He said Farook met his wife online, a practice that Ali said is common among his friends. "In our community, it's different," he said, noting that it's difficult for Muslim men to find women to marry. "Internet has become something that eases it."
Ali said he had met Malik on a few occasions, but the niqab obscured her face. "If you asked me how she looked, I couldn't tell you," he said. The couple were married in Islam’s holy city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia last year, according to Farook's co-workers at the health department and others who knew them. The Saudi Embassy in Washington confirmed that Farook spent nine days in the kingdom in the summer of 2014. Authorities said that when he returned to the U.S. in July 2014, he brought Malik with him on a so-called fiancee visa.
After a background check by the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security, she was granted a conditional green card last summer. The couple's daughter was born in May, according to records.
An attorney representing Farook and Malik's family said Malik never spoke about Islamic State or terrorism. “As far as I know, there was no discussion of any of that [among family members]," Mohammad Abuershaid said. The couple hadn't been married that long, he said. "It wasn’t like the family had much time to get to know her."OK, a clue. They got married in mecca, then everything went bzonkers. Go find the preacher that hitched them, and knife the guy. He is the likely culprit. Then track down all the rag headed gals he married off, they are potential belt bombers.
Another clue. There aren't many marriageable women running around with rags on their heads.
