British Muslim's hijab 'set on fire' on New York's Fifth Avenue

Police in New York are searching for a man who set a British Muslim's hijab on fire outside a boutique store on bustling Fifth Avenue.

The 35-year-old woman, reportedly a dentist from Glasgow, was window shopping when she suddenly felt her shirt sleeve on fire.

CCTV footage has been released in an attempt to find the man involved, who was brandishing a lighter before he fled the scene.

The NYPD is treating the incident as a potential hate crime, and has released CCTV which shows the suspect.

A spokeswoman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations said: "It's another (piece of) evidence that Muslims are increasingly vulnerable in this political climate."

Last month, an imam and his assistant were shot dead near their mosque in the New York borough of Queens, but an investigation has not determined whether it was an Islamophobic attack.

Nonetheless, New York mayor Bill de Blasio has since deployed additional police officers to secure mosques and reassure the city's Muslim population.

I hate people that are stupid enough to pick on an innocent person just because they hate terrorists and have it make it known that they don't like what that person is wearing. Idiot.
Thank goodness she wasn't hurt.

One version I read was that some drunken fool had been running around pranking several women with a cigarette lighter.  In that case it wasn't a hate attack, just some coward trying to frighten random women for a laugh.

No but it is a good pro Muslim propaganda story again portraying Muslims as the victims... especially on the 9/11 anniversary...


And the articles quickly launched into the recent shooting of the imam over there... and again suggested the hate crime reason behind it...



Similar incident happened here in uk a while ago where a imam was killed and straight away it was full steam ahead with how it was a hate crime and the Muslim victim card heavily played etc...


Read about it here and who the murderers turned out to be...

Tommy, citing Breitbart is like endorsing David Duke.

Shut up Quill... it's a well known story and in all the newspapers and TV channels...


In fact the court case has been going on last couple weeks and jury just found one of them guilty!!!


The other fled to Pakistan 3 days after doing the murder...


Been all over the news!!!


But my main point is how all the media initially rushed to the 'hate crime' waffle and how Muslims are the victims of such evil nastiness etc... when it was a couple of Muslims who killed him all along!!!

I appreciate that, tommy.  But your thought process needs to be disciplined as well.

What gives anyone the right to decide if another posters thought processes are disciplined or not???
I cant tell the reasons for anything Tommy Monk says if I dont agree with him or see where he's coming from but
that can make for a even better thread in my opinion.
I like Tommy!

Thank you for that blackie...


And you're quite right!


Surely you can see the underlying angle of quills 'criticisms' here...?


Only posting the approved leftie lines will be rewarded with praise and compliments...


Differing opinions will result in poster being attacked and ridiculed in as many various ways as possible to try to silence/discredit the poster and undermine the posters opinions... because they cannot actually argue against the points raised with anything legitimate or credible...!

A lack of patience..and a fondness for the person.  When you realize you can't reach a person, you have two alternatives: 1) teach him the tools by which one communicates; or 2) leave him alone.  

It's just kinder this way.
