Nicole was walking through an affluent part of Alexandria, Virginia, with a friend last month, when a man approached her and began screaming.
He railed about the hijab she wore, saying she looked Muslim, and made comments about Hamas raping Israeli women, she said. Her friend corroborated the account.
It was just days after the start of the Israel-Hamas war and the encounter left Nicole feeling rattled, worried and frightened. So much so, that she asked CNN to use only her first name, out of fear for her family’s safety.
“I haven’t stopped wearing hijab. I didn’t after 9/11 either,” she told CNN. “If I have one more person scream at me in public and certainly if someone were to threaten me, I think all bets are off.”
Nicole, who is in her 40s, said she’s been wearing a hijab for more than half of her life. And while she’s grown used to stares and occasional comments about her headscarf, Nicole said she fears the growing anti-Muslim sentiment in the US could escalate into violence.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) said the US is experiencing an “unprecedented” increase in reported anti-Arab and anti-Muslim bias incidents in the weeks since the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel.
A week after the Hamas attack, a 6-year-old Palestinian American boy was stabbed to death outside of Chicago. His family’s landlord was charged in what police are calling a hate crime. He’s pleaded not guilty to charges including murder.

There are no “innocent” muslims. Radical Islam will kill you and your family. So called moderate muslims will silently watch you die.
Maybe if they weren’t out there praising and defending terrorists. This whiny muslims who are always declaring holy war on everyone or silently approving of their more openly radical brethren always pull this crap. There isn’t any great anti-Muslim sentiment even though there is plenty of anti importing radical muslim’s that want to implement sharia law and support this warped view where Palestinians who support and hide HAMAS are somehow victims. There would be peace if the Palestinians would have it. Its them who choose war and terrorism over the peace that Israel has attempted in good faith to facilitate.
CNN and Christina Zdanowicz Horse Manure.
In Alexandria? I’ll take “Things that never happened for $1000” Alex
There is no such thing as an Arab or Muslim AMERICAN. The best they can do is a certificate saying they are U.S. citizen and a wallet full of U.S. currency. Being an AMERICAN involves a hell of a lot more than that. It’s a state of mind.
Can we assume they took hisp picture with their cell phone and/or immediately called the police?
And/or contacted the closest newspaper?
In this case the Washington Post - with the picture of the accused? the local newspaper?
Didn’t think so...
Fine by me.
Now they can learn to live like those they oppress.
I would submit that it was due to projection. They think everyone is like them and they cannot fathom that we don't think that way.
The Commie Central News bureau straining to find any miniscule percentage of white crime against BIPOCs at all, any whatsover, with which to stir aniti-white resentment.
Any pressure, resistance, or rancor the muzzies perceive is an ENTIRELY self-inflicted wound. They want the enmity to stop - they only need to stop.
“Hijab” is how the Muzzies say “swastika”
Yeah right liars!
CNN is now the mouthpiece of CAIR a known terrorist sympathizer(at best).
“ The fact that they set this BS story in Alexandria VA makes it even more obviously fake.”
I agree. The only problem muslims have here in Northern Virginia is with MS-13 and the 18th Street gangs. Otherwise, the Feds let them have all sorts of jihadi headquarters here.
Funny how those who commit and/or support the most egregious acts of violence claim to be the aggrieved party!
“Every move you make, every breath you take I’ll be watching you.”

The group that uses terror as a weapon now lives in terror. For no reason at all. Because Islamophobia isn’t a real thing.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Islamophobia is a term used to deflect criticism away from terrorists and those who support them while vilifying virtually everyone on the planet who is not a Muslim. Eventually there’s going to be a bloodbath the likes of which haven’t been seen since the Hammer drove the Moors out of Gaul.
What absolute phonies: The most aggressive and hate-filled people on this planet are the moslems. They literally hate EVERYONE.
Speaking of Gaul, I think the next major battleground is France.
I am glad I am a Christian, we love everybody.

Well I’m one too, and I certainly do not love everybody. The word “love” is often cheapened by inappropriate use.
