University of Texas-Arlington: Muslim student admits she made up story about being threatened at gunpoint

Feb 14, 2015 1:29 pm By Robert Spencer

universityoftexasarlingtontexashallAs I have said many times, Islamic supremacists actually want and need hate crimes against Muslims, and in the absence of any significant number of actual ones, they have to invent them. Hamas-linked CAIR and other Muslims have on many occasions in the past not hesitated to stoop even to fabricating “hate crimes,” including attacks on mosques. Hamas-linked CAIR and other groups like it use hate crimes against Muslims to try to gain political points: Muslims are victims, you see, and part of their victimhood is that they’re subjected to unwarranted law enforcement scrutiny. Attacks on innocent victims can be and are used to try to deflect attention away from the reality of jihad terror and to blunt law enforcement efforts to stop that jihad terror. Hate crimes against Muslims are used as weapons to intimidate people into thinking it wrong to oppose jihad terror, for it will lead to the victimization of innocent Muslims. And so when Muslims are killed for any reason, as in this heinous crime in North Carolina, these disingenuous opportunists run with “hate crime” claims, no matter how much they have to trim the facts to do so.

“UT-Arlington student admits making up claim that gunman followed her to campus, threatened her,” by Matt Peterson, Dallas Morning News, February 13, 2015 (thanks to Block Ness):

Update at 8:01 p.m.:

A UT-Arlington student who claimed she was threatened at gunpoint on campus this week admitted Friday that she’d lied, a university spokeswoman said.

The student told police she hadn’t even been at the school the day she said the incident occurred.

UT-Arlington had been investigating the complaint with Arlington, Denton and University of North Texas police, school spokeswoman Kristen Sullivan said.

Officials have not released the student’s name, and it was unclear Friday night whether she would be charged with filing a false police report.

The student could not be reached for comment.

University President Vistasp M. Karbhari said in a written statement that he appreciated the police efforts in the case.

“We take these issues very seriously,” he said. “The safety and security of all UT Arlington students, faculty and staff is our utmost concern.”

The university had issued an alert Friday that the student told police she had been followed six miles by a man in a pickup before she reached the campus. She had reported that when she parked at the university, the man threatened her and pointed a gun at her before he left.

The student also posted on social media that the man might have targeted her because she is Muslim. In a Facebook post, she referred to the killings of three Muslim students this week in Chapel Hill, N.C.

Chapel Hill police say a long-running parking dispute between neighbors motivated 46-year-old Craig Stephen Hicks to kill Deah Shaddy Barakat, 23; his wife, Yusor Mohammad Abu-Salha, 21; and her sister Razan Mohammad Abu-Salha, 19, at a condominium complex near the University of North Carolina campus.

A Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization has asked authorities to address speculation about possible religious bias in the Chapel Hill slayings.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Update at 4:23 p.m. by Julie Fancher: The student who reported being threatened at gunpoint by an unknown suspect on campus earlier this week admitted to police Friday that the incident did not happen, a UT Arlington spokesperson said.

University spokeswoman Kristin Sullivan said in a follow up interview with police, the student told police she had not been on campus that day and the confrontation did not happen.

UT Arlington police had been investigating the complaint along with the Arlington, Denton and University of North Texas police departments.

Original post by Mallory McDonald: A UT Arlington student reported being threatened at gunpoint by an unknown suspect on campus Wednesday morning.

The Muslim student told police she was followed by the man for six miles before reaching campus. The man who followed her was driving a white Ford pickup with a Texas flag on the antenna.

When the student parked her car about 9:15 a.m. in Lot 49 at South Cooper and West Mitchell streets, she said, the suspect got out of his truck, yelled a threat and pointed a gun at her. Afterward, the man left the scene.

The suspect was described as a white man in his mid-30s wearing a camouflage baseball cap, a short-sleeve blue shirt and bluejeans. He also wore a black bracelet and a wooden bead bracelet on one wrist.

The investigation is ongoing, and police are increasing patrols on campus….

    The police are obligated to charge her, just as the university is obligated to expel her.

      She should be given a one way ticket to any ISIS stronghold and offered up as a bride. I’m sure she’d make a perfect wife for any demon.

