| Moved to Non-WoT: Lurid Crime Tales based on Ebbusogum Smith4370's link, which has photographs. It looks like setting women's clothes on fire is the new yoot amusement, replacing their previous game of suddenly pouncing on a passerby and beating him or her to a pulp... or until dead on occasion. I was apparently wrong about mental health issues as such. We now return you to the article. --trailing wife at 7:30 p.m. ET
Police were on the hunt Tuesday for a man who set fire to a veiled British woman’s clothing in Manhattan, as the American Moslem community says it faces growing Islamophobia ...the irrational fear that Moslems will act the way they usually do... The attack took place late Saturday in front of a luxury boutique on 5th Avenue in Midtown Manhattan. The British woman, age 35, said she was walking when she suddenly felt her shirt sleeve on fire. Police declined to provide further details on the attack, saying only that they were investigating a potential hate crime. On Monday, the police released images of the incident caught by surveillance cameras and asked the public to help find the suspect. The New York branch of the Council on American-Islamic Relations ... the Moslem Brüderbund's American arm ... , which is in touch with the victim and is providing legal help, said it could not confirm whether the suspect was motivated by anti-Moslem sentiment, though his victim was wearing a hijab at the time. "It’s another (piece of) evidence that Moslems are increasingly vulnerable in this hostile political climate," said Zainab Chaudry, a CAIR ...designated a terrorist group by the UAE... spokeswoman. "Even in places like New York City, one of the most diverse in the US, we are seeing a spike in anti-Moslem bigotry." In August, a holy man and his assistant were shot to death on the street near their mosque in the borough of Queens. An investigation into that incident has not yet established that it was Islamophobic. After that attack, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced that additional coppers would be deployed to secure mosques and the Moslem community. Authorities would not immediately confirm the identity of Saturday’s victim. The New York Post said she was a dentist from Glasgow, Scotland. | |

| #5 This sounds like someone with mental health issues. It will be if it turns out to be caused or imagined by Muslim. |

| #3 Could be a case of CAIR creating false incidents to yell "islamophobia." The religion of peace record. |
