You don’t pull off a Muslim’s headscarf, not unless you want to spend three years in jail…
A southwest suburban woman has been charged with a hate crime for an alleged attack on a Muslim woman at a grocery earlier this month.
Amal Abusumayah was paying for groceries at the Jewel store at 17117 S. Harlem Ave. in Tinley Park on Nov. 7 when she felt a sharp tug on her headscarf. When she looked at who had pulled her hijab, she saw a woman who moments before had made a derogatory comment about Islam.
On Wednesday, Tinley Park police announced that Valerie Kenney, 54, has been charged with a hate crime, a felony that carries a possible sentence of up to three years in prison and a fine of up to $25,000.
“I was shaken up,” Abusumayah told the SouthtownStar about the Nov. 7 assault. “This is my dignity and this is my religion.”
Ahmed Rehab of the Chicago chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations said his organization has reached out to the FBI to pursue federal charges.
Kenney is scheduled to appear in bond court in Bridgeview later Wednesday.
This is what happens when you allow open and avowed enemies into your country, they are granted special privileges above and beyond what normal citizens are allowed. In Britain Stone Age Savage Muslims threaten death in the street with impunity whereas if an actual citizen of the dying isle has the audacity to stand up to one of the members of the death cult they will be tossed in jail. We see a similar reality all over Europe and Scandanavia, Muslims get away with murder while the actual denizens of those nations get in trouble for trying to protect their very lives.
Of course in this story the perp was reacting to the Fort Hood shooting, noting rightly that “those people” were the cause of the problem and she will possibly get three years in jail for this? It is a world gone mad.
