Title: Tragic Irony in Murder of Iranian Woman Who Fled Persecution, Only to Become Terror Victim

One of the victims of the terror attack, Bennetta Betbadal, fled her home in Iran after the 1979 revolution because she was being persecuted for her Christian beliefs. She came to the U.S., eventually settled in California, got married, had a family, and was living a comfortable, happy life.

Until she crossed paths with a couple of terrorists.

Washington Times:

“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,” the family’s statement said.

Betbadal and her husband, a police officer at Riverside Community College, have three children, two boys and a girl ages 10, 12, and 15, the Sun reported. The couple, religious Roman Catholics, were married in March 1997.

“There is no reason for evilness,” her husband, Arlen Verdehyou, told the paper. “You just have to be strong for each other.”

Betbadal took a job as an inspector with the San Bernardino County Health Department in 2006.

“Bennetta was proud to work for the people of San Bernardino County,” the statement said. “She loved her job, her community, and her country.”

The statement said Betbadal left the house excited Wednesday morning about a presentation she planned to give to her supervisors and coworkers at their annual meeting at the Inland Regional Center.

“She decorated a beautiful Christmas tree,” her husband told the Sun.

A Gofundme account created Wednesday to help the family has already surpassed $45,000.

While Mrs. Betbadal's story is profoundly tragic, the life history of the 13 other victims is also heart-rending. Looking at a montage of the victims, you realize they are a microcosm of America – black, white, native-born, immigrant. Their differences were not as important as what united them: a love of family and community.

Their loss should not have happened. Tashfeen Malik, a female terrorist who pledged allegiance to ISIS, breezed through the "vetting" by DHS despite her ties to a radical imam in Pakistan. Until the government gets serious about keeping terrorists out of the country, more San Bernardinos are bound to occur.

State Dept says killer got "extensive"screening for her K1VISA.....but ABC reporting address she gave State Dept for visa does not exist. Ben Carson tweets This shooting not only confirms that ISIS's mission has been brought to our shore, but also confirms my greatest fear -- they have been able to get a radicalized Islamic terrorist through our vetting system.

you mean to say you are advocating profiling to keep islamic terrorists out, why isn't the same profiling being applied to keeping guns out of the hands of those who kill for ideology and pleasure. When I hear statements like you just made I know there is a double standard here. Your gun makers are allowed to manufacture and sell guns all over the world that are used to kill and maim but nothing is done to stop them, no, it is a successful industry, a bastion of yankee engenuity, and yet you allow the carnage not only in your own county but all over the world. You rail against the evil of those who use guns but not against those who make them.

Your governemnt needs to get serious about stopping home grown terrorism. In case you didn't notice the prime terrorist was american born and the one thing that distinguished him, made him a terrorist was he was muslim. Let's not shilly shally around the facts, most terrorists are muslim, so what you need to keep out are muslims, then you can also start to deal with the radicalisation of your own people.

I predict that the world is reaching a point where muslim migration is unacceptable

because you know as well as I do that those who would kill for ideology and pleasure will not be deterred by silly gun control laws . We have had this discussion before and I think I've demonstrated that it's where gun control laws are strictest that there is the most chance that those who would use guns for murder prey .Why do you think that more often than not ,mass killings occur here where there are 'gun free zones' ?

But that wasn't my question. I wasn't speaking about silly gun control laws but identifying individuals who pose a threat becuase their actions/ideology places them on a high likihood of offending. You see Tom you have to get around to asking some important, inconvenient questions. Ihe idea that everyone is innocent isn't what is practical in some circumstances. Your nation has ceased to apply that principle when it makes drone strikes, everyone is guilty by association or even suspicion but of course they arn't US residents. This is as much a war as any other, the casuality count is enormous but unquestioned as why this should be allowed without a military response.

I'll tell you why, because some stupid men in the eighteenth century made some expedient and poorly thought through changes to the constitution and the dilberts of today still think it was a good idea

now that is a completely different question than restricting the access of guns to law abiding citizens . Of course we should identify the jihadists in our midst .Here in NY we had some pretty good success because Ray Kelly dared to spy on Mosques in NJ . But that was before we forgot.
