Kentucky government will host first "Muslim Day" at state capitol on January 22.

NTEB: Radical Terror-Supporting Group CAIR Will Be Holding Kentucky’s First-Ever ‘Muslim Day’ To Promote Islam On January 22 In State Capitol Rotunda.

Muslims from all over Kentucky will tour the building on January 22, meet with legislators, pray in the Rotunda, and receive training on how to advocate for issues affecting the Muslim community.

Waheeda Muhammad, chair of the Kentucky chapter of the Council on American Islamic Relations, said one of the goals of the event is to clear up misconceptions about the Islamic faith.

    “One thing that really helps is for people to know a Muslim one-on-one, and that’s part of encouraging Muslims to get out, to be involved in society, because if people know you personally, that’s their image of Islam,” Muhammad told WKU Public Radio.

She says the event will encourage Muslims to get involved in government, including running for office.

Muslim visitors also plan to advocate for certain legislation, including stronger anti-bullying laws.  The group has invited Governor Andy Beshear to meet with them.  Muhammad says Muslim Day at the State Capitol is not government-sanctioned and no taxpayer funds are being used.  She hopes it will become an annual event.

Kathy Zhu, stripped of Miss Michigan title for refusing to try on hijab and other politically incorrect reasons.

Kathy Zhu on Twitter:

MSN: U-M student Kathy Zhu stripped of Miss Michigan World America title.

Kathy Zhu, also a University of Michigan student, was dismissed as a Miss World America pageant participant when the organization claimed the content of her social media was "offensive, insensitive and inappropriate."
[.]
The first is an incident that dates back to 2018, in which Zhu went up to a Muslim Student Association booth celebrating World Hijab Day and declined to wear a hijab when prompted. She then tweeted:

    "There is a 'try a hijab on' booth at my college campus.

    So you're telling me that it's now just a fashion accessory and not a religious thing? Or are you just trying to get women used to being oppressed under Islam?"

Meanwhile, in Nigeria...school principal allegedly molests muslim students using (wearing) Hijab. "Gun-weilding security guards" bar parents from entering.

Unsure how to interpret the wording in this headline and story with their intent using the words "molests" and "molested". Nothing in the story suggests actual "molestation". The story states, "physical abuse" but doesn't define it. Rather than the literal interpretation of "molest", it doesn't appear to fall within the strict definition of inappropriate physical abuse or psychological trauma.

The Guardian: U.I. school principal allegedly molests muslim students using Hijab:

Some students of International School Ibadan (ISI) were yesterday molested and humiliated for adorning hijab (Muslim headscarf) with their school uniform.
  
The ISI Muslim Parents Forum, who bemoaned this act[.]

A parent, Idris Badaru, narrated his experience, “I took my children to school and parked under the shade beside Idia Hall at about 8.00 am and noticed a small crowd of students gathered about 80 metres or thereabout away from the school gate. My children promptly informed me that accounts was checking payment clearance before allowing them in.
  
“After checking my daughter’s clearance, the security man and Mr. Odewale of the Accounts section were issuing some instructions, which my daughter was not happy with. I moved closer and learnt that they wanted my daughter to remove her hijab before walking into the gate and she refused. I felt enraged as any reasonable man would when his daughter’s honour is violated. Moreover, that space belongs to the University of Ibadan, a Federal institution”.

This was corroborated by two other parents who said that the security personnel of UI under the leadership of the Chief Security officer, carried out the directives of the Principal and were physically assaulting Muslim girls adorning hijabs.  
  
“All efforts by the Muslim Parents Forum representatives to see the Principal or Vice Principal proved abortive as gun-wielding security operatives said they were under instructions not to allow any parent in. ["]
