Update April 29th: He tried to get his guilty plea withdrawn but judge denies it, gets 18 years to life (yippee!), here.
Yesterday we reported on theAfghan refugee brothers (also in a NY suburban area) who used knives as a weapon of choice, while this evil Syrian beat his girlfriend to death with her shoe!
Here is the gist of the story, from Lohud (Journal News) again thanks to crime sleuth ‘pungentpeppers:’
How would you like this guy in your neighborhood?
A 66-year-old Syrian national will learn April 8 whether he can withdraw his guilty plea to beating his former girlfriend to death with her shoe in her Wesley Hills bedroom or face 18 years to life in prison.
A decision expected Tuesday has been adjourned for Riad Dib as lawyers for the prosecution and defense file legal papers with Rockland County Court Judge William Nelson.
Dib pleaded guilty in September to murdering 68-year-old Cecile Garbarino, whose battered and bloody body was found Jan. 25, 2013. Dib and Garbarino had broken off their relationship.
[….]
Dib, who made a 911 call to report Garbarino’s death, beat her for more than two hours, crushing bones in her face, Ramapo police said. When she tried to use the telephone to call for help, police said, Dib punched and kicked her repeatedly, cracking her ribs and causing internal injuries.
Who is this murderer and how did he lie his way into the US? We don’t really know, but ‘pp’ found a few more articles that add to the mystery.
Garbarino, an elementary school secretary, suffered a two-hour-long “barbaric beating” before her death.
Here it is reported that he is a priest, which of course would mean he is a Christian Syrian, or says he is:
Police said Dib’s Syrian passport identified his profession as a priest. He has a permanent residency card dated 2006.
Police said they know little about Dib, who apparently told investigators he once served as a judge in his native Syria.
[….]
Police said he had an expired security guard license and ran a business called RD Distributors out of the Grandview address.
[….]
Police said the house was filled with Christian symbols.
Does no curious reporter ever ask how people like Dib got into America in the first place—that is always my number one burning question.
What LEGAL avenue did this monster use to migrate here and live among us?
Speaking of Syrians, I haven’t seen any news yet on how many the Obama Administration is going to allow into the US this year, have you? Originally they talked about 2,000 but some of the contractors want 12,000 or more.
One blogger suggests there was an honor killing motivation involved in at least one of the stabbings.
Before you hear the rest of the story, remember New York state is one of our top five refugee resettlement states in the US and also in the top five states with large Muslim populations.
I wonder how much these murdering brothers cost the state of New York? Shouldn’t the US State Department share some of the cost burden of their trials and incarceration?
From Henrietta, NY (a town near Rochester), Democrat and Chronicle (hat tip: ‘pungentpeppers’):
Murder scene at Thali of India Restaurant, Henrietta, NY
An Afghan man admitted Friday that he stabbed his brother to death as his brother dined alone at a popular Indian restaurant in Henrietta.
Ahmad Jawed Mohammad-Askar, 29, pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter Friday before state Supreme Court Justice Francis Affronti. Under the plea agreement, his sentence will be 25 years.
Mohammad-Askar and his brother, 29-year-old Mohamed Ghulam, both worked at the Thali of India Restaurant at 3259 S. Winton Rd. in Henrietta. Speaking through an interpreter Friday, Mohammad-Askar said he stabbed his brother Sept. 17 as his brother ate about a half-hour before the restaurant was scheduled to open for lunch.
I wouldn’t hold my breath about this deportation suggestion. His lawyers will claim he will be killed if sent back to his hell-hole country.
Mohammad-Askar, who is living here legally, could face deportation after his release from prison.
Then see this! Honor murders run in family?
Blogger ‘a12iggymom’s Blog’ reported on this murder and an earlier one in the same family via the ‘Rochester Democrat’ last September. It is not clear to me whether the younger brother actually killed his cousin or just stabbed her in the neck 12 times! ***update*** the girl survived the stabbing.
Mohammad-Askar and Ghulam are brothers of Faheem Abdul-Jaleel, who was 16 when he stabbed his 13-year-old cousin, Samina Qasim, 12 times in the neck at the family’s Henrietta home on Myrtlewood Drive on June 20, 2011. Authorities said he hid her behind a garbage can with her mouth covered with duct tape and fled the home.
The three brothers were refugees from Afghanistanwhose parents were killed when they were young and who came to the United States and settled with their aunt in Henrietta, said John Bradley, the assistant public defender who represented Abdul-Jaleel.
So, let’s see, we have three brothers offered a good life in America (at great expense to American taxpayers), one is dead, and two will be in prison for years at great expense to American taxpayers. Good deal for America?
And, you can bet, as we pull out of Afghanistan, more charming “refugees” like these will be on the way to your home town! Surely, Wyomingwill get a few!
I wish we had made a category for ‘refugee murder cases’ (I never dreamed there would be so many!), but since we didn’t, you will find this one and many others in our ‘crimes’ category (1,434 previous posts).
