Napolitano Girlfriend’s Dysfunctional NY Prisons: Muslim Cleric Smuggled Box Cutters
Ever since Janet Napolitano became Homeland Security Secretary, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents warned me about her girlfriend, Dora Schriro, whom she brought with her from Arizona (where Schriro headed the Arizona Department of Corrections). Schriro, a bizarre woman with a Ph.D., treated prisoners as “clients,” her name for them, gave them birthday parties and cakes, etc. And Napolitano made Schriro her special advisor on immigration enforcement, particularly detention and removal of illegal aliens. That’s why many of them are now living in hotel facilities and given perks many destitute legal American citizens would die for. Her New Age psychobabble endangered American national security and made immigration enforcement and detention a nearly impossible task.
Sensible Shoes:
J-No & Gal-Pal Dora the Explorer Further Ruined ICE, NYDOC, Jeopardize America
When people ask me why I call Napolitano, “The Lesbionic Woman,” that’s one of several reasons why. J-No hires many women with whom she’s had and appears to want to have a relationship–most of whom have zero relevant experience–and they are flushing our border security down the toilet. But while Schriro’s policies at ICE will jeopardize our nation for years–maybe, decades–to come. I will be writing more about Schriro (and what she did to ICE) in the near future. Dr. Schriro (as she insists on being called), quickly left Homeland Security for a job running the New York Department of Correction (her official title is “Commissioner”), thanks to Mayor Michael Bloomberg. And that’s where our story begins.
Under Dora Schriro, an extremist Muslim prison cleric (redundant phrase) snuck in box cutter blades. Oh, and he’s a convicted murderer with a record of sexual assault, who converted to Islam in prison. And–how apropos!–his chosen new Islamic surname is Abdu-Shahid, which is Arabic for “Slave of the Martyr.” And the violent cycle of radical Islamic conversions in the prisons comes full circle and continues.
A city Department of Correction Muslim chaplain who served 14 years in prison for murder and robbery was arrested today for carrying three utility blades and a pair of scissors into a lower Manhattan jail, authorities said.
The chaplain, Zulqarnain Abdu-Shahid, had the utility blades and scissors in his duffel bag when he arrived at the Manhattan Detention Complex in the morning, according to the city Department of Investigation. . . .
Authorities did not say why Abdu-Shahid was visiting the jail, commonly known as the Tombs, or why he was carrying the scissors and the rectangular blades, which were 1-and-1/2 inches long by three-quarters of an inch wide.
Abdu-Shahid, 58, was arrested at the scene and charged with four counts of first-degree promoting prison contraband — a felony carrying a maximum 7-year prison term — and four counts of the same charge in the second degree, a misdemeanor.
The Staten Island resident, who is married with three children, was ordered held in lieu of $30,000 bail during a hearing in Manhattan Criminal Court last night, where he appeared in a long robe and navy blue skull cap.
His lawyer, James McQueeney said the blades were ‘injector razor blades from an injector razor,” and that when Abdu-Shahid told that to the correction officers who stopped him, “his explanation that he didn’t know there were there [in the duffel bag] was accepted.”
“He was allowed into the” Tombs after the blades were confiscated,” McQueeney said. “Only later were questions raised about this.”
Incredible. They bought his “I didn’t know they were in there” explanation?! Does that work for us non-Muslims, when we get caught taking guns through airport security? How ’bout for a Christian chaplain trying to sneak this into prison? Don’t bet on it.
“Additional steps up to and including dismissal will be pursued consistent with the findings of” DOI, said Schriro, whom sources added has ordered “a thorough review of his hiring.”
The first “hiring review” should be that of Dora Schriro. And then, they should review having Muslim chaplains altogether. Of course, neither of these things will happen because we simply aren’t serious about facing and defeating the threats to this country posed by Muslims and the conversion and radicalization of non-Muslims in prison. And “Dr.” Schriro is too concerned–far more concerned–about the “welfare” of her incarcerated “clients” than she is about New Yorkers.
Abdu-Shahid was hired as a Muslim imam chaplain by the DOC three years ago tomorrow, and has a salary of $49,471 annually.
State Corrections Department records show that he entered state prison in September 1979 to begin serving a sentence of 15-years-to-life for a second-degree murder and a first-degree robbery committed in Manhattan. He was paroled in August 1993, and finished his parole in August 2001.
According to news accounts at the time, the cleric, a Brooklyn resident then known as Paul Pitts, was convicted with three other defendants in 1979 after the longest criminal trial in New York State Supreme Court history – one year, three months and three days.
Pitts and his co-defendants had held up a Harlem supermarket on Dec. 9, 1976, and during the robbery shot and killed a 30-year-old customer named Philip Crawford.
The Post also has learned that his criminal record includes an arrest for sexual assault in Queens, but that case later was dismissed.
Abdu-Shahid’s lawyer, McQueeney, said, “He’s been out of prison since the early ’90s. He’s completely reformed.”
Uh-huh. Sure he is. That’s why he was carrying blades into a prison.
A city Correction source said of Abdu-Shahid’s arrest, “It’s a disgrace that taxpayers are funding Muslim chaplains who not only have criminal records, but also are promoting violence.”
Abdu-Shahid’s boss — head chaplain Umar Abdul-Jalil — himself was hired by the DOC despite having done a 14-year stint in prison for drug dealing.
Here’s the New York Department of Correction press release downplaying the incident.
Yup, this is Janet Napolitano’s girlfriend’s institution. And so is ICE. Good luck, America.

“(H)e didn’t know there would be there (in the duffle bag.)” That’s (sic.) And what did he need a duffle bag for?
