Returning home after prayers, a Muslim woman was attacked in the wee hours of the morning on Monday in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, FOX6 reported.

Speaking to the broadcaster on conditions of anonymity, the woman said a car pulled up beside her while she was walking home and a man exited the vehicle, asking her to come closer to him.

The man only wanted one thing from her: he ordered her to remove her hijab. “I tried to fight him. ‘Don’t take my hijab,’ you know? So he threw me on the floor then he beat me like an animal,” the woman said while describing the incident.

Successfully removing her scarf, the attacker threw her on the sidewall and repeatedly stomped on her head. Then he took out a knife to cut her jacket and arm, the victim added. All the while, he kept hurling abuses at her.

After the attack, she somehow managed to reach home where she got a seizure and was taken straight to hospital. She was released a day later.

The Islamic community of Milwaukee considers the attack a hate crime. Munjed Ahmad, an attorney and a member of the Islamic community, spoke to FOX6 about the community’s fears, adding that they were considering increasing security measures. “Certainly we’re scared for our community members. As an Islamic community, we want to make sure our community is always safe. The initial reaction is shock,” he said.

“Nothing was stolen. There was no robbery. Her valuables remain with her. The only motive we can think of — because everything stayed with her and this individual went straight for her scarf is a hate crime,” Ahmad added.

The local police told the news channel that the incident was under investigation but there is no suspect in custody at present.
Horrible for this to happen. Savage and disgusting behavior indeed.
 
True that and wrong must be called wrong without any difference. Also, what if currently media became more active to report such violence in view of anti-Trump campaign but whatsoever political point scoring is being started by the rivals, the fact is, such attacks are serious kind of issues that may lead to destructive part.

Such attacks are becoming a norm. White Americans are frustrated and angry. Trump gave them a voice and a platform during the election campaign. Today, the xenophobes are running amok. Every other day you hear and read such stories about people being beaten up and killed by some white angry person.

No doubt America has become an even more polarized place where hate is triumphing at the moment.
 
Another one of those stories where we all say: Thank God for Pakistan!

Pakistan is our Israel. For the Pakistani origin global diaspora it will always be our safety net.

Let's make Pakistan great again.

Agreed with you Clutch.

Where Muslims can be happy. Where no one can dare to utter a word against Muslims.

While such hate crimes have increased thankfully they are still far from the acceptable norm.
 
Yeah, Muslims , Black's , Native Americans and Latinos should leave America as none of these groups are safe there?
No, hate was always there in America and infact everywhere else too.
First it was after the native Americans, then came the turn of the black slaves, then Chinamen etc.. now it's time for the Muslims to be on the other end of the stick.
This is part of the evolution of mankind as an intelligent species.

Bogeymen make them grow Muslims are the new bogymen
 
Indeed this shouldn't be a problem, nobody can misidentify that person for a plausible terrorist. Again there are lots of White supremacists who harbors hatred towards Muslims. Not surprised it happened in US.
Wisconsin isn't exactly a minority friendly place
 
Americans are class-A savages, they are capable of much worse. Muslims need to take precautions. The brutal and sad reality is America hates Muslims. They elected an overtly Islamophobic savage because he didn't hide his hate like the rest of them and most Muslims also hate America for what it has done to Muslims killing them in millions particularly. The more America engages with Muslims the more hate increases on both sides. The best course is to gradually disengage and not invite them to destroy more countries in the Muslim lands. There seems to be this desire in America to keep Muslim world in chaos, it takes the side of one against another. What Muslims really need at this moment is a world power which would act as an honest mediator b/w them if they are not capable of solving their own problems they don't need an instigator and opportunist like America and their ilk.
 
A young Arab asks his father "What is this weird hat that we are wearing?"


"Why, it's a 'chechia' because in the desert it protects our heads from the sun," says the father.


Then asks the son "And what is this type of clothing that we are wearing?"


The father is Obliged to reply: "It's a 'djbellah' because in the desert it is very hot and it protects your body!"

The boy gets even more curious: "And what are these ugly shoes that we have on our feet?"

Again the father lovingly explains: "These are 'babouches,' which keep us from burning our feet when in the desert!"

Finally the son says, "Tell me Abba?"

"Yes my son?"

"Why the f*ck are we living in Detroit and still wearing all this shit?"
 
If the Same burqa clad Muslim woman had shot or knifed or run over the attacker in self defence, she would have been called terrorist.