      Roy C–in your scorecard:

      It appears to me that you have left out the three New York police killed (1 in Queens, 2 in Brooklyn) by Muslims; the Fort Hood killings, and the Oklahoma beheading- that i can think of at the spur of the moment. I am sure that there were other killings in the US by these scum

  2. Oliver says

    Feb 14, 2015 at 1:56 pm

    As A NON LAW ENFORCEMENT PROFESSIONAL, i see two issues to start with. (Before the recant).

    UNLESS the man was next to (or very close to her) how would she see a black bracelet and a wooden bead bracelet on one wrist. From a distance?

    And how . long did this supposed confrontation take?

    Using the FBI training ( about 20+ years ago, I knew an FBI agent who told me that this is true)- sometime during training ( now these are the best — often attorneys or accountants, not college students) a person comes into a classroom, and takes something from a desk or table. And leaves.

    The “students” (FBI Agent trainees) are asked to write a description of the person, his approximate height, weight, (his being gender neutral) , how dressed and the object taken.

    (The entire exercise-IE the person coming in and taking something, or, on occasion, erasing something not being discussed at the time) is less then 30 seconds. )

    The purpose is, that eyewitnesses could make mistakes as to what they see, as most crimes are done quickly.

    So, how could she have been taken seriously?

    Feb 14, 2015 at 2:13 pm

    Besides the false police report she should be charged with trying to incite a riot, she knew the possible backlash of her statement. It don,t matter that a riot did not take place, it was her intent.

    “Let me see”, she says, with her muslim cohorts….”what would be a good *profile* of someone who doesn’t like muslims and might have a gun”?

    White. Male. Drives a pick-up…(known in Texas by some people who don’t drive pickup trucks as “pick-up people”) white in color. Texas flag flying. Wearing camouflage ball cap, blue jeans and bracelets. Two. One wooden, one black. Check. Do I need to say he has cowboy boots? No, not with a ball cap. OK. How old should he be? Not too old as we want him to hurry away. What say, about mid 30’s? Check. And he should yell a threat, point his gun and then leave quickly. Oh, yeah, short-sleeved blue shirt. Now, memorize.
    Most likely, this description came from composites of other UT at Arlington students or men she has seen around town.
    This is such nonsense. No true victim would have such a detailed description to give. And what was supposed to be the point, anyway? Points a gun and yells….what would that accomplish except to get him arrested should it be true.

    After having lived in that very part of Texas for many years, I know the male population there has better things to do. And, she should definitely be charged. Probably won’t be though because she’s muslim.

    • Kakodaemon says

      Feb 14, 2015 at 7:00 pm

      How did the muslima see that he was wearing blue jeans? Was she in an even bigger pick up truck and saw down into the man’s truck? Or maybe he mooned her too. Stupid.

      • Oliver says

        Feb 15, 2015 at 7:18 pm

        It mentions- towards the end- that he got out of his truck. But, see my earlier post- re FBI training exercise. (This is to Kakodaemon–his comment-how did she see his blue jeans.)

        Not criticizing- but might have missed that line

    • Kakodaemon says

      Feb 14, 2015 at 7:01 pm

      Yeah, this story stinks on ice. How did the muslima see that he was wearing blue jeans? Was she in an even bigger pick up truck and saw down into the man’s truck? Or maybe he stood up and mooned her too.

      Actually, I have been a witness in a couple of court cases, and the police commented that my ability to notice and ‘record’ details accurately was top notch. Some people can do that, and others can’t. But she was merely a liar, anyway.

      • somehistory says

        Feb 15, 2015 at 1:48 pm

        I too have been a witness in a criminal trial and have also studied criminal law, investigation, evidence, etc. One of the points made time and again is that *eyewitness* testimony is very unreliable unless the defendant is known to the witness. Very few people are capable of observing and recalling accurately. Anyone who can do so, as you said, will be commended by the investigators and prosecutors/attorneys.
        BTW; writers are some of the best because they are usually observing everything for their work. That is also why police are good at it. They learn to for their work. But victims are usually the average Jane or John and in a situation where someone is pointing a gun and threatening…and that person is a stranger…they are likely to be flawed in their description.
        Even if it had happened, she would not likely have been accurate in her description.

