A University of Michigan student who told police in November that a man threatened to set her hijab on fire could face charges after investigators discovered she fabricated the entire story, police announced Wednesday.

After the incident, the Michigan chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations called for the incident to be investigated as a hate crime, saying the “alleged attack is just the latest anti-Muslim incident reported since the election of Donald Trump as president.”The student made the report  during a post-election increase in reports of threats, intimidation and racially charged violence around the country.

there was an attack reported  a couple years back at Elmhurst College outside of Chicago........made the news for a couple days until no attackers appeared on the CCTV system. A Muslim student at Elmhurst College who claimed a masked gunman had pistol-whipped her after writing “Kill the Muslims” in a women's restroom, was arrested after a week-long investigation determined the incident never occurred. She was charged by Elmhurst police with making up the story. According to the Chicago Tribune, initially the United Church of Christ "called the incident a hate crime, hundreds of students rallied to show solidarity with their Muslim peers, who constitute about 25 of the school's 3,300 students. The college beefed up security, including foot and car patrols by Elmhurst police, and campus security offered to escort Muslim students around the campus." Only a week earlier there were anti-Islamic slurs and a swastika scrawled on her locker.  In hindsight, the probability of this locker vandalism being the work of an "Islamophobe" is very doubtful. Chicago Tribune 10/17/08  this offended me personally because I attended Elmhurst College for a year, good school, nice campus, they didn't deserve to be lied about.

The narrative is that we live in a violent, misogynistic, and racist country.  So, any story that aligns with that narrative will be embraced by the media.  We've also nurtured a massive SJW "victim culture", that desperately needs a persecutor.  They'll make up all sorts of injustices, and abuse, to gain status within their SJW culture, and further the narrative and identity politics.  

...it's pathetic.

Why, if these attacks are so wide spread, do they need to make them up?

It is almost like it is not happening.  But that couldn't be...

CAIR will try to twist it into the hate of Muslims made her feel like that was something that could happen and should be treated as a valid concern.
