Victim reportedly had heated discussion on religion with Ca. shooter

Stephens said Jennifer Thalasinos “believes her husband was martyred for his faith and beliefs”, however, and told her to tell this to the media.

Stephens said that Thalasinos was a member of the Greek Orthodox Church but had recently converted to become a Messianic Jew, a form of Christianity that includes elements of Judaism.

He posted on his Facebook page numerous links to articles that appeared to reflect his political views.

According to her account, Farook responded by saying that American’s don’t understand Islam, which might be all too true.

The New York Times reported that the friend, Kuuleme Stephens, heard Farook say that Israel was not the Jewish homeland and that Jews don’t belong there.

In the post, sharing an anti-Semitic message he said he received, he wrote of the alleged sender: “He ALSO assumes I’m a JEW – a great Compliment, I should keep him around for that reason alone!”

“When I was in darkness (I was not a Righteous man) I cried out to Jesus (as I mistakenly called Him) and He lifted the veil from my eyes and the weight from my heart”, Thalasinos wrote Susskind-Sacks in September.

A woman whose husband was gunned down in the San Bernardino massacre says she knows she needs to forgive his killers.

“He wanted to serve the Lord and bring more people to the Lord”, Thalasinos said. Thornton said Thalasinos had two children, who are now adults.

Police believe Farook, an environmental inspector with the county health department, carried out the shooting at a holiday party for the department at the Inland Regional Center, a facility that provides services for thousands of people with disabilities.

“He was part of the county family”, Thornton said.

A GoFundMe page set up to help Jennifer Thompson-Thalasinos with funeral expenses and other costs said the couple “had a truly romantic, fairy tale love” and met online through their shared fandom of the 1980s CBS television show, Beauty and the Beast.

“He always kept the door open for discussion”, Stephens said. Beck said his wife talked to Thalasinos on Sunday regarding a medical procedure he underwent.

“They all got along really well”.
