Muslim woman in burqa attacks family with their American Flag
| Friday, 06.03.2016, 01:17 PM
ATLANTA - A family in Lawrenceville, a suburb of Atlanta, said they were attacked by an unknown Muslim woman wearing a full burqa simply because they were flying an American flag for Memorial Day.
Amina Ahra, 30, was arrested on two counts of simple battery after being accused of attacking a mother and daughter at their home.
Dami Arno told police she was in the garage talking with her daughter when Ahra emerged from the woods wearing a burqa, grabbed the flag from off the mailbox and charged at them.
Arno said she still cant believe it all happened on American soil.

This should not have happened. But I saw family spokeswoman. I guarantee she supports Trump.

Being a refugee is hard, but moving to a country you do not like makes it worse
