A 42-year-old Wellington man is in the county jail today after his wife told police that he beat her with a television remote and a cable, and that she hadn’t been allowed out of their home in three years.

Qasem Alabed faces charges of aggravated battery-causing bodily harm or disability and aggravated battery on a pregnant woman. He was arrested Wednesday around 11:30 p.m.

The 30-year-old victim met with Palm Beach County Sheriff’s deputies at Wellington’s City Hall at 12300 Forest Hill Blvd. Wednesday to report that her husband beat her with the remote control and the cable, according to a sheriff’s probable cause affidavit.

She spoke through an Arabic translator and said her husband hit her with the cable on her outer thigh.

She then said that she hasn’t been allowed out of their home since she arrived in the country, which was three years ago.

Alabed is being held in the county jail in lieu of $20,000 bail, records show.

The article doesn't indicate this man is a member of Obama's favored religion but if I were a betting person....

“Qasem Alabed” Damn Amish AGAIN!

[dfwgator]

According to feminists, all marriage is ‘imprisonment.’

hmmm..what’s the dead give away here that it’s a culture thing.... Qasem Alabed ???

[massgopguy]

Is Arabic the official language of Wellington?

She wasn’t imprisoned. She was just the only woman in a very lonely harem. Such was her lot in life under Islamic law.

Is Qasem Alabed an American citizen? If not will ICE be able to do anything about him?

Why aren’t people named something like “Joe Smith” or “Sam Brown” anymore?

[liberalh8ter]

Because politicians are more interested in importing than in governing.

No real American man uses the TV remote in such an unapproved fashion.

Shut the thread, we have a winner!

Ohmigoodness, I first read this as “Wellington Mara” (owner of the NJ Giants, grandfather (I think) of the actress Rooney Mara). I think Mr. Mara may actually be deceased, not sure.

No, Wellington is a suburb of West Palm Beach, Fl. It is the winter equestrian destination for Hunter/Jumpers and Polo. It is considered upscale although there are areas within Wellington that are very affordable. If you've ever seen ‘The Vanilla Ice Project’ on HGTV, he constantly states his flip homes are in Wellington, even though they are not.

I watched like 1/2 of one of those shows once. I’m just glad to see Vanilla Ice doing honest work!

Gee, you’d think from the title some bloke in Wellington was guilty of a horrific crime....but as most anyone with two brain cells to rub together, it’s just another Muslim fanatic. There’s a time coming soon there will be more Muslims than ‘blokes’.

Dunno, but they’d probably give him asylum, a stipend, and a home if he asked.
