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."
Mo's liars at work.
Well, IF this is true, the guy is an a-hole and should probably be charged with assault or something. I hate jerks like that..
My BS detector is going off too. Not enough details, too stereotypical.
Supposing that this story is true (there's no evidence either way), are you actually trying to justify what these guys did?
Horse Hockey
Let's see. White guys. Check.
In a pickup truck. Check.
I'm surprised she didn't mention the Confederate flag on the bumper.
And no witnesses?
Sounds very fishy.
The more problems we have with Islamic attacks, the more likely there will be popular negative responses to these people.
On the other hand, these heros shouldn't be harassing some pregnant woman. They should direct their anger at Islamic preachers who spew anti-American hate and those who follow them. And at politicians who consistently refuse to do something about Wahhabist Mosques, preachers, madrassehs, and money pouring into this Country from Saudi Arabia.
bullsh*t alert.
Almost like the ubiquitous "two black men" blamed for everything, when someone is trying to cover their own tracks?
Yeah, it does.
Leaving that aside, however, I find it rather disturbing that there are more than a few so-called men on this thread who seem to be applauding the alleged incident.
But we don't know that she was actually harassed. Trust but verify :)
I got $10 bucks that CAIR staged the incident since they're getting so much heat over their campaign against Michael Graham.
Yeah sure, a bunch of guys in a pick-up truck wearing military clothing. Sure.
And the Rev/mullah "liar" Sharpton in the truck?
Did they behead her?
However this is disgusting behavior IF TRUE by these cretins.
WITNESSES? Doesn't Sharia law require 50 men to witness a crime against a woman for her to be believed? CAIR doesn't even give us one.
If this really happened, it's reprehensible. The US does not stand for this type of intolerance.
Now, where was CAIR on 9/12? I did not hear any condemnation of Islamo-terror until the recent fatwa.
