Back in November, a University of Michigan Muslim student reported that she was “accosted by a white man who told her to remove her hijab or he would set her ablaze with a cigarette lighter.”
So eager was she to be the face of an “Islamophobic” attack by a white supremacist that she invented the whole story about this “white man.” Yet rather than be held accountable, “the Washtenaw County Prosecutors Office is not proceeding with any legal action,” perhaps because they don’t want to appear “Islamophobic.”
At the time of her fabricated report, the university’s public safety and security division flew into emergency mode and rushed to “call the incident an act of ‘hate and intimidation’ and ‘ethnic intimidation'”.
CAIR’s national spokesman, Ibrahim Hooper, displayed his usual shameless audacity by defending her, stating that “the apparently false report shouldn’t be used to discredit” what he called the “many, many incidents of anti-Muslim hate.”
Neither police nor CAIR will release her name and “everyone involved in the investigation declined comment.”
“No Charges For Suspected Muslim Hate-Crime Hoaxer,” by David Krayden, The Daily Caller, February 14, 2017:
A Muslim student at the University of Michigan suspected of perpetrating a hate-crime hoax will not be charged. The Washtenaw County Prosecutors Office is not proceeding with any legal action — even though the Ann Arbor Police Department suspected the female student of fabricating the entire incident.
“This office has declined to authorize charges in that matter,” Chief Assistant Prosecutor Steven Hiller informed The College Fix via email. He further stated that his “office will not comment further on this case.”
The investigation began last November, when a female University of Michigan student reported being accosted by a white man who told her to remove her hijab or he would set her ablaze with a cigarette lighter. Police later said the accusation was false.
That didn’t prevent university’s pubic safety and security division from setting off alarm bells and calling the supposed incident an act of “hate and intimidation” and “ethnic intimidation.”
Just a month later, after Ann Arbor and university police conducted a joint investigation, the incident was deemed to be a fabrication. After carefully assessing witness testimony and available camera surveillance videos, the authorities found no evidence of an attack or threat.
According to the university police report: “During the course of the investigation, numerous inconsistencies in the statements provided by the alleged victim were identified. Following a thorough investigation, detectives have determined the incident in question did not occur. Police talked to businesses nearby and reviewed surveillance tapes in hopes of tracking down the suspect…no one witnessed the event, and the woman was never seen in any surveillance footage.”
The local Fox affiliate suggested, “The woman could be charged with filing a false police report. … The prosecutor’s office will be reviewing the case, which could include a felony charge because the crime she reported — ethnic intimidation — is a felony.”
Everyone involved in the investigation has declined comment. The election victory of President Donald Trump spawned numerous accounts of fake hate crimes….

Of course not. The U of M will probably award her a medal or something so as to encourage more of it. Of course if a Christian claimed of a real assault, that person would be ostracized by the University community for being Islamophobic and the police and prosecutor would give such a person the back of their collective hands.

Think of all the overtime pay received. She was their cash machine. No concern about public expense. We need a new change of public service.

Remember U Mich was Ground Zero in the nationwide legal fight for affirmative action in college admissions.
The leftists won before a compromised Supreme Court, but Michigan voters later passed an initiative banning discrimination in admission to public colleges.

Geographically, the U of Michigan is in the midst of an Islamic hotbed. What this student did only indicates that takiyya is in their DNA.

Prosecutorial discretion in action. He didn’t want to bring a charge in a case he would lose….since the moslim population would be the majority on the jury…and lost cases would endanger his reputation for reelection.
The police department should sue her for the money spent investigating her complaint.
quota raven says
To somehistory, who points out, “Prosecutorial discretion in action. He didn’t want to bring a charge in a case he would lose….since the moslim population would be the majority on the jury…and lost cases would endanger his reputation for reelection.”
This is a MOST important point, and one I’d not thought of. In the USA, where the muslim population is highly concentrated in cities like Detroit, Minneapolis, Los Angeles…juries will consist of MUSLIMS, and they will not find a muslim guilty!
This is a truly horrifying thought, a malevolent development in our justice system.
I wonder if there are any statistics about muslims convicting muslims when they are the sole makeup of the juries.
Mr/Ms History – your point is scary and well taken. Thanks for making it here, along with all your comments.
Cheers!

