It could indeed. They could get mass-murdered at a party in San Bernardino. Or killed gratuitously on a military base in Chattanooga or Killeen, Texas. Or fired upon at an art exhibit in Garland, Texas. Or stabbed on a California college campus. Or blown up at the Boston Marathon. Or murdered by the thousands in office buildings in New York City.
If the incidents Milbank describes here really happened, they are reprehensible. No innocent person should be victimized, and the perpetrators are creeps and louts who deserve prosecution if they did anything illegal. But none of them rise to the level of jihad mass murder, and yet the Washington Post would never dream of running a piece entitled, “It could get a lot worse for non-Muslims in America.”
And in reality, FBI hate crime statistics show that hate crimes against Jews are far more common than hate crimes against Muslims, yet the Washington Post would never run a piece entitled, “It could get a lot worse for Jews in America.” This piece is yet another attempt to sell the Muslim victimhood myth, which is designed to portray Muslims as victims of unwarranted scrutiny and thereby end that scrutiny — which would have the effect of allowing jihad activity to advance unopposed and unimpeded.
The privileged status that victim groups enjoy in the U.S. today has made victimhood a big business. Accordingly, the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), designated a terror organization by the United Arab Emirates, and other Muslims have on many occasions not hesitated to stoop even to fabricating “hate crimes,” including attacks on mosques. A New Jersey Muslim was found guilty of murder that he tried to portray as an “Islamophobic” attack, and in 2014 in California, a Muslim was found guilty of killing his wife, after first blaming her murder on “Islamophobia.”
This kind of thing happens quite frequently. The New York Daily News reported just last week that “a woman who told cops she was called a terrorist and slashed on her cheek in lower Manhattan on Thursday later admitted she made up the story, police said early Friday. The woman, who wore a headscarf, told authorities a blade-wielding wacko sliced open her face as she left a Manhattan cosmetology school, police sources said.”
And several weeks ago in Britain, the murder of a popular imam was spread far and wide as another “Islamophobic hate crime” – until his killer also was found to be a Muslim.
The Mirror reported that the imam “was targeted because he had made efforts to turn youngsters away from radical Islam.”
According to The Detroit News, a Muslim woman, Saida Chatti, was “charged with making a false police report after she allegedly fabricated a plot to blow up Dearborn Fordson High School to retaliate against the November terrorist attacks in Paris….Police say Chatti called Dearborn investigators Nov. 19, six days after Islamic extremists killed 130 people in Paris.”
And similarly in Britain, a Muslim woman was “fined for lying to police about being attacked for wearing a hijab. The 18-year-old student, known only as Miss Choudhury, said she was violently shoved from behind and punched in the face by a man in Birmingham city centre 10 days after the atrocities in the French capital on November 13.”
In today’s politically correct environment, hate crimes are political capital. They foster the impression that resistance to Islamic terrorism equals hatred of Muslims, and results in the victimization of innocent people. Hamas-linked CAIR and other Islamic supremacist organizations want and need hate crimes against Muslims, because they’re the currency they use to buy power and influence in our victimhood-oriented society, and to deflect attention away from jihad terror and onto Muslims as putative victims. Want power and influence? Be a victim!
“‘It could get a lot worse for Muslims in America,’” by Dana Milbank, Washington Post, May 3, 2016:
My neighborhood of Chevy Chase is a leafy and peaceful slice of Northwest Washington. But this week, the news here is of a woman assaulted outside the local Starbucks by a Donald Trump supporter, she says — for the sin of being Muslim.
Police on Monday released surveillance video showing a heavyset white woman shouting at, and then pouring a bottle of liquid onto, a woman in a Muslim headscarf seated outside a Starbucks on a recent weeknight. Police are investigating a possible hate crime.
The victim said the attacker called her a “worthless piece of Muslim trash” and a “terrorist.” And the attacker said she was supporting Trump because he would send the Muslims “back to where you came from.”
“She mentioned this man’s name to me as a way of saying he’s going to put all of you out of this country,” the woman, who asked not to be identified, told me Tuesday.
But this is her country. She’s African American, born in Minneapolis, reared in Chicago and now living in the District — where, until now, she never thought she’d have a foul-smelling liquid poured on her for wearing a headscarf….

