“Islamophobic hate crimes” are in reality so thin on the ground that those who profit from claiming that Muslims are the targets of widespread discrimination and harassment in the West have to invent them. 

And they’re so much a part of the Western media narrative that Ekram Mohamed could be absolutely certain that her story would be believed uncritically, as it was. The students walked out in solidarity, primed every day of their lives to be ready to protest “racism” wherever it is found. 

The whole thing, as is so often the case, was fake.

“USA: Police in Fairfax say Muslim girl’s allegations were false, no racial comments were made during fight between 2 students,” OpIndia, December 20, 2021:

On Saturday (December 18), the City of Fairfax Police Department in Virginia released a statement, debunking allegations of hate crime made by a female Muslim student.

In its statement, the cops informed that they were actively investigating a case of assault that took place on December 14 this year at the Fairfax High School. “The police investigation determined the physical altercation between two Fairfax High School students was not a hate crime. The investigation revealed there were no racial comments made by either student,” the cops emphasised.

“The female student confirmed her hijab became partially undone during the altercation, exposing her hair. The female student advised that the information posted on several social media sites, stating that racial comments were used during the altercation were false,” the police statement concluded.
