| Canadian Muslim Community Fears Actual Backlash After Hate-Crime Hoax |
| 2018-01-18 |
| Ah, the evergreen headline. I don't know about you, but it's long past time for a 'backlash' or two or three... [Zero Hedge] Canadian Muslims say they fear anti-Muslim hate over this week’s revelation that a young girl fabricated an internationally anti-Muslim hate crime story. Canadian police reported that Kwalah Noman, an 11-year-old Muslim girl from Toronto, fabricated her claims that a man repeatedly attacked her by trying to cut off her hijab in public, sparking concern among the Toronto Muslim community that outrage over the lie could lead to actual discrimination, according to CTV News. Sabrine Azraq, a member of the Canadian Council of Muslim Women (CCMW), urged people to argue against any anger over the lie. "This will probably be used as an opportunity to downplay all the times that Muslims come out and speak out against Islamophobia," Azraq told CTV News. For a woman, she's got some balls saying that. Amira Elghawaby, a human rights activist, said she also feared potential, legitimate backlash, adding that the Canadian Muslim community is filled with " a lot of anxiety" over the upcoming anniversary of the Jan. 29 Quebec City mosque massacre. Both Elghawaby and CCMW member Sabreena Ghaffar-Siddiqui pleaded with the public to take Noman’s age into consideration and refrain from targeting an 11-year-old girl. And why should Canadian citizens listen to this? She felt free to participate in a hoax. I'd give her 30 days in juvee 'youth center', her accomplices a lot more. |

| #5 The girl did not plan and carry this out on her own. Somewhere there is an adult of the Muslim persuasion lurking behind her. "30 days in juvee 'youth centre'" would not be near so instructive as 30 days, either on her own or in the company of Amira Elghawaby, in the tundra. |

| #1 If hoax crimes were prosecuted the same as the real crimes they emulate we'd see far, far, fewer hoax crimes. I also suspect the real number of serious hate crimes might be very close to zero. |
