ABC News Worries
Hate Hoaxes ‘Discredit’ Muslims
by John Binder 26 Dec 2016New Orleans, LA
Following a wave of hate crime hoaxes generally
reported to make President-Elect Donald Trump supporters look deplorable, ABC News is now highlighting the hardships of the fake
claims on Muslims.
In a piece
which states that hate hoaxes by Muslim-Americans “discredit”
Muslims altogether, ABC News interviewed Islamic followers to shed pity for the Muslim
community after a New York City Muslim woman hoaxed an attack by Trump
supporters:
After two reports of anti-Muslim hate crimes were
determined to be fake by authorities this month, the Muslim community is
concerned that these “few false reports” are going to “unfairly discredit and
delegitimize the dozens of real anti-Muslim hate crimes and instances
Islamophobia out there,” according to the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC).
“The way our community is treated in the media is
unfortunately very monolithic,” MPAC spokeswoman Rabiah Ahmed told ABC News
today. “When one person acts out — whether it’s making a false report or some
other type of bad behavior — it’s often looked upon as if the whole community
is responsible for it, and it’s saddening.”
In a New York City hate crime hoax, the Muslim woman
alleged that Trump supporters attacked her on the subway, calling her a
“terrorist” and blamed New Yorkers for not stepping in to help her.
A week after the incident was reported as fact by BuzzFeed and other mainstream media outlets, police
announced that the Muslim woman had fabricated the incident.
She was then pictured going into court on charges for
faking a police report with a shaved head and eyebrows sans hijab, a Muslim
headdress. Sources told the New
York Daily News that her parents shaved her head as punishment
and were similarly upset that she was dating a Christian.
In a similar incident, a Muslim woman in Louisiana hoaxed
a hate crime immediately following Trump’s victory against Hillary Clinton, as Breitbart Texas reported.
The woman was also charged with filing a fake police report.
ABC News’ piece focuses predominantly on the impact of
hoax hate crimes on Muslims, rather than Trump supporters who are primarily
blamed for the fake attacks:
Ibrahim Hooper, national communications director for
the Council
on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), told ABC News today that
he believes the false reports are “statistically inevitable when you have such
a large pool of reports.”
Hooper added that he was concerned about how such reports
are used against the Muslim-American community at large, which has been hurting
and experiencing tremendous levels of fear, especially after the presidential
election.
“These false reports unfortunately give ammunition to the
industry of Islamophobes who promote the demonization and dehumanization of
Islamic Muslims,” he said. “But one or two false reports should not take away
from the credibility of dozens of other real ones.”
The CAIR spokesperson goes on to tell ABC News that
Muslims hoaxing hate crimes are under “psychological stress” by the incoming
Trump administration and are developing “mental health issues,” which can lead
to hate crime fabrications.
The Muslim Public Affairs Council spokesperson gave ABC
News a similar explanation, blaming “societal pressures” on Muslims for the
hate crime hoaxes.
