Americans should wear hijabs to show solidarity with Muslim women who fear being attacked for wearing the religious head covering, CNN anchor Alisyn Camerota suggested on Monday, just hours before an Islamic radical stabbed students at Ohio State University.
Maybe there will be a movement where people wear the head scarf in solidarity. You know, even if youre not Muslim, Camerota said during an early-morning broadcast on CNNs New Day.
Maybe its the way people shave their heads, you know, sometimes in solidarity with somebody who is going through something, she added.
Camerota was responding to a CNN segment about Muslim women who say they live in fear of being verbally or physically attacked for wearing head scarves.
The segment tied a spate of alleged incidents in which Muslim women have been targeted for wearing hijabs to Donald Trumps presidential win.
The Trump Transition: Fearful Muslim women take steps to be safe, read the chyron that CNN chose for the segment.
I hope I can wear it one day again. I hope I can feel safe enough to do so, Marwa Abdelghani, a Muslim-American woman, told the network.
The piece did not note that some of the alleged hate incidents in the aftermath of Trumps win have been found to be hoaxes. An 18-year-old University of Louisana-Lafayette student was charged with filing a false report after she claimed that a group of white Trump supporters hurled racial slurs at her and stole her hijab several days after the election.
Ironically, hours after the CNN segment aired, an 18-year-old Somali refugee named Abdul Razak Ali Artan attempted to kill students at Ohio State University.
Artan, who was killed by a campus police officer after stabbing numerous students with a butcher knife, reportedly complained online before the attack about the treatment of Muslims throughout the world. And in an interview with Ohio States student newspaper earlier this year, Artan complained about the lack of prayer rooms on campus.
I wanted to pray in the open, but I was kind of scared with everything going on in the media, he said in that interview. Im a Muslim, its not what the media portrays me to be.
During the CNN segment, Camerotas co-host, Chris Cuomo, suggested another solution for Muslim women who fear being attacked.
I think self-defense training is good for everybody, he said. Prepare yourself for whatever can come.
Maybe its the way people shave their heads, you know, sometimes in solidarity with somebody who is going through something,
Yeah, like collaborators shaved their own heads in solidarity with people going through treason. /S
...for a month.
From WIKI:
[Pamela Geller referred to Camerota as, “clueless Camerota” in reference to Camerota’s perception of Muslims.[9] In May 2015, Geller argued with Camerota regarding the shooting death that occurred at a Geller sponsored event.[10]
The liberal group Media Matters for America lionized Camerota after her defense of Islam and simultaneous critique of Christian “belief systems” during an interview with radio host Armstrong Williams.]
I was thinking the same thing. But then again, Megyn Kelly turn unhinged rather quickly.
Thinking basically the same thing. Thought she had some sense.
Yah as soon as the Muslims start wearing scally caps for the Irish.
Wait a minute. She thinks the Muslim was the victim ? How about all those college students who now have to worry that the government their brain dead professors put together is trying to get them killed by terrorism.
My thoughts exactly.
What a blithering dope.
How about skin-tight black leather and chrome studs?
/it’s really all I have
;D
You mean the people who happily kill infidels at random? Stick it up your ear!
I would do it, except I, as a rotund and bearded man, would look even worse in a hijab than the average Muslim woman does. I just don’t wish to make a spectacle of myself, not even for such a noble cause.
Maybe when Muslims wear crosses.
Lady, when I want your advise I will slap it out of you.
It’s all fun and games until a Hajji walks into the CNN studio with a belt made of TNT.
Why not the national flags of CNN’s patrons in Bahrain and Qatar?
Great answer. Remember the Lybian Pirates.
How about the muslims wear crosses around their necks in solidarity with those who really do not want to harm muslims unless they attack people?
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF. UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They fear me because I will not be fooled by their lies. I will never, ever trust a muslim. There is nothing anyone, muslim or non muslim, can do or say that will change that. I believe the world would be better off if every single copy of their unholy POS quaran was destroyed, every digital copy erased, and islam removed from the face of the earth.
In short, yes islam, I am your enemy. You made me so. You should fear me.