Things are bad in Michigan with Islam, somehistory and Quota, but not nearly as bad as you think.
The University of Michigan is in Ann Arbor, and the Muslim population there is 1.3%–higher, but not that much higher, than the national average of .85%
Getting a Muslim majority on a jury there would be a virtual impossibility–and this being the norm there is simply not the case.
I think this has more to do with giving Islam a pass–still terribly dangerous–than it does with not prosecuting the case because they could not win it. Incidentally, it is unlikely that such a case would go to jury trial, anyway–if it did go to court, this victim-mongering Muslim would probably just go before a judge.
quota raven says
Thanks, Gravenimage, for your response, in which you make some good points and projections.
Only thing I would add it: doesn’t even one muslim on the jury hold the potential to gum up the works?
You could say any juror holds that potential, and you would be right, but my sense is that a muslim might well use his role as juror to advance his own agenda, if it pertains.
Cheers!

Discretion on the part of the prosecutor is the reason the case is not going to trial. The pd investigate and give the evidence to the prosecutor. He then decides to go forward…based on probability of winning…or he drops it. He can take it up again and charge as long as it fits with the time frame, but once dropped, that is not likely.
He dropped it, not because he didn’t have a case, but because he didn’t think he could win. He may also have a heavy caseload and feels it is not important enough to pursue.
One jury member who refuses to convict is enough to gum the works and he wouldn’t be able to keep all of the moslims out of the jury pool.
Sooner or later, a moslim will be on a jury…sooner or later one will help a fellow moslim…no matter how guilty…to escape punishment.
When a case is tried and the jury is hung, it has to be a very serious crime for a prosecutor to try it a second time…or one that has gained so much attention that he feels he must go for a second trial.
The prosecutor has a lot of discretion and they exercise it, not just to benefit justice, but to benefit their career.
Custos Custodum says
He dropped it because he didn’t WANT to prosecute and incur the wrath of CAIR and other pro-sharia activists in Michigan.
After a month-long police investigation meticulously DISPROVED the “victim’s” allegations, the evidence would have been overwhelming.
somehistory says
A defendant is the one who chooses jury or judge in a criminal case. I don’t think a moslim would choose to have a bench trial unless he/she knew a moslim would be presiding. A moslm would likely want the chance of having a moslim on the jury…or more than one.
The defendant and lawyer appear before a judge for a hearing and can choose bench or jury for an actual trial.
RichardL says
maybe she said that she cannot guarantee that she won’t spontaneously combust while on campus if the charges were not dropped? Muslims are prone to explode, we all know that.
eagle says
It should be appropriate for the CAIR, ACLU and the Muslim Brotherhood to demand the student be charged with a hate crime??? Shouldn’t the law be the same for everyone? The dirt bags should be charged or do they get the Obama’s gold star award?
Carolyne says
The award. They get the award.
Kilfincelt says
As someone who lived in Ann Arbor on and off for 7 years and graduated from the U of M, I would have immediately thought her story suspicious. Ann Arbor is one of the most liberal towns in the U.S. Muslims there are treated with kid gloves by the university. Also, the university employs Juan Cole as a professor. He is an Islamic apologist and belongs to an Iranian group that is basically the voice of the Ayatollah in the U.S.
Further, because of the number of Muslims now living in Michigan, Ann Arbor has become a hotbed of groups who support Islamic causes. Free speech has ceased to exist where Islam is concerned. I have written to both the administration and my alumni magazine and explained about Islam but have never gotten very much back from them on the subject. I did get a copy of a speech given by the university president in which he stated that open debate was very important within an academic settings, but then he added that hate speech would not be tolerated. I explained to him that what some people see as hate speech may be truth to another and, in fact, may be the truth. I also told him that shutting down so-called hate speech was the reverse of supporting open dialogue. I was told that my response would be passed on to the president.
The halls of academia have become an echo chamber. Professors and administrators hear what they want to hear and dismiss anything or anyone who would contradict their point of view. Academics have lost their way and become illiberal and regressive. They have become fascists in their thinking and, in some cases, their actions; yet, they project their fascist tendencies on the opposition. Their reaction to Trump’s election is a case in point.
In a world willing to cease covering up the truth about Islam, this girl would have been charged. Not doing so is tandamount to acknowledging Islamic supremacy.

