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.”
