Catholic Woman Who Fled Islamic Extremism In Iran, Only To Be Killed By Terrorists In San Bernardino

Beautiful family who are now without a mother. Her husband, “She had decorated a beautiful Christmas tree”.

Via Breitbart:


    One of the victims of the San Bernardino massacre was an Iranian Roman Catholic who had fled Iran in 1987 to “escape Islamic extremism and the persecution of Christians that followed the Iranian Revolution,” according to a statement released by her family.

    Bennetta Betbadal, 46, was among 14 people killed on Wednesday at the Inland Regional Center in San Bernardino by terrorists Syed Farook and his wife. The San Bernardino Sun reported that Betbadal (third from left, above) left Iran at the age of 18, first living in New York City and then relocating to California, where she married her husband, Arlen Verdehyou, in 1997. Verdehyou served as a police officer at Riverside Community College.

    The couple moved to Rialto; at her death Betbadal left behind a daughter, 15, and two sons, 12 and 10.

    Betbadal obtained a degree in chemistry from Cal Poly Pomona and also had a bachelor of science degree in biotechnology, later joining the San Bernardino County Health Department in 2006 as an inspector.

    As a devout Catholic, in 2009 Betbadal posted a Facebook note to Ashur Bet Sargis, an Assyrian pop singer: “My dearest Ashur, I thank God for creating you, for creating such a wonderful loving human, and for giving you such a great talent. May our Lord Jesus be with you all the days of your life.”

    Betbadal’s family released a statement on a GoFundMe page they that started, “It is the ultimate irony that her life would be stolen from her that day by what appears to be the same type of extremism that she fled so many years ago.”

    Some are calling Betbadal’s murder an example of the genocide of Christians extending beyond the Middle East.

    “With Ms. Bennetta Betbadal’s death during the California terrorist attacks I am not sure how [House Foreign Affairs Committee] can avoid calling the death of [C]hristians down range a non genocide issue,” one activist said via email.

It's sad.  I noticed the Christmas tree in the background of the photo they had on tv this morning with her husband and children.

Thought to myself...that's right, Iranians are Persians, not Arabs.  And there were a lot of Christians in Iran at one time.

Sad?  Me too. 
How bout barbaric?
How bout nobody in DC reacts?
Not the POS Obama.
Not any Republican in office.

She is Catholic.  What does your good foxhole buddy say?

That's below the belt, famous.  Uncalled for.

And didn't you learn your lesson yet about carrying your beef(s) to other threads?

Come on, man!

So, I'm Supposed to learn something from the almighties here?  Can you send me the user manual?

By the way, I am a very girlie female, man.

The fact that your foxhole bud has nothing to say here speaks volumes about his character.   Just saying.  Can't find the laugh thing.

Yes I saw that and felt so sad for her family. How ironic it is she dies here but with Obama as president I feel there will be a lot more deaths. He also is responsible for every death or injury done by illegals the last 7 years since he allows an open border in our country and won't send the damn illegals back when they do catch them. Now if they go to jail they get an out of jail free card. In any other decade that I have lived in this man would have been run out of office but now we have republicans with out any balls or they are in cahoots with the democrats who have lost their minds and became a mixture of communists and socialists. I look at my grandkids and wonder just what their lives are going to be like in a few years most of what Obama has done can't be undone anymore.

Myst needs to get control of this hateful nonsense if she want's to legitimize this site.  I don't care how long this jackass has been posting here.  I do realize that having a troll like him here does increase traffic, so it's OK if it's if a business decision and it gives Myst some revenue.  I choose to post here, even with this jackass spreading his Obama-loving nonsense.   

[Carling]

Yes it has.

Are you going to address my legitimate questions about how the FBI treated that crime scene in Redlands, or are you going to continue your clown act while defending the indefensible while sticking up for your "buddy" sinkspur? 

[sinkspur]

Have a shot. You could go all night.

What the hell are you getting on about?  I said they were good questions, as in, they are worth asking.  If you addressed them to me then you're sorely mistaken because I have no idea where the answers lie.  I quite agree that the whole thing seems rather fishy, but I have no real idea whether my speculation is near the truth or not.  I don't know if yours is, either.

You have some serious problems if you're trying to get more fights stirred up.

If you don't like it, then please leave.  Nobody's going to ban you, but nobody's going to make you stick around, either.

"Row this site"?  I take it back. No Jagermeister for you.

Have a shot. You could go all night.

Your recent posts are about calling tax credits for new construction projects as a bad thing, how allowing the FBI to let what should have been a sealed site is OK because the landlord gets entry, and how this shooting was "workplace violence" long after it was obvious this was terrorism and you couldn't be seen as at all credible without contradicting yourself.  You even gave the patented "it's a theory" liberal claptrap excuse when your opinion was crashing down all around you.

You're my enemy.  I'd spit that shot in your eye.

What have I posted of substance that you disagree with, Oceander?

Every post I've read of yours since you attacked me personally has mirrored my concerns, unless you I quote your posts.

Now we're down in the gutter with me missing a "G" in my post. 

This is a classic liberal deflection and derailing of a thread.   Mock a poster for missing one letter while ignoring the substance of the overall post.

I haven't posted about tax credits in days, I don't control what the FBI does, the shooting was terrorism and I said so today.

You are really angry. I guess no sex for you tonight, huh?

I certainly disagree with you about the usefulness of tax credits, whether for construction or for anything else.  If that's the only bone of contention between us, though, then I suggest we call it a night and wish each other peace.

Please.  This thread is about a Catholic woman who fled islamic oppression only to be killed by her oppressors in the USA. 

A crude member posted a photo of some sort of alcoholic drink he thought would end the thread.  This is his MO.  I thought he was a Catholic himself; apparently, he could care less about the topic.  He seems to be focused on sowing discord. 

If that's what you all want, have at it.  In the meantime, God help the deceased woman and her family.

You're correct.  My apologies.

No, you bashed me in numerous posts before actually addressing anything other than sinkspur's derailment of that thread.  My legitimate questions were within the first ten posts in that thread, and you chose to ignore them.

Why is that?  It makes me question your motives.

How about we take famousdayandyear's suggestion and let the thread go back to the poor woman who is the subject of the thread?
