Yeah, just a silly kid who had no idea what she was doing and just happened to blame a community who’s getting shit on all over Europe (probably because encouraging reactionary violence towards immigrants is so damn silly.)

It HAS to be a big deal, as her accusation was certainly a big deal, with repercussions. So the fact that it was all a lie is a huge deal. And that she blamed the migrants/dark skinned people shows she knew enough about current events to make it sound real. Pretty awful thing to do.

Yup. That she corrected her story isn't about to change the minds of anyone who's anti-immigrant/refugee, and it's just making it harder for actual rape victims to be believed. Obviously glad she wasn't raped, but fuck. Come on kid.

She understood enough to accuse the brown people.

PSA: Though it’s a very very small percentage of rape accusations that actually turn out to be false, if you ever make a false rape claim, you are a piece of shit.

What the hell makes someone decide this is an okay thing to do? I mean, yes, she’s 13 - but that makes it even sadder to me. The fact that a 13-year-old would be able to come up with a story about getting raped and kidnapped is just tragic. What a horrible situation for everyone involved.

Thank you! Maybe she should blame the war mongering members of her own damn party who are the real reason her son was there to begin with. *cough* Bush/ Cheney *cough cough*

They’re big on hair.

I am sure it was more than you have donated.

Nothing says “I’m a Christian” louder than nonsensical intolerance, leaving your family on Christmas, to commit law breaking assholery bordering on homicidal rage!

Requesting alternate screening isn’t “complaining about the process” - it should be the right of any traveler who is uncomfortable with machines that were rushed into airports with very little oversight. As to the argument that you’re exposed to “more radiation” on the plane: that’s true, but all radiation is not the…

That is so fucked up. The TSA, and the laws put in place that created that ineffectual waste of tax-dollars, are what “make the security line twice as long as it has to be and...the flying experience fucking miserable,” not the guy who’s a little upset that, on a stressful day of travel, he has to deal with pointless…

They didn’t just praise Ayaan Hirsi Ali. They followed it up with Irshaad Manji who, while at least Muslim, is widely disliked by mainstream Muslims as well. Both of them have made awful statements about Islam and Muslims, they intentionally conflate cultural practices (e.g. FGM, lack of education for women) with the…

political correctness has evolved to such an extreme that now we discredit people and their life experiences.

he doesn’t know a lot, period.

You know a lot of 13-year-old American Muslim girls who are doing that kinda thing?

Fucking racist teachers. God if I had a penny for every bigoted teacher I had to deal with going through the North Carolina public school system. Why even become a teacher if you know a good portion of your kids will be of the non white variety. And it pisses me off people like this are teaching kids and contributing…

The teacher said she knew her joke went too far,

You do realize that Qatar, despite having plenty of sexist laws, does provide education for women, right? In fact, there are twice as many women studying at the Qatari university as there are men. Nor have I heard that Ahmed’s sisters will be banned from applying to universities outside the country when they’re of…
