“Shareef is expected to receive no more than 18 months when she is be sentenced in US District Court in Riverside.”
Good. And after serving a small part of that sentence and then being released, she will become a loyal, patriotic American citizen, right?
Rafia Sultana Shareef is an also an active member of the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA), the group responsible for the billboards that are up all across the country, saying that Muhammad taught peace and women’s rights.
“Mother of San Bernardino terrorist will plead guilty to destroying evidence after she shredded a map her son used in the 2015 attack that left 14 dead,” Dailymail.com, March 3, 2020:
The mother of a terrorist who killed 14 people in a 2015 attack in San Bernardino, California, has agreed to plead guilty to destroying evidence by shredding a map her son may have used to plan the massacre.
Rafia Sultana Shareef, 66, of Corona agreed to plead guilty to a charge of intending to impede a federal criminal investigation by altering, destroying and mutilating records, the US attorney’s office announced Tuesday.
The crime carries a potential 20-year federal prison sentence. But under the plea agreement, Shareef is expected to receive no more than 18 months when she is be sentenced in US District Court in Riverside.
Shareef, also known as Rafia Farook, is the mother of Syed Rizwan Farook.
He and his wife, Tashfeen Malik, opened fire with semiautomatic rifles on a Christmas party gathering of Farook’s colleagues at the San Bernardino Department of Public Health on December 2, 2015,.
They shot dead 14 people and wounded 22 others before fleeing the scene. They were killed hours later in a shootout with police.
At the time, Shareef was sharing a Redlands home with her son, his wife and their 6-month-old daughter.
On the morning of the shooting, Farook and Malik left the home, telling Shareef that they were going to a medical appointment, prosecutors said.
Instead, they drove to the Inland Regional Center in San Bernardino and attacked the party.
After Shareef learned that law enforcement had identified her son as a suspect in the attack, she went into his bedroom, ‘grabbed at least one document that appeared to be a map, and fed it into a shredder,’ the US attorney’s office said.
‘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,’ the statement said….

Speechless!

No kidding why give her a plea deak at? They are both dead and she will never give up any other information…stupid
David says
I vote she should wear a full burqa! I also vote for a 20 year sentence. Anyone join me?
Hugh Fitzgerald says
On what does this sinister woman live? Might she be receiving benefits supplied by the far-too-generous American government? Social security? SSI? What? She ought to be receiving nothing from the state or federal governments. She should be given a fine, to accompany her prison sentence, large enough to impoverish her. Is she a citizen? If not, expel her back to her country of origin. If she is a citizen, then strip her of that citizenship as part of her punishment, then expel her, so that she can live out her last years with whatever minimal support such a state would likely provide, rather than on the American dole. Eighteen months in prison is far too little for the crime of aiding and abetting a terrorist who murdered 14 people.
If there is no law on the books that strips citizenship from anyone engaged in, or helping others to engage in, gterrorism — then pass such a law now.
Wellington says
Seconded.
CogitoErgoSum says
She should be treated in accordance with the Koran’s prescribed punishment for causing mischief in the land. Cut off an arm and a leg from her opposite sides, or crucify her, or banish her from the land. In her case the last option should be sufficient. But …. I doubt if she considers what she did to be mischief. I’m sure she thinks of it as a form of Jihad and that a reward awaits her, especially now that her son can vouch for her in Muslim Paradise (would a Muslim mother believe her Jihadi son to be anywhere else?).
gravenimage says
Waging Jihad against the ‘filthy Infidel’ is not considered causing mischief in the land, of course.
David says
Well we certainly do! Lock her up as an example to others. A good 20 year deterrent sentence.

Exactly!
Student of History says
I would have been too – about 7 years ago.
The subission to islam has gathered so much speed so quickly that I am actually surprised this terrorists enabler got any prison time at all.
If things continue like they are, then in about 5 (at most 10) years time she would receive an award I think.
The pace of change towards islamization is truly freightening and needs be stopped NOW, before it is too late in the US like it is in F.ex. Sweden or the UK or Germany or France and probably Holland and Belgium as well. Italy too if they keep their left wing idiots in government.
PRCS says
Upon incarceration, all benefits (Social Security, SSI, etc., will be terminated.
gravenimage says
True, PRCS–but they start up again immediately upon release.
Instead, she should be deported.
PRCS says
Prison, first.
Deportation without it would be another slap in the victims’ families faces.
gravenimage says
Agreed, PRCS. I should have made that clear.
Just Venting says
Unfortunately, I do not have a link, nor do I recall what news agency printed this, but there are some legal wranglings going on regarding her son’s life insurance payout. Also, she may be the recipient of her son’s county retirement. Yes, he would be entitled to a county retirement and since his wife died, his mom could very well be the next in line recipient. Also, since that couple had a child, grandma could very well be the “executor” and have access to the funds to care for said child. If daughter in law had a retirement plan (not sure where she worked) and it went to the child as well, grandma would most likely have access to the funds to care for the child as well.
Plus, knowing what goes on with many legally admitted immigrants, once these people get citizenship, they can apply for SSI. Since there is often now way to track what is owned outside of the US, they may appear to have no resources here.
Hopefully, after release, she will be shown the door. Unfortunately, since she was awarded custody of the US born grandchild, I suspect that she will remain here.
PRCS says

