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 you’re not Muslim,” Camerota said during an early-morning broadcast on CNN’s “New Day.”
“Maybe it’s 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 Trump’s 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 Trump’s 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 State’s 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. “I’m a Muslim, it’s not what the media portrays me to be.”
During the CNN segment, Camerota’s 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.”
LOL!
I never thought of it like that.
Gun & ammo sales.
How does Alyson feel about her forthcoming cliterectomy?
I am about 10,000 times more likely to don a Crusader’s uniform than a hijab - and I’m Jewish, thus having little love for Crusaders.
although they can burn the flag,.. if we were to burn hijabs, that would be a hate crime!
Americans should wear hijabs to show solidarity with Muslim women who fear being attacked ...<<<
Perfect love casts out fear. Hijabs don’t.
Geeze lady...it’s winter time. EVERYBODY wears a coat and a hat unless you live in the tropics. What’s the problem?
I just want to go one day between now and the end of my life where I can wake up and NOT hear anything in the news about muslims, Islam, hajibs, burkas, sharia law, honor killings, CAIR, halal food, ISIS, Shia, Sunni, Syria, Iraq, Somali “refugees”, the koran, arabs, the muslim brotherhood or the latest muzzie outraged about something stupid and beserking into sudden jihad syndrome...I just one day. I'm sick to death of all of it...and to answer your question, it has contributed absolutely nothing positive to America's cultural heritage. As I often say: "There were no Muslims on the Mayflower."
I have a better idea... to truly show solidarity with fearful Muslims, how ‘bout all female registered democrats are compelled to wear a full burka under threat of assault and/or imprisonment?
CNN hosts should volunteer as human shields for IS camps the day before Trump swears in.
I know at least 1 person who’d rush to the Hijab Store given his close associations with the Pakis - Council of Khalistan’s very own Tim Barnes Phares (TBP).
Courtesy ping TBP. While I think the practice is shameful, I think a hijab will look really good on Ajrawat, Aualakh, and the rest of the uglies that make up the Council of Khalistan.
CNN should practice what they preach: all of their female anchors and guests should wear Hijabs at all times for a week. You know, to show “solidarity” with fearful Muslims. And then the week after that, they could all wear feather headdresses to show “solidarity” with fearful Indians. And then the week after that, they could all wear Mexican headdresses to show “solidarity” with fearful Mexicans. And so forth ...
Meagyn Kelly in a burqa?
CNN should try its hand at being a news organization for a change.
CNN is a broke dick network and is only a praetorian mouthpiece!!!
These barbarians never had it so good living in the West. None of them have any intention to live under sharia and none will return to their open latrines known as muslim countries. The West should ignore their demands and not take them seriously.

She didn’t happen to be wearing one at the time, did she?
Since they are no longer the Clinton News Network, they go back being the Cresent News Network!
