You think you could have waited at least a week before talking about how “rare” anti-Muslim attacks are? I mean, the Portland thing just happened a couple of days ago. It’s still very much in the news cycle. I know the Doper conservatives are just chomping at the bit to make more librul tears, but this is a pretty stupid and unfunny way to do it. ---

The Portland stabbing deaths prove that, just like the Islamic terrorists nutjobs they hate, bigoted assholes on the political right are equally happy to target women and the young, and unarmed victims are even better. OP, your timing on this sucks. ---

The second one discussing an antisemetic threat does also detail an anti Islamic incident that was fabricated. The404 error article appears to be from 2011?

Not only are the Portland murders (thanks trump) still fresh, there was a recent incident where a teacher ripped off a Muslim girl’s hijab.

The OP and people like him want to stop caring about anti-Muslim crimes. It doesn’t fit their world view. So they love fake crimes because that’s gives them an excuse to ignore real crimes. Unless it’s James O’Keefe. When he commits a fake crime it proves that other crimes like it are real.
