Muslim Transit Worker Attacked, Pushed Down Stairs in Latest Hate Crime
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

In New York City, a 45-year-old Muslim transit worker wearing a
headscarf was attacked Monday, pushed down the stairs at Grand Central
Terminal and called a "terrorist" in the latest of a series of hate
crimes against Muslims following the election of Donald Trump. On
Saturday in Brooklyn, another man violently threatened an off-duty
Muslim police officer, referring to her as ISIS and saying, "I will cut
your throat. Go back to your country."
