Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Police: Muslim student at U of Michigan lied in claiming man threatened to light her on fire unless she removed hijab

Dec 21, 2016 2:28 pm By Robert Spencer

Hate crimes are political capital. When real ones don’t exist, they must be invented. Hamas-linked CAIR 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 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.”

We were told that a Muslim boy was attacked and beat up on his school bus in North Carolina — but a photo showed him without a scratch and no one on the bus corroborated his story. And recently 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.”

“U-M student’s claim of threat for wearing hijab is false, police say,” by John Counts, MLive, December 21, 2016:

ANN ARBOR, MI – Ann Arbor police say there is no evidence to support a Muslim University of Michigan student’s claim that a man threatened to light her on fire if she didn’t remove her hijab.

Now the woman, who isn’t being identified, could be charged with filing a false police report, according to police. Detective Lt. Matthew Lige said the final police report will be sent to the Washtenaw County Prosecutor’s Office for review early next week.

It would be up to the prosecutor’s office to authorize charges against the woman, which could include a felony charge because the crime she reported — ethnic intimidation — is a felony.

“Sending it to the prosecutor’s office is standard procedure when the investigation has revealed the incident as reported was false, and the person who reported knows it’s false,” Lige said on Wednesday, Dec. 21.

The woman told police that she was walking on East William Street near South State Street on Nov. 11 when she was approached by a white man who threatened to light her hijab on fire if she did not remove it, even going so far as displaying a lighter, according to police.

The woman told police that she removed her hijab and that the suspect fled on foot.

Detectives have determined the incident in question did not occur, Lige said.

The investigation — conducted by Ann Arbor police detectives in conjunction with officials from the University of Michigan Police Department and the FBI — included interviewing witnesses and viewing surveillance video from the location where the woman said the incident occurred.

There were no witnesses to the actual event as it was reported, Lige said. Investigators said the woman also doesn’t appear in any of the footage.

“Detectives reviewed hours of surveillance video,” Lige said. “We could not find her on any video. They just weren’t there.”…

    ”Now the woman, who isn’t being identified, could be charged with filing a false police report, according to police.”

    Good, but *why* isn’t she being identified ? She damn well should be, just as a woman who lies about being raped, should **also** be identified.

    Why is this bint being protected ? The one in New York wasn’t.

    • gravenimage says

      Dec 21, 2016 at 6:24 pm

      Exactly–expose her. My only guess as to why she hasn’t been is because she is a student. But if she is old enough to file false police reports, she is old enough to be named.

    By iDENTIFYING this fictitious brute as White, the Student has committed a ‘Hate Crime’.

      Agreed!
      On and on come the female victims of evil white men who demand the removal of the hijab. Then the story ends; the baddie just skedaddles…

      I’d never heard of “ethnic intimidation” before this article.

      • somehistory says

        Dec 21, 2016 at 3:52 pm

        I have never heard of it either. Must be a local law. But with the increase in *races* and *ethnicities* on the new census, likely many people will become *victims.*

    She lied about being threatened with fire. But her prophet Mohammed used fire to torture someone.

    “Kinana b. al-Rabi`, who had the custody of the treasure of B. al-Nadir, was brought to the apostle who asked him about it. He denied that he knew where it was. A Jew came to the apostle and said that he had seen Kinana going round a certain ruin every morning early. When the apostle said to Kinana, “Do you know that if we find you have it I shall kill you?” he said Yes. The apostle gave orders that the ruin was to be excavated and some of the treasure was found. When he asked him about the rest he refused to produce it, so the apostle gave orders to al-Zubayr b. al-`Awwam, “Torture him until you extract what he has,” so he kindled a fire with flint and steel on his chest until he was nearly dead. Then the apostle delivered him to Muhammad b. Maslama and he struck off his head, in revenge for his brother Mahmud. (Ibn Ishaq, Sirat Rasul Allah, translated as, The Life of Muhammad, (tr. A. Guillaume), Karachi: Oxford University Press, 1998, p. 515.)

  6. somehistory says

    Dec 21, 2016 at 3:43 pm

    Liar, liar, scarf and pants afire. It’s always the scarf…that just goes to show how important the thing is as a symbol of their superiority.

    And it’s always a white guy who demands the removal of the scarf or…else.

    But when the woman does what is demanded, the thug flees. Of what is he afraid? Or, did her ugliness of hair scare him…was it just too much to endure looking at it?

    Liars, all liars. They should be identified and charged for every lie and sentenced for every lie. They have learned lying from their father, the snake, the original serpent, devil and satan…and they have learned well from their lying demon father.