A note:
Once an immigrant becomes a Naturalized U.S, Citizens they have every right and every benefit a native born citizen is entitled to.
Recent events, however, have made clear that the vetting process needs improvement.
P.S. Her life insurance situation: you might have read that here at JW:
Mother of San Bernardino jihad mass murderer demands to receive his $280,000 life insurance policy
https://www.jihadwatch.org/2019/12/mother-of-san-bernardino-jihad-mass-murderer-demands-to-receive-his-280000-life-insurance-policy
David says
Would this Life Insurance be fraud, knowing he intended to die?
PRCS says
Don’t know.
Rebecca says
Don’t some life insurance policies have stipulations on circumstances where the policy will not be paid? Think killed while in the act of committing a felony may be one. She should go to jail and then Be stripped of citizenship if she is one and deported. She can make the choice to take the grandchild with her or leave it here with other relatives or foster care/ adoption. She’s probably been living off government programs since coming here and now welfare for the child unless she actually got money from the parents’ jobs. Don’t think either were old enough to retire so at most if they worked long enough to be vested in retirement the money they contributed from their checks would be returned to whoever they had down as beneficiaries.
gravenimage says
Yes–the idea that the Jihadist’s life insurance should pay out when he died slaughtering innocent people is just grotesque. This story has been covered here at Jihad Watch.
PRCS says
Yes, linked above.
gravenimage says
Thanks, PRCS.
David says
This is like the Palestinian Authority paying out Jihadi families, with western aid money.
Wayne Sweeney says
Yes, there is, they are considered enemy combatants. So as that they can be stripped of their citizenship and deported. Or because of the enemy combatant status there is that sunny resort down in Cuba they can be sent to.
Giacomo Latta says
If she was allowed to enter the country under a uniting-of-family programme then she should be united with her son wherever he happens to be interred.
Bren says
I agree with the punishment you listed. We cannot continue to pamper terrorists who plot to kill Americans. Neither can we pamper those who aid and abet them.
I wonder if she shredded any information that could have led to associates of theirs?
Your son just killed 14 people and now he and his wife are dead. First thing you do is run into his room to destroy anything that could connect him to terrorism? Very loving gesture, mom.
Norger says
That she knew to destroy documents relating to this attack suggests that she was aware of her son’s and daughter in law’s plans in advance. Plus they kept a small arsenal in the house. 18 months is a slap on the wrist and a slap in the face of the victim’s’ families.
gravenimage says
Exactly, Norger.
Bren says
I totally agree.
.Bridgette says
Hard time then deport. Once again the justice system has failed to protect the average true American.
Walter Sieruk says
About that brutal and murderous jihad massacre in the city of San Bernardino . All Americans need to wake up to the reality that those two murdering jihadist/Muslims were not engaging in warped or hijacked form of Islam but in an actual real hard core ,non- watered down , genuine Koranic based Islam.
For example the Koran [the Qu ‘ran] instructs in Sura 9 :111 “The believers fight in Allah’s Cause , they slay and are slain, they kill and are killed.” Likewise, the Koran teaches in Sura 47:4. “Whenever you encounter the unbelievers strike off their heads until you make a great slaughter among them…” Let’s face it, using firearms, as those jihad –minded Muslims did in San Bernardino did can sure make a greater “slaughter among them” than a sword can.
So all Americans need to know and understand the actual truth. Which is Islam is not a peaceful religion. Islam is, in essence, violent and dangerous.
Donovan Nuera says
One of most evils things about the whole massacre was that these innocent kafir victims at his workplace gave the ugloid Pakistani wife gifts for her baby shower previously out of sincere kindness.
And all of this happening during OUR Holy Season of Christmas and Hanukkah.
The consolation was that based on the leaked crime scene photos of these 2 dead evil jihadis lying dead on the asphalt after their encounter with our brace police, looked like they sufferered a lot before going to Hades.
Donovan Nuera says
A plea agreement that knocked a solid 20 year sentence to 18 months?? Was the prosecutor the same one in the Awan Brotherhood Congressional Espionage Fiasco???
TKF says
Why, oh why do we let Muslim filth like this wretched woman and her Jihadi family into our beautiful country? Scum of the earth. No more Muslim immigrants….NONE.
Shirley Ann says
Is Rafia Shareef, aka Farook, really a Female or Male? It has the face of a Male & I bet my last Dinero that Rafia is a Bonifide SOCIALIST/DEM, a Card Carrying One.
It would be a Shoe-In for the City Council of the DEM CITY OF SAN Bernardino, if NOT, the Mayor would appoint IT to a totally New DEPT., Muslim Advisor to the DHIMMI MAYOR!
No Virtual Jail Time for this Accessory to Mass MURDER, IT has a Terrorist Grandchild to Raise.
gravenimage says
Actually, the mayor of San Bernardino is a Republican. Over all, San Bernardino is in a pretty “red” part of the state.
revereridesagain says
Interesting how Islam still insists that ugly old ladies keep their hair covered lest they incur the lust of kafirs starved for Muslim feminine beauty! Personally I suspect this amoral old bat can probably consider herself safe on that count.
Michael Copeland says
It was a Christmas party.
To a muslim the birth of a son of the Deity is itself a gross blasphemy.
The religion component was a critical one in the jihad attack.
Remember that the tainted compromised BBC called it “an office lunch”.

