A 36-year-old Scottish tourist wearing traditional Muslim garb had her blouse set on fire in a bizarre incident outside a pricey Fifth Ave. boutique, police sources said Monday.

The victim noticed the sleeve of her blouse was charred and smoldering in the Saturday night attack, just hours before the ceremony marking the 15-year anniversary of 9/11. She was not badly hurt.

This is the NY Daily News. Every pro-Muslim tidbit they write about has to be double checked by real journalists (not many of those are left).

I see several people posting a downplaying of the incident. It is my feeling that it actually happened and was hostile. He may have thought the material was more flammable than it was.

Probably stood too close to the halal food stand on 6th Avenue.

Sounds like a hyped up story.

Goes from a headline of “Muslim woman set on fire” to sleeve of blouse charred and smoldering in the report.

Truth be know someone probably brushed up against her with a lit cigarette.

36-year-old “Scottish” tourist ?
Don’t they mean “Syrian tourist”?

Why was a Scottish tourist wearing traditional Muslim garb?

Scottish by way of Germany, no doubt.

A burka is not a blouse

She could have burnt the sleeve of the burka before she put it on

I don’t. For every true incident of this nature 99 fake ones are are staged. This is just more of the usual Leftist staged street theater and agit-propaganda.

A “scottish” tourist. Wearing the traditional Scottish Burka, I guess.

And she "noticed some charred fabric"?

Not exactly the same image as “woman set on fire”. But it gets hilLIARy’s decrepit old a$$ off the news, I guess.

I am guessing hoax.

She “noticed some charred fabric” and “not badly hurt” seem to be at odds.

Was she hurt AT ALL?

She did it to herself, how much you wanna bet?

I used to do that to the kid in front of me in 9th grade math class. I never knew it was a hate crime?

Until proven otherwise, I’ll assume that she set her own sleeve on fire.

Yes, false flag operation.
