Safia Jilani Update: she is charged with fabricating a hate crime in
which a man hit her on the head and scrawled a hate message against
Muslims on a nearby bathroom mirror. The entire campus united behind
her; Muslim students were offered escorts to and from classes; and all
of Elmhurst College was afroth with righteous indignation against the
haters. The only problem is that it looks as if Safia Jilani made it
all up -- and now the poor thing is "in treatment." It wouldn't be
surprising if she suddenly came down with a mental illness, a la Aafia
Siddiqui.
"Muslim student pleads not guilty in reporting Elmhurst College
attack," from the Chicago Tribune, November 18 (thanks to Pamela):
A Muslim student who allegedly made a false claim that a masked
man attacked her after he wrote anti- Islamic slurs in a women's
restroom at Elmhurst College pleaded not guilty Monday to a charge of
disorderly conduct. Safia Jilani, 19, made no public comment.
Outside the DuPage County courtroom, her attorney, Terry Ekl, said
"she is in treatment, and I hope the public wouldn't judge her until
all the facts are known."
He declined to specify the type of treatment.
But I'm sure he'll think of something.
