A2: Crime

By

The Michigan chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is reporting that a 16-year-old Muslim girl of Iraqi descent was attacked Tuesday by teens on a school bus in Ann Arbor, according to an article in the Detroit Free Press. The Free Press could not immediately confirm the attack with Ann Arbor police. The article quotes CAIR’s David Walid: “We’re extremely troubled. We’re asking state and federal authorities to investigate these assaults as hate crimes due to the racial slurs used and that her hijab was pulled off during the assaults.” [Source]
