A friend posted a link to this really sad article of a father and his two daughters enjoying a beautiful day bike riding in their neighborhood. A reckless driver was speeding down the road and lost control hitting down the family biking Sadly, the father and one of the daughters passed away. Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi rajioon (From God we came and it is God we will return to). May Allah (God) have mercy on them and grant them jannatul firdaus (the garden of paradise – the highest level of heaven in Islam).
I commented at first, outraged with the death of my fellow Muslims, accusing the reckless driver of targeting them. Even after reading the news article saying how the it was a young 17-year-old teenager who was shocked he had killed 2 people. I read what I wanted to read like the fact he was arrested for conspiracy to commit manslaughter. I read that as: he’s been charged with manslaughter so he targeted the Muslim family.
Conspiracy theories are very attracting to those without answers and looking for alternate answers that fit their agenda. I will admit that many are interesting and I do believe some aspects of them which I will leave to another post. So what am I getting at? Well in this post I plan on reading the news article of the sad and tragic event by from the mind of Muslim conspiracy theorist showing that sometimes we as Muslims make the mistake of reading the news like Islamophobes read it.
SARCASTIC SATIRICAL PIECE BEGINS:
__________________________________
CONCORD — A speeding teen driver lost control of his sport utility vehicle, jumped a sidewalk and struck a Concord family out for a morning bike ride Saturday, killing a father and his 9-year-old daughter and injuring his 12-year-old daughter, authorities said.
Solaiman Nuri, 41, and his younger daughter, Hadessa, were killed in the crash along Treat Boulevard, near Oak Grove Road, said Concord police Lt. Bill Roche.
Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi rajioon. May Allah (swt) have mercy on them and forgive them.
The driver in the crash — identified by friends as David Rosen, 17, of Concord — suffered minor injuries and was transported to a different Contra Costa County hospital, authorities said. He later was arrested on suspicion of manslaughter at the Concord police station, Roche said.
SubhanAllah! Look at this. It was a Jewish man, David Rosen, driving his car into our innocent Muslim brothers and sisters. He only had minor injuries. He is probably a Zionist Israeli. He’s only arrested for “suspicion”. His family probably runs the police and town, so he will get away scot free. If it was a Muslim, he’d be sent to Guantanamo Bay and tortured.
I have sources that tell me, the Rosen family are well connected to the Jewish Israeli Zionist terrorist group, Lehi. The Rosen’s grandfather’s brother’s son’s cousin’s wife’s brother-in-law’s daughter’s father’s friend was a member of the group!
Witnesses said the vehicle was traveling at an excessive rate of speed,” Broschard said.
Rosen will be held at Contra Costa County Juvenile Hall in Martinez this week while investigators consult with the District Attorney’s Office about the case, police said.
The accident occurred about 9:30 a.m., when the father and his two daughters, all wearing helmets, were on a regular family outing — riding bicycles along a Treat Boulevard sidewalk, Broschard said.
At that same time, Rosen, who was driving west on Treat Boulevard, swerved to avoid a car in front of him as he sped through an intersection and lost control of the white 2002 Cadillac Escalade, authorities and witnesses said.
So the Jewish guy was driving a nice luxury car of course, an Escalade, and they report he was driving at “an excessive rate of speed” and he “swerved to avoid a car in front of him”. This is lies! The Zionist controlled media is lying to protect their own. In fact the Rosen’s family grandmother’s brother’s son’s wife’s brother’s brother-in-law’s neighbor works as a janitor for the newspaper!

SARCASTIC SATIRICAL PIECE ENDS. BACK TO REALITY:
Okay, obviously I was exaggerating my comments, but to get the point across this is exactly what Islamophobes do to articles related to Muslims doing anything wrong. They always link them to some group they don’t like and then they automatically become a terrorist.
In all seriousness, this incident is a tragedy all around. The Muslim family is devastated of the loss of the father and daughter. The young 17-year-old teenager has to live the rest of his live knowing that he killed two people. This is a heavy burden on all sides. May Allah have mercy on the family and make it easy for them. May Allah guide David Rosen to peace.

That’s a good point you made and indeed, we shouldn’t look too much into an incident like this. An accident is an accident…no one can plan in advance what to do during an accident. Islamophobes will never learn, however.

David Rosen is a thug. A “gangsta” wannabe. A reckless teenage punk who couldn’t conduct himself well enough to stay in a regular high school, so he attends a “continuation” school. This is what the thug generation breeds, glorified by rap music and the ghetto lifestyle.

I commiserate with all my heart with the family of Nuri and Hadeeza Nuri, killed by a teenager in Concord, California recently. May their souls rest in peace. May Allah be with you and grant you junnat. This is a tragedy that should never have happened. Unfortunately to compound issues, the perpetrator has just been released with no charges brought against him. This is such a massive miscarriage of justice that it begs for redress. While it might have been an accident, the fact is two people lost their lives and somebody needs to be held accountable for his actions. I sympathize with the teenager’s family as well because they now have to live with the memory of what their son did…
I asked a week ago who wanted to bet a thousand bucks that this kid would be released with no charges….rich, white teenager driving an Escalade hits Arab father and daughter in America and you really think there will be any accountability? This is America and we have come to realize that hatred and prejudice are the rules that count. If this were the other way around and an Arab teenager hit and killed the father and daughter of some prominent white family we would never hear the end of it and all kinds of charges would have been immediately brought to bear against the kid…however this is not the case…some things will never change…and white America wonders why people are so angry all the time….it is really sad that the majority of those whose opinions matter in this country choose to keep quiet when faced with the choice to speak out against obvious injustices. One day, when the final chapters of prejudice and racism in America has, without fear or favor, been finally exposed and published for the world to view, with 20/20 hindsight we will have a new generation of commentators who will come up with plausible reasons why they chose not to speak out convincingly for over 200 years…..as things stand now, prejudice is par for the course…the status quo, and anyone who doesn’t believe this should take a look at the grieving faces of the remaining members of the Nuri family and ask themselves, sincerely, how they would feel if this was their family……

You are an utter moron. You think this kid is a Jewish Zionist? No wonder THE WORLD is sick of Muslims and their f’ed up brains. Muslims are phobic of everyone and then blame the free world for being concerned about you nut jobs. The thing is, you all are incapable of self criticism and reflection on your own actions.

I am not sure if you are being sarcastic, but did you read my entire post?

There are some great screenshots of his facebook page at the following site – you’ll see his compatriots mocking the dead in comments: http://facepunch.com/threads/1175959

Anyone know why this guy is not being charged?
First report he was charged with manslaughter, then released because there were no charges?
Who is this guy?

Why do you assume the family was muslim? By their last name? They could be of any religion.
Jun 19, 2012 @ 23:51:51
Thank you for the question. This is a good point. A name alone does not suggest their religion. I knew they were Muslims because the source of the news came from a member of the Muslim community in their locality. Asking for prayer for them and giving information about the “janazah” (Muslim funeral prayer).