Jay Boo says
Expect the full range of political tricks now that Donald Trump has all but secured the Republican nomination.
Angemon says
Understandably, in the light of the history of muslims making up lies, I’ll believe it only when I see evidence.
DFD says
Evidence would be forged. Be 99.9999999∞% sure.
Polk1970 says
Or deliberately choreographed ,rehearsed,and filmed ,in front of the camera.
Mack Bolan says
Yes two Hillary supporters playing to the security camera.
I”I’m a Trump supporter you filthy piece of Muslim trash ,when he gets elected he’s going to send all you back here’s water in your face”. What a load of crap. The African American woman probably dressed up like a Muslim so they could stage . I hope they prosecute these little scams, because this is the sort of thing that will be going on all summer.
As to the matter of Hate crimes against Muslims , Reuters posted a headline that read ” Hate crimes against Muslims at an all time high after San Bernardino attack”. In the article it said that Islamic hate crimes were up 12% to almost a hundred last year. Lets see, a hundred out of I don’t know, several million. We all should be so lucky.
Given their proclivity to making up stories the amount is probably much less. Also hate crimes are anything from telling bad jokes in public , hurtful graffiti, to murder.
When is the last time anyone heard of a Muslim being arrested for insulting a non Muslim?
gravenimage says
Yeah, Angemon and DFD–somehow I doubt this “incident” was observed by anyone else or caught on camera…
But as usual, even their trumped up (pun intended) bs is so much less serious than what Muslims do to Infidels–even if this *had* happened, how would it compare to the Boston Marathon Bombings, Ft. Hood, San Bernadino, and 9/11?
TruthWFree says

Pamela Devins says
It’s Jews who are in the most danger here with Muslims and also gays! IN 11 muslim countries they want to throw gays off of roofs! Were sick of Islam!
Wellington says
“A lot worse for Muslims in America” essentially equals any criticism of them and their religion. Poor dears. I mean how terrible, far worse than infidels merely being killed or maimed.
My God, the self-absorption by Muslims is never ending. It’s ultimately all about them.
gravenimage says
So true, Wellington.
Mark Swan says
You Better Believe It
common sense says
Crafty….so a Muslim husband slices his wife’s face then tells her to report it as a random hate crime. So another injustice against a Muslim female goes potentially undocumented and they make American society take the blame. A steal and a slam dunk for Islam. They sink very low indeed.
Robert has outlined multiple examples here and more intellectual fire power for me when educating my fine liberal friends and family. Too bad they don’t want to hear it.

I’ve never understood black American’s obsession with Islam – a religious ideology that advocates slavery TODAY, and has arguably fostered the largest slave trading markets in world history.
Wellington says
Agreed. Just about the last people on earth who should be Muslim are blacks. Islam’s participation in black slavery is significantly worse than that of the Western world (and the Western world’s was bad enough), with respect to duration, sheer numbers, any initiative to end it, and the refusal to in any way apologize for it, something the Western world has done profusely.
All Muslims are confused human beings. Black Muslims are extra confused. And black female Muslims, considering Islam’s dismal record on women’s rights, belong in an extra special category of confused human beings.
Mark Swan says
Absolutely…Wellington
TheOldOligarch says
There is no ‘arguably’.

Me neither! And the Muslims are still keeping black slaves, in Africa! Legally… Well, there.

If you go to Wikipedia , you will learn that these slaves are sold from 25 euros to 138 euros depending on their ages and beauty .

I hope that it gets so bad for muslims in America – that they leave. All of them.
.
Further, I hope they take their lousy mosques with them.
David says
No. Once they have left, I would like to see all vacant mosque burned to the ground. Notice I said vacant.
I’m not like the savages who burn Christian s in their churches!
aDhimmiSaysWhat? says
Burning down mosques is a terrible idea. I think a better alternative is to keep them as is, BUT, transform them into nightclubs, strip clubs, and brothels. Turn them into houses of debauchery for all to enjoy!

Milbanks is a conman just like Obama and the Left.
Their lives and view of existence is built on a foundation of lies.
somehistory says
There are a large number of *overweight white women* in this country who are married to moslims. They dress normally until they get tied in with the devil worshippers and then start wearing the full slavery bags and scarves.
If just one of them was told by her moslim husband to play a part, it would look very much like a non-moslim was doing the deed.
I wouldn’t trust what was showing on the camera. It’s too convenient.
And not trusting moslims has become a habit with me I won’t break.
islam is a wild beast from satan the devil…the “father of lies.”

