Carnita Matthews has a history of traffic offenses. [Daily Telegraph]

Sweden: A Muslim woman claims racist Swedes in the South Stockholm suburb of Farsta took off her hijab and hit her head against a car. Politicians are outraged, it gets its own hashtag and Swedish Islamophiles light up social media posting pictures of themselves wearing hijabs to show solidarity with Muslims. Then a Muslim eye-witness comes forward saying he saw the whole thing, and it was actually her own (Muslim) husband who beat her, and the idea that anybody could be attacked by native Swedes in Farsta is dubious anyway because there aren't any native Swedes left in Farsta.
