The hate crime not getting public attention ...

Concern about abuse and violence against Muslim women doesn't apparently extend to California.

"The family is in shock at the moment. They're still trying to deal with what happened," said Mohebi, who met with family members.

Alawadi, a 32-year-old mother of five, had been hospitalized since her 17-year-old daughter found her unconscious in the dining room of the family's El Cajon home in suburban San Diego on Wednesday, police Lt. Steve Shakowski said.

"A hate crime is one of the possibilities, and we will be looking at that," Lt. Mark Coit said. "We don't want to focus on only one issue and miss something else."

The daughter, Fatima Al Himidi, told KUSI-TV her mother had been beaten on the head repeatedly with a tire iron, and that the note said "go back to your country, you terrorist."

Addressing the camera, the tearful daughter asked: "You took my mother away from me. You took my best friend away from me. Why? Why did you do it?"

Police said the family had found a similar note earlier this month but did not report it to authorities.

That's terrible. What the hell is wrong with people who hate so badly?

FoxNews reported it on Sunday.

It seems more like an intelligence hit than a hate crime. Afterall, he is working for our government. This is an election year and they don't want to use the terror angle on our soil.

Possibly because there's some concern it's a hoax:

Huffington didn't even have the name correct. Because it's a crap website.
