Default astagifurlah Pregnant US Muslim Woman Racially Harassed - 08-10-2005

astagifurlah im shocked

they harrased pregnant muslim woman these pigs

this is her photo

WASHINGTON, August 10, 2005 (IslamOnline.net) – A leading US Muslim civil liberties group called on US security agencies to investigate an assault against a pregnant Muslim woman by a group of men shouting anti-Muslim slogans.

“We believe these types of incidents are the direct result of the growing level of virulent anti-Muslim rhetoric Americans are exposed to on the Internet, in newspaper editorial pages and on radio talk shows,” said Ibrahim Hooper, director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) Communications.

Mary Anne Coldia, a 23-year-old Muslim woman who is 8 months pregnant, was attacked by three white men in a pick-up truck in Arlington, Va., Tuesday, August 9, while she was going for her morning walk, CAIR said in a statement, a copy of which was e-mailed to IslamOnline.net.

The three men began to scream anti-Muslim and racist slurs at the Muslim woman, who is of African origin.

“You terrorist b*tch, go back to your country. . .You n*gger b*tch.”

As the Muslim woman continued walking down the street, one of the men, who was wearing military-style clothing, jumped out of the truck, walking in front of her and pushed her around before getting back into the truck.

“You terrorist b*tch. . . We're going to kick your a*s. . . you're nothing,” the man shouted.

"The other two guys they were just laughing and screaming at the top of their lungs like it was a joke, and then they just sped off down the street," Coldia said.

Coldia, who was born in California and raised in Lowa, embraced Islam about five years ago.

Some 35 percent to 40 percent of US Muslims are African Americans, 25 percent are South Asians and 15 percent are Arabs, according to the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC).

"Hate-Crime"

The US Muslim advocacy group said the law enforcement should treat the assault against the Muslim woman as a hate-crime.

"Sometimes when local law enforcement authorities get these kinds of reports, they can fall through the cracks," Hooper said.

"It's treated as a simple assault or it's not viewed with the seriousness of a hate crime. We want to focus the attention of both the Arlington police and the FBI on this incident."

A recent report released by CAIR on May 11, showed that anti-Muslim hate-crimes, discrimination and harassment in the United States have increased by half over the past year.

A Washington, D.C. radio talk show host was recently suspended without pay for repeatedly claiming that “Islam is a terrorist organization,” Hooper said.

“Our nation's political and religious leaders must begin to challenge Islamophobic hate-mongers.”

The Muslim minority in the US came under scrutiny as never before after the September 11 attacks in 2001.

A May 2004 report released by the US Senate Office Of Research concluded that Arab Americans and the Muslim minority have taken the brunt of the Patriot Act and other federal powers applied in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks.

Amnesty International said that racial profiling by US law enforcement agencies had grown over the past years to cover one in nine Americans, mostly targeting Muslims.

CAIR is America’s largest Muslim civil liberties group, with 30 offices and
chapters nationwide and in Canada.

Subhannallah this is a world of transgression and is she married if so her husband should be with her no matter what and not divorce her, Allah is testing us to see how many of us are merciful and how many are transgressors for allah said "he who does not show mercy isnt shown mercy from the lord"

Subhanallah that's sad

please brother Sonz, make sure that you attack the situation and not the people, althought i know that it is very hard not to. I myself had to refrain from calling them virocious names.

Can you just imagine the pain.Ouch!!!.May Allah punish the pigs ( as sonz refered to them)that made this women go through that much pain.Only if they knew how painful it must have been.When they're losing a war they go around torturing civilians and when they're winning a war they think them selves self-sufficient.They say Islam oppresses women at least muslim men are not the ones going around beating on pregnant females.Ouch!!!sorry still imagining the pain ouch!!!...ouch!!!!....ouch!!! and for my last one ouch!!!

There was nothing wrong with saying Subhanallah in this context, it can be used in both situations.

Ok, but i have alwayes been under the impression that subhanallah meant thank allah. Thus, i was a little confused as to why the brother posted subhanallah. I thought astaghfirullah would have been more appropriate considering it is said when a negative action is done. Oh well.
