A Muslim student in Michigan claimed a man threatened to set her on fire. Police say it’s a hoax.

A University of Michigan student who told police that a stranger threatened to set her on fire if she didn’t remove her hijab could soon face a felony charge for false reporting.

Police say there is no evidence proving the student’s report to authorities in November, when she claimed that an intoxicated man threatened her outside the Ann Arbor campus. The investigation will be turned over to the Washtenaw County prosecutor’s office, which will decide if the student should be charged.

Lt. Matthew Lige, a detective with the Ann Arbor Police Department, told The Washington Post Wednesday that because the act of intimidation the student reported to police is considered a felony, she could be charged with a felony charge of filing a false report. Under Michigan law, that crime is punishable by up to four years in prison or a fine of not more than $2,000.

The student, whose name is not being released at this time, told police that a man in his 20s or 30s approached her between 5:30 and 7 p.m. on Nov. 11 and threatened to set her on fire with a lighter. She also said the man had an average height, an athletic build and an unkempt appearance.

After interviewing witnesses and reviewing surveillance videos, investigators with the Ann Arbor and University of Michigan police departments and the FBI found “numerous inconsistencies” with the student’s statements, according to a news release.

Wish The Washington Post would do a story about U of M Conservatives or even Liberal Jews on that and other local Campuses as to how they safe they feel, or how Conservatives/Libertarians can’t speak out about their Trump support or be destroyed and/or loose friends. I have heard the stories, one in particular would curl your hair. But the WaPo would never challenge their epistemology and have the cohones to do those tangent stories. I will not say more..

Eh?

What does God say about lying? Oh that’s right, this is Islam. Allah wants you to lie, steal and murder. Rape is also OK if you blame it on the victim.

One of my old taglines:

If false accusation wasn't a problem it wouldn't be listed in the 10 Commandments.

Liberals are so absolutely SURE that conservatives are hate-filled racists homophobes and Islamophobes that when no one actually does anything to them, they feel justified in creating fake hate crimes.

Until the DA’s stop playing patty cake with these Muzzie frauds it will continue to happen. Someone needs to grab a pair and prosecute to the fullest extent of the law. Then ......shazzam it will all go away.
