Police say a woman was in the library studying when they allege she was approached by an unknown woman who yelled profanities at her while throwing objects at her head.

They say the 25-year-old suspect then tried to remove the woman's hijab while pouring an unknown liquid onto it.

Police allege the suspect grabbed a lighter and attempted to set the hijab on fire but the woman screamed for help and security intervened.

"hijabs are oppressive let me liberate you with fire you'll thank me"

I believe this is the mindset of nearly everyone who publicly objects to hijabs as a tool of oppression in the context of Canadian culture. They don't give one fuck about the woman. In fact, they hate her.
