CAIR Offers Muslim Women Free Self-Defense Classes “To Protect Themselves” From Trump Supporters
This is absolutely ridiculous and a publicity stunt. There is no evidence whatsoever Muslim women are being targeted by the over 60 million who voted for Donald Trump.

Following a spike in anti-Islamic attacks during and since the 2016 election campaign, Muslim women will be offered a free self-defense class this week in College Park, Maryland.
The workshop on Wednesday is being provided by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the local Aqabah Karate Martial Arts Institute. It will offer tips to women and girls about how to “mentally, physically and spiritually prepare to defend against an attack,” according to a statement from CAIR. The event will also be live-streamed.
“Hate incidents targeting Muslims are occurring with alarming frequency,” said CAIR Maryland Outreach Manager Dr. Zainab Chaudry. “Learning basic self-defense techniques not only boosts self-confidence but is essential to personal safety and well-being.”
Hate crimes against Muslims in the United States have reached their highest level since the aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks, following a rise of 67 percent in 2015 from the previous year, according to FBI figures. And women wearing hijabs, the traditional veil, have been a particular target.
“What we have seen is women being targeted. So particularly head-scarf wearing women,” Corey Saylor, director of the department to monitor and combat Islamophobia, told International Business Times last month. “From all the case summaries that I’ve seen, that’s the main target of this backlash. Because they’re very visible. The head scarf tends to be what’s singled out in a lot of cases we’ve seen.”
Chaudry said that she is aware of four incidents of Muslim students having their headscarves grabbed on Maryland college campuses since the election.