The school has a disciplinary code. Filing a false police report and lying about the details should be a violation. She should be subject to some disciplinary action.
Shmooviyet says
Should be, but will not.
If one belongs to this particular ‘victim’ group,
they are above the rest of society.The codes of acceptable behavior do not apply to them because of the daily victimization they face (and their belief that they must answer only to their own, superior code).
Remember the “many, many instances of anti-Muslim hate” Doug Hooper speaks of. The cases CAIR doesn’t bother to report to the media, for whatever reason…
Jerry says
This hate-crime faker won’t be charged, which is puzzling to me. What this muslims liar did is make a racial attack against us that is no less severe than if it had been true. And if it had been true and they caught the perp, you can bet they’d be hung from the highest tree of righteous indignation, not to mention jail too. But of course this is the double standard we must live with under islamic rule. Muslims are the victims even though we non-muslims are the ones getting raped, murdered, and persecuted. What an insane state of affairs, there’s so little hate and revenge toward muslims that they gotta make sh*t up. You can just feel the frowns of disappointment on the lip-smacking islamists when they find out it’s just another lie. Don’t worry, someone’s bound to draw a cartoon that offends. Then they can kill us with impunity. They always do.
Custos Custodum says
The police department could easily bring a CIVIL case against the faker, and would very likely win a bankruptcy-proof judgment.
They will not do so, of course, because any real action would give rise to wrath and intimidation by Muslim front groups.

The conversations, plans and policies of our elected leaders and appointed judges are all being tapped by the NSA, CIA.
It’s George Orwell’s nightmare come true. Great explanation here by a true patriot Larry Klayman who sued the NSA in 2013 and won for doing what they are doing right now against judge Robert’s ruling order. Whoever is behind this need to be arrested by the fbi and investigated. A special prosecutor and grand jury is in order.

For more fakery, check out this week’s Q & A program on ABC tv from Australia, for the clash between MP Jackie Lambie and Islamic activist Yassmin Abdel-Madied. The follow-up to all of this has the media in a frenzy. It was taqiyya in full flight.

Kasey,
I saw that clip.
The Muslimah states Islam is the most ‘feminist’ religion. Ha! Like where? Saudi Arabia, Iran, Aceh Indonesia, Pakistan, Afghanistan?
If Islam is so damn ‘feminist’, then why do these countries not make the hijab, and burka optional? How about not stoning women to death, and honor killing them?
How about going to these Islamic countries where they enforce Sharia Law, and informing them about how truly ‘feminist’ Islam is?
The Muslimah makes the same ol’, same ol’, tired comment about how Muslim women had so many more rights way before European women.
Geez…Guess she forgot about what century we are living in. I don’t see the oppressed European hordes running into all the Islamic dominated countries to find out how wonderful Shariah law is.
Ugh.
abad says
And Muslims continue to wonder why they are viewed with disdain by non-Muslims.
Muslims have done this completely to themselves, they have NO ONE to blame but themselves for all of the evils committed in this world in the name of Islam, the “Allahu Akhbar” screeching praises to Satan, the very deity they worship: The Father of the Lie.
In short, all Muslims share the collective guilt for the evils of Islam visited upon the human race since its inception – and their attempt to “cover up” their sins will not only get them excluded from Heaven, their inability to repent, but from the non-Muslim world.
We do not want them here in the United States.

What annoys me is that Ibrahim Hooper is a White man converted to Islam, yet he complains about racism!? Can a Black Atheist\Christian be a racist towards Hooper a White man? Hooper is a humiliation- he humiliates Christianity and the American society as well White folks who are well-intentioned. Please Mr. Hooper fight a substantive human cause-one where humans are degraded whether its’ in the USA or in the Dar-al Islam. FGM, honor killings etc. comes to mind!
