A Muslim student who claimed a masked gunman assaulted her after he wrote anti-Muslim aspersions in a women’s restroom at Elmhurst College has been arrested for filing a false police report:

[This follows] several weeks of tension on campus that began when some students allegedly called anti-Muslim slurs at students protesting the treatment of U.S. captives at the Guantanamo Bay prison camp. As officials at the private college affiliated with the United Church of Christ called the incident a hate crime, hundreds of students rallied to show solidarity with their Muslim peers, who constitute about 25 of the school’s 3,300 students. The college beefed up security, including foot and car patrols by Elmhurst police, and campus security offered to escort Muslim students around the campus.

The cauldron boileth over.
