Reports of a Muslim woman in traditional Muslim attire being set on fire were met with justifiable shock and horror . . . and assumptions about the nature of the crime.
For example, The Guardian pondered the courage it takes "just going out" in traditional Islamic dress. They followed this up with dire warnings, including: "We are facing the most hostile environment since the immediate aftermath of 9/11. All Americans must speak out otherwise there will be worse to come."
CAIR-NY weighed in with its own condemnation based on the assumption that this was a hate crime.