        She concocted a *profile* of a *good ol’ boy*….there are so many in Texas that could fit the description…and if called in for a line-up, there would be many from whom to choose. She could then say, “I’m not sure” or point at one and condemn the innocent.

        Justl glad that she has been found out as a liar…something muslims seem to be so well trained to do from early ages.

      I consider her false statement and actions as a hate crime and as such she should be prosecuted, she would demand as much if the situation was reversed. They are very good at tagiyya.

    Officials have not released the student’s name, and it was unclear Friday night whether she would be charged with filing a false police report.

    Why the hell would someone NOT be charged for lying about a crime? At the very least she should have to pay for the time and manpower invested in looking into what she said.

  9. JamesonRocks says

    The student should be:

    1. Expelled from the University for filing a false report and overt racism in choosing to identify her imaginary perp as white;
    2. Charged with filing a false police report; and
    3. Deported (if not a US Citizen) to the s**t-hole of origin.

    Interestingly, the author of “The Sociopath Next Door,” writes that the one consistent characteristic of sociopaths is that they will resort to an appeal for pity when backed into a corner. Naturally, they may also try many other tactics before the appeal for pity, but most non-sociopaths will not exhibit this behavior.

    It seems Islam has basically codified sociopathy down to even this detail: the appeal for pity. No need to wonder what the world would be like if populated by a sociopath majority: we’ve got real-life examples in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Yemen, Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, the ‘Occupied territories’, and on and on.

    This is precisely why Muslims do not deserve any special rights nor protection. They lie non-stop (they seem incapable of ever telling the truth), they murder non-Muslims every chance they get, and they hate anything non-Islamic.

    WHY are they in the United States if they hate us so much?

    • Richard James says

      Feb 15, 2015 at 7:38 am

      “WHY are they in the United States if they hate us so much?”

      Easy – so that they can take the USA over by Hijra as the did Yathrib/Medina. As they’re doing to the whole of Europe.

    Yet another fake hate crime.

    And notice this Muslimah’s description of this fake assailant: white, armed, wearing a camouflage baseball cap, and driving a pick-up truck with a Texas flag.

    In other words, a white, working-class sports fan who supports the military and is proud of being Texan.

    For most of us, this sounds pretty salt-of-the-earth—but for much of the university community, this pushes all their buttons, and such a description is meant to bring to mind a racist, “Islamophobic”, violent, ignorant, uneducated, armed redneck.

    These fake hate crimes have become the norm with victim-mongering Muslim supremacists. And how many of the public remember the accusation, and miss the retraction? Many, I would imagine, since these retractions are seldom carried on the front page.

    On the plus side, check out the comments left here:

    http://crimeblog.dallasnews.com/2015/02/muslim-student-at-ut-arlington-says-man-with-gun-followed-her-to-campus-threatened-her.html/

    Apart from one or two dhimmi tools, the vast majority of posters sound *very* savvy about the Jihad threat—and even about the phenomenon of fake Muslim hate crimes.

    Robert, this is a serious issue that I hope you stay on to expose. This individual cannot get away with such wanton desire to create division and I hope you continue to go after this issue and bring attention to it thus a false report/fraud charge is pushed on said issue. If this stuff is allowed it will continue and get worse.

  14. Judi says

    The bitch should be named and shamed, and at the very least charged with wasting police time and resources, and finally expelled!

  15. Chuck says

    Feb 15, 2015 at 1:05 pm

    With the number of worldwide incidents on the increase law enforcement needs to not just monitor and investigate such accusations but fully prosecute any false claims.

    As noted by others this could have started a major incident not just at the UT campus but have repercussions in many other places.

    There is also the great chance that those that saw the first report will never see this or others that refute the charges putting many innocents at risk.

    While those in Islam are here, there is a method of leading a Muslim to Jesus called the “Camelmethod” actually using the Qur’an. It can be found on line. The Field is white unto harvest. In this way by witnessing while here in the US they will not or less likely to be killed by their own people if they Receive Jesus as Lord, nor would the person sharing with the Muslim be harmed by other Muslims. Let’s take this opportunity.
