And that’s not always a bad thing, since J.K. Rowling is renowned for being witty. But it does mean that ignorant idiots show up saying they’re better for some reason. On the plus side, it doesn’t take too long for Twitter to set them straight. This happened with one Michael Kane, a reporter.
He saw two women, dressed in hijab, walk out of Victoria’s Secret. And commented as such:
I’m just a reporter: saw two modestly-dressed women with religious headgear come out of Victoria’s Secret store in the Eaton Centre
I’m just a reporter: there’s no way he’s going to get out of it.

"My sources tell me that they may be heading to The Children's Place to purchase clothing known as "pajamas." A sleeper-cell, if you will."

Imagine when he finds out we do other stuff too.

Old guy watching women at a Victoria Secret worried about Muslim women. Fine upstanding stalker of the community

You seem confused. Muslim women wearing underwear of any kind IS NOT NEWS, is not making anyone uneasy. Your creepy as observations are.

This is such a weird thing to say. I don't even know where to begin. Creepy, sexist, possibly xenophobic… why would you tweet this? https://t.co/aR08XkR5lI

Aren't modest women allowed to indulge in sexy lingerie once in awhile or did I miss that memo 🤔

Of course. It says a lot about this guy that he thinks it's a scandal

He's got a bad case of "Islamaphobia", I guess. Poor thing.🙁

Are Muslim woman not supposed to wear underwear or something *flips open Quran* VS also sells 90,000 other things makeup, etc

Being hijabi doesn't mean we don't need supportive underclothes XD

This just in: women wear underwear regardless of religious beliefs. They may even wear body spray and clothes.

Boy, I would like SO MUCH to talk about this for a second. pic.twitter.com/iZhb0BmANN

Second, of course he's dogwhistling Muslim women. We all know exactly who he's talking about in this tweet. That's the point.

It's adjacent to the blatantly false faux-feminism that makes Muslim women targets of violence by racist white men. https://t.co/wxwPGpSB0Z
— Genevieve Valentine (@GLValentine) August 6, 2017
It's also a drop in the bucket of hyperscrutiny of Muslim folks as an acceptable, understood act. A deterrent, it's unsaid, to Bad Things.

I’m just a reporter: saw some guy getting told and I don’t think anyone is going to try something as dumb anytime soon.