Can you believe that headline at the New York Times of all places! Earlier this morning, we reportedon the Wall Street Journalstory about questionable asylum-seekers (Syrians), and now this! Are we reaching a tipping point—when even the NEW YORK TIMES writes about asylum fraud? Hat tip: ‘pungentpeppers.’
Just make it up!
Emphasis below is mine:
A Chinese woman walked into a law office in New York’s Chinatown and asked to see her lawyer. She had applied for asylum, claiming that she had been forced to get an abortion in China to comply with the country’s family-planning laws, and she was anxious about her coming interview with immigration officials.
She had good reason to be worried: Her claim, invented by her lawyer’s associates, was false.
But the lawyer, John Wang, told her to relax. The process, he said, was straightforward, and as long as she memorized a few details, everything would be fine. “You are making yourself nervous,” he said in Mandarin. “All you would be asked is the same few rubbish questions.”
“Just make it up,” the lawyer added.
The conversation, in December 2010, was secretly recorded by federal officials conducting a wide investigation of immigration fraud in New York’s Chinese population. The inquiry has led to the prosecution of at least 30 people — lawyers (including Mr. Wang), paralegals, interpreters and even an employee of a church, who is on trial, accused of coaching asylum applicants in basic tenets of Christianity to prop up their claims of religious persecution. [Do-gooder-itis!—ed] All were charged with helping hundreds of Chinese immigrants apply for asylum using false tales of persecution.
The transcript of the conversation in Mr. Wang’s office, which was disclosed in a recent court filing, offered a rare look at the hidden side of the Chinese asylum industry in New York.
Professor Peter Kwong: To asylum-seekers, “it’s not an issue of right or wrong. It’s an issue about whether they can get it and their means to get it.”
To asylum-seekers it’s not an issue of right or wrong:
Though the prevalence of fraud is unknown, federal officials appear to regard the applicant pool in New York with considerable suspicion. In fiscal year 2013, asylum officers around the country granted 40 percent of all Chinese asylum requests, according to government data. In New York City, asylum officers approved only 15 percent.
Peter Kwong, a professor at the City University of New York and an expert on the Chinese population in New York, said it was an open secret in the Chinese community that most asylum applications were at least partly false, from fabricated narratives of persecution to counterfeit supporting documents and invented witness testimony.
To asylum-seekers, he said, “it’s not an issue of right or wrong. It’s an issue about whether they can get it and their means to get it.”
In my post on Syrians coming across the Mexican border, I mentioned an AP story that blames the backlog of cases in the immigration courts on the government shutdown (blame the Republicans), but here the NYT report says that the sheer volume of fraudulent cases is to blame.
The volume of petitions has clogged the federal bureaucratic machinery, overwhelming asylum officers and judges. The deputy director of the New York asylum office blamed fraud, in part, for the deluge, and said she had tripled her team of asylum officers to dig out of a two-year backlog of cases.
The schemes “wreaked havoc on the asylum system as a whole,”the official, Ashley B. Caudill-Mirillo, wrote in a letter to a federal judge in November.
Asylum fraud cuts across all immigrant groups (I still can’t believe this is the NYT reporting this!).
False asylum petitions are among the most common forms of immigration fraud, in part because they are difficult to detect, experts said. Since many claims are based on events that took place amid armed conflict or political turmoil, the narratives and supporting documents can be hard for the American authorities to verify.
And while the Chinese asylum pool has drawn increasing scrutiny in recent years, asylum fraud cuts across all immigrant groups, officials say, cropping up among populations from societies in turmoil such as Guineans seeking refuge from political upheaval, Afghans fleeing war, Russians looking for sanctuary from homophobia and Mexicans running from drug violence.
There is much more, so much more that I didn’t know where to stop excerpting! Read it all.
Chinese make up the largest percentage of asylum seekers granted permission to stay in the US
Go to Table 6, page 6 of the Department of Homeland Securities 2012 Annual Flow Report. Here are the stats for Chinese given refugee status (after arriving in the US on their own either illegally or as visa overstays).
2010: 6,693 Chinese granted asylum (31% of the total)
2011: 8,585 (34%)
2012: 10,151 (34%)
Remember! Once granted asylum, the asylee is then able to access all of the welfare programs open to refugees who were brought in by the US State Department. Fact sheet here.
A Syrian immigrant has been arrested and charged with arson (the poor man’s WMD), accused of hiring a thug (a dumb thug!) to get even with neighbors who complained about his buses clogging their gentrifying neighborhood.
Just another of those hardworking immigrant ‘entrepreneurs’ for our multi-culty neighborhoods “Abdul” Mouna.
Since Syrians are so much in the news, reader ‘pungentpeppers’ sent along yet another immigrant entrepreneur crime story.
