A prominent national Islamic civil rights and advocacy group today called on law enforcement authorities to treat an assault this morning on a Virginia Muslim woman as a hate crime.

The Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) reported that a 23-year-old Muslim woman, who is 8 months pregnant and wears and Islamic head scarf, said she was out for her morning walk in Arlington, Va., when three white men in a pick-up truck began screaming anti-Muslim and racist slurs at her. According to the victim, the men shouted, "You terrorist b- tch, go back to your country. . .You n-gger b-tch." (The woman is African-American.)

The truck drove away and then returned as the woman continued on her walk. One of the men, who was wearing military-style clothing, allegedly got out of the vehicle and began shoving the woman and preventing her from moving away. During the assault, he shouted, "You terrorist b-tch. . . We're going to kick you're a- s. . . you're nothing." The other men then called the attacker back to the truck and it sped off.

"We believe these types of incidents are the direct result of the growing level of virulent anti-Muslim rhetoric Americans are exposed to on the Internet, in newspaper editorial pages and on radio talk shows," said CAIR Communications Director Ibrahim Hooper. "Our nation's political and religious leaders must begin to challenge Islamophobic hate-mongers."

Hey Ibrahim, it's nopt paranoia when they really are after you.

Yes, this deserves immediate attention. Never mind the thousand of bombings by Islamic radicals, we need to investigate made up, sorry, I mean no witness verbal harassment crimes.

Imagine what will happen if NYC is vaporized by a nuclear strike.

[kharaku]

Anti Muslim rhetoric; you mean like the fact their koran says their messiah will kill Christians and Jews, and that if they do so themselves they'll reap the reward of tents full of virgins in heaven? The Koran quotes are all the anti-muslim rhetoric you need.
