Muslim student cuts her own face with knife, tells cops it was a white man that called her a "fucking terrorist."

Sumaia Masoom say even though the girl made the story up of being slashed:

While lying to the police about being the victim of a hate crime is a definite no-no, the real concern may be that so many of us were not surprised to hear about it in the media. That, in itself, is indicative of something more.

Rather than condemning this as the turning point, and making it an issue of scrutinizing victims until we stop believing them, it’s imperative that we look into why we believed the fabrications in the first place. More importantly, what are their underlying causes?

Following her confession, she was taken to Bellevue Hospital for a psychiatric evaluation. This story as a whole should serve as a reminder that, regardless of this particular woman’s mental condition, there are people in our own community who do suffer from a variety of mental health issues. We need to address this.

Imagine that.
