“Muslim lawmaker pushes ‘Islamophobia’ narrative, claims hijab pulled off student’s head — despite police noting false statements, no hate crime,” by Dave Urbanski, The Blaze, January 11, 2022:

Virginia Democratic Del. Ibraheem Samirah — a Muslim who made headlines in 2019 for protesting at President Donald Trump’s address in Jamestown — is in the news again.

Samirah sent a letter Monday to the Fairfax County School Board, opening the missive in this way: “Recently a Muslim student from Fairfax High School named Ms. Ekran Mohamed was viciously bullied by two other students who pulled her hijab off of her head. This horrific event … demonstrates that we need to take immediate action to prevent anti-Muslim bigotry and Islamophobia in our school systems.”

Problem is, police came to quite a different conclusion about last month’s incident:

City of Fairfax police said no hate crime happened and no racial comments were made. What’s more, the claim that the female student’s hijab was pulled off her head was not exactly true, either — police said she told them her hijab “became partially undone during the altercation, exposing her hair.”

Oh, and in addition, the female student told police that “information posted on several social media sites, stating that racial comments were used during the altercation, were false.”

Thing is, though, Samirah isn’t buying cops’ conclusions. He added in his letter to the school board that “eyewitnesses have verified that the individuals who assaulted Ms. Mohammed used Islamophobic slurs and drew anti-Muslim illustrations in addition to removing Ms. Mohammed’s hijab.”

With that he urged the school board to adopt “serious curriculum changes,” including the removal of “all Islamophobic content” — particularly surrounding the 9/11 attacks — and the institution of accurate Islam descriptions and the addition of lessons about the Islamic Golden Age. Samirah also wants accommodations for Muslim students’ food and prayer needs as well as cultural sensitivity training for teachers and administrators.

How did folks react to Samirah’s letter?
Samirah received quite a bit of backlash on Twitter for continuing to beat the “Islamophobia” drum despite the findings of law enforcement:

“You are a source of disinformation,” one commenter told him.
“The police and the girl herself say different you s**t stirring race baiter,” another user replied. “You and your faux victimhood are the problem here.”
“Look at you, a shameless race-hustler, vigorously stirring that race-baiting pot even AFTER it has been proven that she got into a fight, that SHE instigated, and then decided to play the victim and LIE,” another commenter said. “I wonder where she learned that from?”
Another user wrote “typical democRAT, lies and race hustling.”
