An attack in broad daylight on a 16 year old girl that left her unconscious. The most likely reason she was attacked is because she is a Muslim.
Note: the original link to a media outlet for this story mentioned that the girl was wearing a head scarf and also mentioned her name. Without doubt, the girl was a Muslim. So, the story was removed because the link now shows an error.

Q: When the Soviets justified their intervention by asserting that they intended to fight against a secret involvement of the United States in Afghanistan, people didn't believe them. However, there was a hint of truth. You don't regret anything today?
A: Regret what? That secret operation was an excellent idea. It had the effect of drawing the Russians into the Afghan trap and you want me to regret it? The day that the Soviets officially crossed the border, I wrote to President Carter. We now have the opportunity of giving USSR it's Vietnam war. Indeed, for almost 10 years, Moscow had to carry on a war unsupportable by the government, a conflict that brought about the demoralization and finally the breakup of the Soviet empire.