As usual, there is no mention of how, through what legal immigration loophole, Syrian immigrant, Abderraham “Abdul” Mouna, came to be running a bus business in New York. Was he an asylee, did he come through one of our many investor visa programs, did a relative get him in? Those are the sorts of questions mainstream reporters never seem to ask.
We are still looking for someone to create one internet site to gather all of the immigrant crime stories that come our way—until then we will post some crime stories here. LOL! we like to provide balance to the usually mushy immigrant stories the mainstream media feeds us—you know like the immigrant-sees-first-snow stories!
GOWANUS — A long-simmering dispute over idling buses on a quiet Gowanus block sparked a conflict that led to arson, authorities say.
The FDNY this week announced the arrests of Abderraham “Abdul” Mouna and Jose “Pancho” Andujar in connection with a May 8, 2013, arson.
Fire Marshal investigators say the two men conspired to set the blaze to retaliate against neighbors who complained that Mouna’s charter bus company left coaches idling for hours and parked illegally on the street.The target of the arson was a business owned by one of the people who complained.
[…..]
The building owner did not want to comment this week for fear of retaliation, but according to a criminal complaint filed with the Brooklyn District Attorney’s office, a rock was tossed through a plate glass window on the building’s first floor, then liquid accelerant was squeezed through the hole, followed by a book of matches and a lit cigarette.
The fire quickly went out, leaving only a scorched floor and no injuries, but locals were shocked.
They immediately suspected Mouna, neighbors told DNAinfo. He had been running his charter bus company on the block since about 2006 and had clashed with neighbors for years, said locals, who didn’t want to be named.
At first, the 53-year-old Syrian immigrant seemed to be a hardworking small business owner struggling to get by, residents said.
But, then things started to go wrong! Read it all!
I have to laugh a little. I’m betting many in this Brooklyn neighborhood are the kind of folks who would speak eloquently about how diversity is beautiful, just not in this case and in their neighborhood!

Several readers sent me this important article by Daniel Greenfield at Frontpage magazine, published last week, entitled, ‘Beheadings, Bombings and New York’s Little Bangladesh.’ They wanted to know if most of these Bangladeshis taking over neighborhoods in NYC are “refugees.”
Well, no, not technically. We have only taken a handful of Bangladeshis directly from Bangladesh through the Refugee Program in the ten years reported in the most recent Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) report to Congress. If you have never looked at these reports, which the ORR is notoriously late on producing, then check this one out. Tables near the end, have stats on who we admitted in the previous ten years. I also went back to the years 1983-2000 and we did not bring any Bangladeshi “refugees.”
Rasel Siddiquee (left) is charged with beheading landlord. http://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/Arrest-Made-Brooklyn-Building-Beheading-Kensingon-239213971.html
Here is Greenfield:
Bangladesh is more than 90 percent Muslim. Hindus are being attacked in the streets of its cities by Islamist mobs because Islam does not co-exist. The other religions of the city do not demand that everyone join them or acknowledge their supremacy and pay them protection money for the right to exist.
Islam does.
Its immigration is also a Jihad, a form of supremacist manifest destiny to colonize the Dar al-Harb and subdue it to the will of a dead prophet with sheer numbers or sheer force. [Al-Hijra!—ed]
The number of Bangladeshis in New York has increased by 20 percent in only four years to an estimated 74,000. And those numbers don’t take into account the unofficial Mohammeds living in basements while nursing their murderous grudges.
Diversity Visa Lottery!
So, not refugees as such! However, one absolutely insane immigration program we have is the ‘Diversity Visa Lottery’(sometimes called the green card lottery) to allow immigrants into the US from countries that have not sent us 50,000 in the past. Bangladeshis took so much interest and won so many lotteries over 5 years that they are now banned from participating. By the way, there are US lawyers who help the hopeful lottery participants craft their applications to get them just right, thus enhancing their chances of ‘winning.’
Here is what we learnedat the Bangladesh US Embassy website:
The Diversity Visa Program in Bangladesh ended in October 2012. The DV program no longer exists in Bangladesh since Bangladesh has sent more than 50,000 new permanent resident visa holders to the United States over the past five years.
Once they have a foot in the door, then through family reunification (chain migration!) they bring in the extended family!
It is possible that some Bangladeshis came as asylum seekers, but I don’t know that. And, surely, some are here illegally. As is the case this time, rarely does the mainstream media give us any information about the immigration status of alleged murderers and criminals like Siddiquee.
Endnote: It should be mentioned that some experts believe that the Burmese Rohingya Muslims are actually from Bangladesh. We are bringing in some Rohingya Muslims who may be attracted to the Bangladeshi neighborhoods since they speak a dialect similar to the Bangladeshis and not so similar to the Burmese dialects. I believe that Esar Met, the recently convicted child rapist and murderer, is a Rohingya, but he is only described generically as a Burmese Muslim tragically placed in a Burmese Christian apartment building.
