Terror-Tied CAIR Uses Rumor To Threaten Teacher’s Livelihood

Almost exactly a year ago, a Muslim murdered French schoolteacher Samuel Paty after a toxic social media campaign.

Apparently it is only a matter of time before such an incident happens in this country.

Right now, Ibtihaj Muhammad is accusing elementary school teacher Tamar Howard of forcefully removing a second grader’s hijab. At this point, it is only a rumor on Ibithaj’s social media accounts. The Council on American-Islamic Relations is taking to the airwaves to demand the teacher’s firing, while the school is investigating.

“Racist teachers like this cannot be trusted around our children.” –

Predictably, CAIR is more concerned that non-Muslims have the proper respect for the hijab than they are about determining whether this incident really happened.

It is worth recalling another CAIR toxic media campaign from New Jersey. In August 2019, CAIR used phony email accounts to pressure Dan Leonard out of his position on the Toms River school board.

“School board members, and staff received terrorist threats … secretaries were inundated with vile language on the phone” –

Things got so out of hand that Leonard’s underage daughter was the target of rape threats. Despite this, CAIR did nothing to calm the situation. Because that was the intention from the beginning. They intended to intimidate the town of Toms River into punishing Dan Leonard. And if someone got raped along the way, well, that’s what you get for messing with Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib.

Unless something changes, it could be only a matter of time before the Council on American-Islamic Relations’ incendiary activity results in someone getting hurt very badly.

New Jersey teacher pulled hijab off second grader’s head, Olympic fencer Ibtihaj Muhammad alleges

The South Orange-Maplewood School District is investigating a claim that a teacher at Seth Boyden Elementary School in Maplewood removed the hijab of a second grade student, the district said in a statement.

The statement came after an Instagram post from Ibtihaj Muhammad, an Olympic bronze medalist in fencing in 2016 and the first Muslim American Olympian to compete for the U.S. in a hijab. In the post Muhammad, a Maplewood native, said the teacher “forcibly removed” the hijab in class.

“The young student resisted, by trying to hold onto her hijab, but the teacher pulled the hijab off, exposing her hair to the class,” Muhmmad said in the post.

Muhammad called the incident abuse and urged people to call the district and denounce the incident.

“By protecting Muslim girls who wear hijab, we are protecting the rights of all of us to have a choice in the way we dress,” she said.

The post had more than 36,000 likes and more 1,000 comments.

In its statement, the school district said it was investigating the matter after receiving a flood of social media posts….

The New Jersey chapter of the Council of American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-NJ) called for the firing of the teacher in a press release Friday.

“Anything less [than a firing] is an insult to the students and parents of Maplewood,” CAIR-NJ Executive Director Selaedin Maksut said in a statement. “Forcefully stripping off the religious head scarf of a Muslim girl is not only exceptionally disrespectful behavior, but also a humiliating and traumatic experience.”

The school district’s statement said that the teacher involved would be granted due process, and said that social media was not a “reliable forum” for due process.

“We remain committed to diversity, equity and inclusion throughout our schools including providing anti-bias and anti-racism training for all educators in the district on a regular basis,” the statement said.