……………………..
Small point, somehistory, but the Hijab-wearing grievance-monger in this story is described as African American.
somehistory says
What you say is true, but my point came from this part:
“video showing a heavyset white woman shouting..then pouring a bottle of liquid onto, a woman in a Muslim headscarf”
If the two women got together, or were directed by their moslim husbands, both might be moslim, and the one *white* one is just pretending to be anti-moslim and the other *African* is pretending to be offended by the pouring of the liquid.
gravenimage says
That is quite true, somehistory. The idea that every altercation with a Muslim is perforce “Islamophobic” is absurd.
Then there is the phenomenon of incidents assumed to be “Islamophobic” where the assailant actually turns out to be Muslim themselves–this is *very* common.
“Perps of ‘far-right’ hit-and-run on Muslim woman in Molenbeek were Muslims”
https://www.jihadwatch.org/2016/04/perps-of-far-right-hit-and-run-on-muslim-woman-in-molenbeek-were-muslims
Then there are, as you note, cases where Muslims trump up “Islamophobic” incidents, like Muslims setting fires or leaving anti-Islam graffiti on Mosques:
“Houston: Man charged with setting mosque fire was devout Muslim regular attendee”
https://www.jihadwatch.org/2015/12/houston-man-charged-with-setting-mosque-fire-was-devout-muslim-regular-attendee
And then there is simply lying outright–if no one saw this incident, the Muslimah may just have spilled a cup of coffee on herself and decided this would be a great opportunity to claim a “hate crime”.
Expat88 says
That is so bogus. If things are getting “so bad” for Muslims then they wouldn’t continue moving here in droves. Stop moving here then if you think this is such an evil place. It will never happen, because they know that they can use our rule of law against us and just whine and complain whenever they don’t get what they want. They are fake victims.
Polk1970 says
They are both Supremicists and “vicims”

After Trump is elected the devotees of sharia law will change their war tactics from; outright terror attacks, attacks on free speech, trying to impose sharia law in towns, rioting against free speech and Jew and Israel on college campuses to…… A full blown Taqiyyah tactic. Taqiyyah is ”Denying their faith and sharia law to advance the cause of ”Eventually” imposing by force sharia upon the entire earth.
aDhimmiSaysWhat? says
I think you’re right Steve brown. It will be full-blown taqqiya-geddon!
Carolyne says
It is Hillary Clinton who attended a UN meeting in Istanbul, the subject of which was an international law banning criticism of Islam, not Mr. Trump. It is Hillary Clinton who, if elected, will pack the Supreme Court with leftists and you can say goodbye forever to the First and Second Amendments.
Dave says
There is a video and it supports the victims account, sometimes a compliant of a crime is accurate, sometimes its a lie and propaganda, this one seems true enough based on the video
R Cole says
How many times have Muslims out-of-the-blue made up stories about being attacked – and police and others go around blaming everyone on the so-called ‘right’ – only to end up being made complete fools of.
If it was a crime to yell obscenities – a lot of Leftwing Bernie Sanders’ supporters would be locked up. Burning and trampling on the US flag – jumping up and down on police cars. And saying the most hateful and offensive things to Trump rally goers faces’.
But where she pours water on her head – you can claim that is an assault.
gravenimage says
It looks like *something* happened. Whether this was staged or not is another question.
In any case, having a few drops of water spilled is not much of an “assault”. If this is straightforward, it is regrettable–and is, as shown by police involvement, a crime, albeit a very minor one.
It still utterly pales before the rape and murder Muslim inflict on their Infidel victims.
Mack Bolan says
Two points lead me to wonder if this wasn’t just to Hillary supporter making an anti Trump ad.
One the victim is an African American born in Minneapolis and reared in Chicago. Although there are exceptions, African American women in general are very outspoken and petulant . This white women would have not gone unchallenged, she probably would have been pulled down by her hair and beaten.
Two why didn’t she want to be Identified? Maybe she didn’t want someone with knowledge of her non Muslim real life to come forward with the truth.
Troybeam says
Hate crimes against Muslims: how many are self inflicted to make it appear Muslims are victims?
Islam is a pro at claiming to be a victim they’ve played the game to tee so much so that Non Muslims are beginning to question motives, here’s the why: Money, protection by the government, awareness and the list is long.
Freedom of speech catch 22, if anyone states a comment about Muslims its considered Islamphobia however when Islam makes comments and holds up cards that state “DEATH TO AMERICA” “BEHEAD THOSE THAT SLANDER THE PROPHET” IT IS CONSIDERED their right to free speech, this is happening all over the world in some nations you get an automatic death sentence carried out without a trial.
Wake up people, do not feel sorry for Islam as Islam will never ever take pity on the world, they will conquer it.
Northern Virginiastan says
So let me understand this. The Muslimah doesn’t disclose her name and doesn’t show her face. She doesn’t know there were any witnesses. Could this be yet another fake hate crime?
This article is a screed against Donald Trump. Here is the ending:
But the talk of Trump’s coming vengeance on Muslims scared her. “It could get a lot worse for Muslims in America,” she said. “For people here on the fence about who to vote for, maybe this will help them make that decision.”
So she was trying to score a political point.
And maybe the foul-smelling liquid was Starbucks! 🙂
