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."
If that happened here, there would be a crowd very quickly to step in between the woman and the morons. Bad behavior is bad behavior.
It was her carrying an AK-47 that caused this?
1. I read the headline and think, "Oh, that's rotten."
2. I see it's a CAIR complaint and think, "Oh... maybe it never happened. Or not that way."
3. Personally, every time I see a lady wrapped up like a burrito in our 100+ degree summer, I think, "Poor lady," and pray she'll come to know Jesus Christ. (And I tend to glower briefly at the husbands.)
According to Moohamhead most women are going to HELL anyways, this is just a little bit of help to acclimatize them!

This story will be shown to be false.
The number of people who have expressed an interest in ethnic cleansing on this thread is troublingly high.
"If a Muslim lives peacefully in America and violates none of our laws and supports no terrorist groups, why would you boycott his business?"
islam teaches muslims to lie to infidels when they are outnumbered. islam teaches that coexistance is out of the question, and infidels are less than human. islam teaches that anything less than a muslim driven theocracy is out of the question, and that muslims should strive for, and even kill for that result.
Otherwise "normal" muslims have strapped on bombs.
I don't trust them, not ANY of them. I do not want to be around them, and they are driving me to hate them.
If I give you a box of candy, and it's very sweet, the best you've ever had, but one out of 1000 of them will kill you, what do you do with the candy?
And your copy of "the handbook of common sense" must be missing the chapter on how (allegedly) getting out of a car and aggressively accosting somebody on the street is not simply a matter of "being offended." There are, in fact, laws against it (see, e.g., S 120.16, Hazing in the First Degree in the New York legal code).
Indeed.
Islam isn't an ethnicity.
I'm a woman. Turn about is fair play. It's a lie. No police reports, nothing. It's a lie put out by that terrorist group cair.
Remember how they wanted the fbi to investigate that burned koram, as a hate crime. Wasn't a hate crime after-all.
Hmmmm..... Can you think of any other country where membership in a specific religious group was considered sufficient grounds for boycotting and expulsion?
One hesitates to make the comparison -- but it's sure getting harder to avoid it for some of these folks.
Then you are nothing more than a bigot, if you can't treat people as individuals, rather than just members of a group. As conservatives, we are supposed to judge people based on their individual merits, rather than what group they fall into.
If I give you a box of candy, and it's very sweet, the best you've ever had, but one out of 1000 of them will kill you, what do you do with the candy?
That's true of people in general. I'm sure that if you pass 1000 people on the street, at least one of them would be willing to kill you, for whatever reason.

Well, Virginia is an open-carry state.
Many people on this thread need to attend a Sensitivity training seminar- sponsored by CAIR.
CAIR has a history of telling stories of Muslims being attacked that turn out to be untrue.
Where is the evidence?
The woman needs somebody other than CAIR helping her. The very fact that they are speaking for her make the whole thing suspect.
