> [@Skywatcher](#): > > I’m sure there are. As if reports of hoaxes mean the real thing never happens. This incident can still be blamed on anti-Muslim bigotry. "\*A spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, Ibrahim Hooper, said in an interview on Wednesday that Muslims in America were feeling “tremendous psychological stress and pressure” that can result in episodes like this one. “No one out of the blue decides to make this kind of report,” he said. “Whenever there are these rare instances of alleged false reports — it’s still an allegation at this point — it’s used by the growing Islamophobic community to delegitimize and undermine the many legitimate anti-Muslim incidents.”\* [http://mobile.nytimes.com/2016/12/14/nyregion/manhattan-yasmin-seweid-false-hate-crime.html](http://mobile.nytimes.com/2016/12/14/nyregion/manhattan-yasmin-seweid-false-hate-crime.html) ---

> [@Typo\_Negative](#): > > No, no…he has a point. If ONE story is false, then we can safely assume that ALL the stories are false and Democrats are poopyheads. Not true. One is an outlier. Now when two stories are confirmed false, then the Smurf hits the fan and every story will therefore be false. ---