    • j_not_a says

      Dec 21, 2016 at 9:47 pm

      And what else is really aggravating also is the considerable waste of police time and public resources these brain dead lying idiots don’t seem to care about, actually it probably never even crosses their tiny little warped minds.

      • somehistory says

        Dec 21, 2016 at 9:56 pm

        That is one of the reasons that a person who files a fake report with the police is charged with a crime; so the police can collect on some of what they spent investigating. The person may have to perform community service, which is a pay back to the community that may have suffered while the investigation of the fake crime was ongoing.

  7. JawsV says

    Dec 21, 2016 at 3:43 pm

    When I first read about this I didn’t believe it for a second. Actually, I don’t believe anything a Muslim/a says due to “al-Taqiyya.”

  8. mike ryan says

    Dec 21, 2016 at 3:47 pm

    I recently saw something come along my Facebook thread: A Muslim woman in a Southern state had posted pictures of bullet holes in a car and in a window. She claimed her home had been shot at because she is “dark skinned” and a Muslimah. No record of any police report about this alleged incident. Many bleeding hearts with good intentions will jump to immediately believe these stories.

  9. davej says

    Dec 21, 2016 at 4:22 pm

    Boo hoo. She thought she was going to aid the Ummah and her fellow Islamic Invaders but in the end all these falsified reports just serve to lower the image of Islam and increase the distrust and skepticism felt by natives of the host country. Which will eventually lead to a wholesale rejection of their cult and the deportation of all it’s members.

    Just like the Shia/Sunni split, Muslims are truly their own worst enemies, which is a Good Thing. In their endorsement of deception they forget they are also fooling themselves. We are catching on to this, they never will.

  10. Angemon says

    Dec 21, 2016 at 4:22 pm

    Just another non-existent hate-crime being reported after the election of Trump, which was portrayed as undeniable evidence that Americans are racist bigots who are out to get anyone who is not a straight white male – isn’t it funny how when violent bigots and white supremacists are supposedly popping out from under every rock and more empowered and emboldened than ever, we see cries about s*** that didn’t happen after cries about s*** that didn’t happen?

  11. DFD says

    Dec 21, 2016 at 4:31 pm

    You’ll get more of that. You are in the early stages of the second phase of Jihad. Was the same here, in Europe. get ready.

    • gravenimage says

      Dec 21, 2016 at 7:45 pm

      Probably all too true, DFD. I just hope Trump ends–or at the very lest slows–the flood of Muslims into the US.

  12. Alarmed Pig Farmer says

    Dec 21, 2016 at 5:01 pm

    Detectives reviewed hours of surveillance video.

    The hours spent investigating fictive Islamophobia felonies is time not spent tracking innocent Moslems as they go about their daily business, any one ready to activate into committing real felonies… of the mass murder kind. Or the odd one off head severing, like what happened in Moore OK. Shame.

    • gravenimage says

      Dec 21, 2016 at 7:52 pm

      True–distracting the police from tracking real crimes–including violent Jihad.

  13. abad says

    Dec 21, 2016 at 6:08 pm

    Muslims are taught to lie – and they worship the Father of the Lie, Satan.

    Islam is the most amoral religion on the face of the earth. It truly is.

    Dec 21, 2016 at 6:09 pm

    Police: Muslim student at U of Michigan lied in claiming man threatened to light her on fire unless she removed hijab
    …………………..

    This is at least the third fake claim of an attack on a Hijab-wearing Muslim, the others being in Louisiana and New York City. There are probably many more.

    As the Jihad against us ramps up, so do the fake claims of Muslim victimhood. *Ugh*.

    • Wellington says

      Dec 21, 2016 at 8:28 pm

      Yes indeed, gravenimage. There is a direct proportionality between Muslim aggression (practically a redundant term here, no?) and fake claims by Muslims as victims.

      Super “ughness”——–and so fitting since Islam is steeped in repulsive aspects. An almost endless number it seems at times.

  15. Kay says

    Dec 21, 2016 at 8:13 pm

    This all seems designed to make hijab etc something decent people will defend at all costs, while ignoring the crimes done to women who refuse to wear it and even the psychology of having an extreme manner of dress imposed.
    But why do individual women make these false claims? Does someone pay them to do it? How do they come up with these schemes?

  16. Wellington says

    Dec 21, 2016 at 8:22 pm

    Another fakery by a Muslim. So fitting since Islam from its inception has been stepped in fakery.

  17. Phyllis says

    Dec 21, 2016 at 11:55 pm

    Two words…..prosecute and deport! Agressively.

  18. Carole Kotkiewicz says

    Dec 29, 2016 at 6:00 pm

    If the lie is repeated often enough, people will start thinking it’s true. That’s why they keep repeating it.
