    Christianity... Religion of peace...

    A Muslim woman wearing traditional clothing was attacked in a possible hate crime over the weekend in New York City’s Midtown neighborhood.

    While standing outside of a boutique shop on Fifth Avenue, the 36-year-old woman, who remains unnamed as of this writing, had her blouse set on fire by an unknown assailant at approximately 9 PM on Saturday night, according to the New York Daily News. There was no verbal confrontation prior to the assault, and the woman’s attacker escaped before the victim could attempt to identify him or her.

    “[The attack is] symptomatic of the overall rise in Islamophobic sentiment in our society,” said Ibrahim Hooper, of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), stressing the importance of a complete investigation. “That’s based on the spike across the country in hate crimes and hate incidents, in recent days and over the past year,” he said.

    The attack is currently being investigated by the NYPD’s Hate Crimes Task Force, though the incident hasn’t yet been officially designated as a hate crime. This marks the second time in a week that a Muslim was attacked in New York in a potential hate crime. Last Thursday night, Albanian Emirjeta Xhelili attacked two Muslim women in Brooklyn, punching them and attempting to rip off their hijabs. Xhelili’s Facebook posts revealed her as not only anti-Muslim, but as a Donald Trump supporter.

    Over the weekend, the Florida mosque that Orlando nightclub shooter Omar Mateen attended was destroyed in a fire that is being investigated as arson. Hate crimes targeting Muslims have risen significantly since Donald Trump’s presidential campaign. AS US Uncut reported late last year, nearly 20 anti-Muslim hate crimes rocked the country in less than a week.

    Nothing. However, click counts and replies are pretty much guaranteed for this thread.

    Haven't terrorist events involving Muslims also increased since Trump announced his presidency?

    Good article. I like how they paint a picture of how bad it was and update her condition. Otherwise I would just assume some asshole caught her sleeve on fire with a lighter and ran away while she put it out with her other hand.

    A girl I liked in High School lit my mullet on fire. I grabbed her by the throat and pushed her up against a wall.

    We dated that whole school year.

    Ok, the mullet fire was literally 100 percent true. I did also push her up against a wall. However, where I ACCIDENTALLY grabbed her felt too squishy for me to date her.

    You know what I'm tired of?

    One white person does something bad = fuck white people!

    One cop does something bad = fuck all cops!

    One Muslim does something bad = fuck all Muslims!

    One Christian does something bad = fuck all Christians!

    Get over it people!

    There are about 197,870,516 white people in the US.

    There are about 1.1 million cops in the US.

    There are roughly 1.6 billion Muslims in the World.

    There are roughly 2.2 billion Christians in the World.

    Stop generalizing! For fucks sake. There are way more good people than bad. Way more good cops than bad cops. Way more good white people than bad white people. Way more good Muslims and Christians than bad. Stop looking at everything negatively. Stop lumping everyone together when you read something bad. Open your damn mind.

    Isn't it though? It's much easier to blame all your problems and hate on some ambiguous "them."

    I like to blame "people," because I find that "people" are shitty in general. Some of those "people" are Christians, some are Muslims, some are white, some are black, some are gay, some are straight, and some of them are alien robots with orange skin who were sent here to destroy the world. So I find it much easier to just hate everyone equally.

    What does this have to do with Donald Trump's campaign?

    Maybe they're on the rise due to the intolerance of some people due to the actions of others? Such as the San Bernardino shooting, the Orlando club shooting, Chattanooga, etc...?
