Lebanese Muslim infiltrates USA Haredi community
Here's an alarming case of a Haredi woman in the USA who went into hiding after discovering her husband was actually from a Lebanese Muslim background:
Jewish communities all across America were rocked this week after finding that a Lebanese Muslim man living as an ultra-Orthodox Jew managed to trick a Haredi woman to marry him in New York City's borough of Brooklyn.See the whole article. This is a most horrific case, and maybe the reason he was able to disguise himself so well is because the ultra-Orthodox dress codes enable such a masquerade more easily. He may have been an illegal immigrant too, and this is something the FBI is reportedly investigating. It's terrible that now, the lady may have to be on the lookout for the creep if he's still on the loose.
The man went by the alias Eliyah Haliwa and spoke fluid Hebrew, which helped him assimilate into the Jewish community in Texas where he lived for seven years.
According to the bride’s parents, their daughter discovered her husband’s secret about a month after the wedding, when she found a Lebanese passport among his belongings. She told her family about her discovery and went into hiding.
