CAIR Seeks Hate Crime Charges for Assault on Idaho Muslim
Man arrested for threatening woman, claiming concealed weapon

(WASHINGTON, D.C., 12/24/10) --- A prominent national Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization today called on state and federal law enforcement authorities to bring hate crime charges against an Idaho man who allegedly threatened a Muslim woman while she was shopping Wednesday at a Walmart in that state.

The Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) said the Twin Falls, Idaho, man allegedly approached the woman, who wore an Islamic headscarf and was with her two children, and asked if she was Muslim. When the woman said she is Muslim, the assailant reportedly told her he spent time in Iraq and "my friends were killed by you, I was blown up by you."

According to court records, the alleged assailant also shouted that the woman "didn't belong here in the U.S." and claimed he had killed Muslims and planned to kill more. He also reportedly told the Muslim woman that he had a concealed weapon. A loaded weapon was later found in the man's car.

The 42-year-old man was arraigned Thursday on a charge of felony malicious harassment.
