thank God that this site at least allows us to vent and know there are like minded people,
Michael Copeland says
The event attacked was a Christmas party, as reported above. Just a reminder that the Islam-compromised BBC News falsified it as “an office lunch”.
Honest Ali says
Muhammad stated that a Jihadists must get his parents blessing before waging Jihad, or he will go to hell.
The parents ALWAYS know, and give their approval.

I think it likely that in such a household structure everybody would know. And given the strong cultural family and extended links a lot of other people would know. This isn’t a casual “How was school?” “boring, what’s for dinner Mum? I’m starving!” family social arrangement. It’s controlled, monitored, extends beyond family, into mosque, community, not knowing? As defenses go that’s as thin as a wall can be between human beings living in close proximity.
James says
Sentenced to stay in her house? This is like putting Briar Rabbit in the briar patch. Or condemning her to sit in the comfy chair. Absurd. Laughable. What a circus.
James Lincoln says
Very likely that the late Philip Haney, a former Homeland Security employee, could have prevented the San Bernardino terror attack if the government had not pulled the plug on a surveillance program he was developing…

Fact: Barack Obama ordered the FBI to stop following the Mosque that these two mass murders attended. He didn’t want the Moslems there to feel like they were being persecuted by our evil country. That makes Obama an accessory before the fact. Our former President in affect had 14 innocent people murdered and 22 injured in the name of political correctness and pandering to the religion of genocide, violence, murder, lying, slavery, abuse of women,1 etc, etc. If there were justice in this country Obama would be a convicted felon serving a life sentence w/o parole. How can this wacked-out fanatical Islamophile sleep at night knowing he caused the murder of 14 innocent people because they were not Muslim? He is responsible yet not held accountable. Lock him up!
somehistory says
Perhaps the House and then the Senate can impeach him and he can be hauled before a real Court of law and tried for his many crimes. Then he can be sent to indonesia, to the area…that misspelling of ache…where they can whack him for smoking or other stuff. Or he can go back to the country of his birth, kenya, and live with the al shabab that come over from omar’s native land.

California: Mother of San Bernardino jihad mass murderer gets home confinement and probation for destroying evidence
…………
Isn’t this Jihad sympathizer raising the Jihadist’s child?
Infidel says
Wasn’t that child adopted out to someone else?
gravenimage says
I’m not sure, Infidel–I know the child was in foster care for a while.
I found this story:
“Seeking custody and answers: Sister of San Bernardino shooter hopes to adopt abandoned niece”
https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/family-of-san-bernardino-shooters-seeks-custody-of-their-orphaned-daughter/2016/11/27/07e0e208-b012-11e6-8616-52b15787add0_story.html
Don’t know what the outcome was, or if this would be any better than the child staying with the mother. They all are immured in head scarves.
mortimer says
It seems that Rafia Sultana Shareef made a deal to rat out other jihadists.
Andrew says
If she was not born in the USA she should be deported to whatever shithole she crawled out of, if born in the USA she needs to pay the people her SON murdered as that is what is called these days as … reparations…
This attack is living proof you should never hire a muslim.
Ade Fegan says
Why does she only get 6 months of house arrest when the rest of us have already had a year of it ..
and untold more to come
John Forbes says
Why the DOUBLE standards? She should be in a federal prison for at LEAST 10 years!
Hugh Fitzgerald says
How does this lady survive? I can’t imagine her being gainfully employed. Does she receive government benefits of any kind? If so, can’t she be stripped of all of them?
gravenimage says
Damn good questions, Hugh. And that’s no lady…
OLD GUY says
Biden’s opening the borders and lifting travel restrictions on muslim countries will bring more of these hate America and Christians to our local neighborhoods. Whats sad about these muslim migrants is that according to E.U. statistics 80% of them will be living off of our tax dollars as they are in Europe. And what is really upsetting these muslims not only expect us to support them they demand it.
citoyen says
She can stay happily at home wearing her hijab just as Ilhan Omar happily wears her more fashionable hijab in the House.
Sounds like mother had prior knowledge.
These Enemies Within are untouchable: from north south east or west, high or low, in Western democracies you cannot say a word against them because you know your life will be ruined -or cancelled.
