HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — A $5,000 reward is being offered to help catch the attacker who stabbed a Houston Muslim woman during a hate-filled attack.
According to the Houston chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-Houston), the 25-year-old victim, who is white and wears an Islamic head scarf (hijab), says she was driving home early Thursday morning from her job as a nurse when her vehicle was almost sideswiped by a red SUV in northwest Harris County.
When the victim pulled over and got out of her vehicle to check for damage after the near accident, the attacker made a U-turn and pulled up behind the victim’s vehicle.
The driver reportedly got out of his SUV and began shouting obscenities and racial and religious slurs such as, “Oh my God, it’s a r**head,” “It’s an f***ing r**head,” “sand n*****” and other derogatory terms.
She believes it was because she was wearing a hijab.
“She said a driver nearly sideswiped her,” said Sobia Siddiqui, with the Houston office of the Council on American Islamic Relations. “She thought it was road rage.”
The victim tried to get back in her vehicle, but the passenger side door was locked. At that point the attacker began waving a knife in the victim’s face and then hit her with its handle on her shoulder and arms.
A man who was riding in the alleged attacker’s SUV got out and tried to restrain him, but not before the woman was stabbed in the arm. The attacker’s passenger reportedly convinced him to get back in his SUV and they left the scene.
The victim returned to the hospital where she works to have her injury treated.
The alleged attacker and the man who was with him are described as white males, 20 to 35 years of age. The alleged attacker had tattoos on his arms and neck.
“We hope that anyone who has information about this potentially deadly and apparently bias-motivated attack will immediately contact law enforcement authorities,” said CAIR-Houston Executive Director Mustafaa Carroll.
Officials with the Harris County Sheriff’s Office are investigating the case.

The U.S. Just Quietly Deported The Largest Group Of Cambodians Ever
The group included refugees who had been in the U.S. for decades.
By Kimberly Yam
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement sent more than 40 Cambodians, many of whom were refugees, back to Cambodia this week.
They arrived in the Southeast Asian country on Thursday, and are the largest group ever to be deported from the U.S. to Cambodia. Asian-American civil rights groups fought several legal battles to keep the deportees in the U.S.
The U.S. government is expected to send a total of 200 people back to Cambodia this year, and activists are worried about what’s to come.
“It’s clear that this Administration will be ― and has been ― escalating its attacks on these communities,” said Katrina Dizon Mariategue, immigration policy manager of the nonprofit Southeast Asia Resource Action Center (SEARAC), in an email to HuffPost.
Fifty Cambodians who had received orders of removal were originally scheduled to be deported in December. But Cormac J. Carney, a district judge in California, blocked the move with a temporary restraining order. A month later, he granted an injunction, extending the stay of deportation until Feb. 5.

Racism gives cowards leave to kill whomever they wish and comrades who say nothing spur on evil. It will eat away the society that allows it.

This is absolutely outrageous 😡😡😡
Police need to find this POS thug. The racist bigots feel emboldened now. But Muslims need to realize they have a right to defend themselves like anyone else. Muslims do not have to apologize, or kiss a racist bigot’s ass. Stay vigilant, be ready, keep your eyes peeled.
Good Morning,Everyone 😄😄😄
