American Muslim Convert Stabbed, Called ‘Terrorist Pig’

WASHINGTON, October 7 (IslamOnline.net & News Agencies) – In a new "Islamophobic attacks" – on the rise since the 9-11 attacks, a U.S. convert wearing hijab was stabbed in Virginia by a White male teenager shouting "you terrorist pig," before running away, said the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) Tuesday, October 7.

The 47-year-old convert was treated at a local hospital for a 2-3 inch deep wound on her lower back, and was released from hospital the same day, it added.

"Unfortunately, we are seeing a rise in Islamophobic attacks that parallels the ongoing right-wing campaign to demonize Muslims and Islam," said CAIR Executive Director Nihad Awad.

"This smear campaign is having an impact on those in our society vulnerable to the siren song of hatred and prejudice.

"As we have requested many times in the past, elected officials and other opinion leaders must speak out against this, and all other forms of religious intolerance," he stressed.

Lt. Butch Gamble of the Fairfax County Police Department told the Washington-based civil rights and advocacy group that the incident is being treated as an "apparent bias crime".

The Washington-based civil rights and advocacy group called on the FBI to investigate the attack as a possible hate crime.

The attack came amidst a massive surge of hate crimes and bigotry against Muslims and Arabs in the U.S. since the 9-11 attacks.

Since the beginning of the year, CAIR reported receiving several reports of physical assaults against American Muslims (or those perceived to be Muslim) and Islamic institutions.

Hate crimes against Arabs and Muslims in the U.S. increased to record levels, by 1,700% in 2001 according to crime statistics compiled by the FBI.

Those incidents included a recent arson attack on a Georgia mosque and the kidnapping and beating of a Massachusetts pizza delivery man whose attackers thought he was Muslim.

Similar incidents have been reported in a number of other states.

On September 30, an American was convicted of murdering a Sikh man in Arizona, whom he mistook for an Arab in revenge for the September 11 attacks.

Last month, CAIR demanded that federal terrorism charges be brought against
an Illinois man who got off with just two years probation and "anger
management" classes after he bombed a Muslim family's van.

In Florida, a man was sentenced to just 12 years in prison for plotting to attack some 50 Islamic institutions in that state.

Several representatives of Muslim advocacy groups said that Muslim Americans also stand up to a new wave of guilt-by-association schemes by federal law-enforcement agencies.

Prominent U.S. Muslim leader Abdul Rahman al-Amoudi was detained last week by federal authorities allegedly for making unauthorized trips to Libya and links to "terrorist groups".

Amoudi dismissed the charges as "politically motivated".