James Lincoln says
From the feature article:
“Syed Rizwan Farook and his wife, Tashfeen Malik, opened fire with semiautomatic rifles on a Christmas party gathering of Farook’s colleagues at the San Bernardino Department of Public Health on December 2, 2015.”
Philip Haney (R.I.P) DHS whistleblower knew about these individuals before hand but their case files were purposely deleted by DHS in order to protect “civil rights”.
According to Mr. Haney, if these files had been kept open and actively investigated, the San Bernardino terrorist attack likely would not have happened.
Mr. Haney starts talking about San Bernardino at the 17 minute mark.
The late Philip Haney was an American patriot of the highest order. The nature of his recent death should be fully investigated. Suicide does not seem very likely…

Typical example of the so-called moderate Muslim: she conceals, aids abets counsels and enables the pious Muslims who wreak havoc. As an aider and abettor she should face criminal liability for every crime the jihadis committed. And how many days is a nominal 18 months? Will she get credit for time served and waltz out to kill again for al Lah? If she actually serves any time, will they quarantine her or will she bring a dozen or a hundred new criminals into the cult?

In other words, dear old mom was complicit in the massacre. I hope she is deported when she gets out.

———————————————————————————————————————————–
Some iman or other recently claimed that Corona virus was a “punishment from Allah” – from the above, it appears that this particularly malignant 1400-year old strain of “Corona virus” has already killed 14 in San Bernardino, and that the authorities are doing very little to inhibit it’s spread….
s says
guess the lesson should be … if ya wanna do less time or none for the crime, put on a hijab, burka and plead cultural differences…
OLD GUY says
I wonder if she will be out in less than 18 months, due to time already served? The big question is did she know about the attack prior to it happening? If she did then she should get a much stiffer sentence, if not and she just panicked or was afraid she would be implicated due to her relationship then the lighter sentence is probably just.
Brenda says
This mosque worshiper is a terrorist. She should be tried as a terrorist for aiding and abetting a terrorist act – 14 people were murdered in cold blood and 14 families are grieving. There should never, ever be any plea bargains for terrorists.
If she was granted US citizenship, it should be revoked. She should be deported (after serving her ‘sentence’), any money or property should be sold and distributed among the victims families/charity and she should be permanently denied re-entry. She can leave this country with only clothes on her back.
That is the only way to deal with people of her ilk.
David says
Could this woman be the origin of the Corona virus? Or maybe the Koran-a-Virus? (more deadly)
James says
‘Islam-Muslim’ started with revolting vile cave dweller Muhammad.
Since “Women’s Rights” is part of the issue in this post, NEVER FORGET: that vile pervert paid off Jubayr ibn Mut’im to release the 6 year old Aisha from THEIR OWN marriage engagement, so cave-dweller Muhammad could then marry her. BOTH are in direct violation of the so-called beliefs of ‘Islam-Muslim’, and especially in violation of all Women’s Rights as well. That disgusting so-called ‘marriage’ then went on to shameful AND criminal consummation violation against Aisha at the age of 8 years old.
Muhammad was nearly stoned to death by his own ‘people’ in Medina. After a long time in healing up from massive injuries, cave dweller Muhammad to then flee to Mecca.
It’s no wonder why Islam-Muslim’ enjoy camel humps.
