Does GFY hate muslims even more now?

FORT WORTH -- A North Texas Muslim has been jailed after co-workers reported an image of child pornography showed up on a screen as he gave a computer slide presentation recently.

Hakmed Aeirm of Denton was in the Mansfield Jail under $300,000 bond after he was charged with two counts of possessing child pornography and one charge of promoting child pornography.

Exel Inc. co-workers told police Aeirm had just completed a PowerPoint presentation on Sept. 4 when he tried to open another document on his laptop computer. The co-workers said a photograph of a nude young boy appeared on the screen.

Exel Inc. is a logistics company in Fort Worth.

According to the police report, Aeirm told Exel officials that a computer virus had caused the image to appear. Nevertheless, police said Excel officials fired Aeirm and contacted police the following week after a search of his laptop found pornographic photos of children that appeared to have been e-mailed to others.

Police seized the computer, as well as disks containing child pornography and a folder with 65 pages of printed pictures of child pornography that Exel officials had found in Aeirm's desk, the report stated.

Aeirm is also the spiritual leader of Landmark Mosque in Sanger. His wife, Julie Smith, said they have been married for 13 years and have two children.

"He's never hurt our children. As far as I know he's never hurt anyone's children," she said. "He has always taken very good care of me and our children. Anything we needed or wanted, he worked and I got it."

She said the congregation at the Sanger mosque was told Wednesday night that her husband was resigning immediately, but was not told why. He had been imam of the church for 3 1/2 years.
