Following a disagreement on October 7, a Muslim student allegedly falsely claimed that her Jewish roommate had threatened her life. She will not be held accountable.

Isha Hussein, a student at the University of Washington, said that her roommate called her names that were offensive to Muslims and threatened to stab her while she was praying.

The roommate refuted the accusations, but she encountered animosity and was eventually forced to move out after being temporarily taken from her dorm.

After a witness refuted Hussein's story, a campus police investigation stated that it "could not establish probable cause."

In a viral post which garnered almost 44,000 likes, Hussein claimed her roommate had made racist remarks to her when they moved in together in September 2023.

'My roommate noticed I was a black Muslim and started making comments such as, 'My family and I don't like black people', 'That's why my religion is better than yours' and 'Muslims are suicide bombers',' she wrote in the post.

Their relationship came to a head around the time of the October 7 attack after the two clashed during a discussion about Israel's response, according to both parties.

During one exchange Hussein's roommate said to her that she would, 'pull a knife on her while praying [...] then grabbed a knife from the kitchen drawer', a campus police report states.

The report was filed on October 24 when officers were called to the dorm to reports of harassment.

Both students' names have been redacted, however the allegations match those made in Hussein's Instagram post.

At the time of the alleged knife incident, Hussein told campus police during an interview she did not want to assist with prosecution, but just wanted the incident to be documented, the report states.

She also complained to the university, who she accused of failing to take her concerns seriously in the Instagram post shared in February.

Her statement further alleged that one of her other roommates went on to assault her in November as the fallout continued.

'As a black Muslim woman, the University of Washington Housing and Food Services failed to protect me on the multiple occasions described,' Hussein wrote.

Her claims sparked a huge backlash, with a 'Justice for Isha Hussein' rally held by the Somali Student Association the following month.'
