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.”
No, but I’ll wipe my butt on your headscarf Alyson.
“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.
Many more muslim women all over the world hope they will be safe if they don’t wear a hijab. But they won’t.
You go first Ms. Camerotta.
Hey, don’t stop with the dames........make Lemon, Cooper, Blitzer and the rest of the males wear them too........;)
I don’t recall her being this stupid when she was at FNC. Stockholm Syndrome, I guess....
I say we all act like idiots, in solidarity with CNN anchors.
Alyssa, I think you should have your genitals mutilated to show solidarity with Muslims. Whaddya say?
I really don’t get what the heck happened to Alyson Camerota..when she was on Fox News she was decent..she seemed like a good news anchor..but she goes to CNN where she whores herself out to the far left in the worst way possible. I have no idea if she actually believes the BS she is saying or she is just saying it so she can be buddy buddy with her fellow CNN loons
Good idea for the business part of the torch to go with the pitchforks.
Sorry dumschitz, I don’t do “solidarity”.
I had no clue she was this daft
She needs me to rehabilitate her

Lol....I’m going to hell in a bucket
HELL NO!!!!
No, they should not.
Beyond pathetic.
I'll show empathy with the victims.
Didn’t that tradition first start with the NO Aints in the 70s?
islam will get you killed one way or another. Die islam you filthy anal buggering faux religion.
Bondage wear is more honest and to the point, and looks a lot cooler anyway.
Hopefully, President Trump’s infrastructure construction will include some really good lunatic Asylii
He should behead himself to show solidarity.
