Muslim Woman Is Blamed For Terrorism By Anon Jerk At Sydney Train Station

We need one for terrorist attacks and incidences of Islamophobia, because although it’s a shitty thing many Muslims deal with on the daily, there’s a special spike after every terror attack that gains widespread media attention, e.g. the one in Brussels this week that claimed the lives of 31 people.

Over in the UK, a legit scumbag went up to a random Muslim woman on the street and “asked her to explain Brussels”. Thinking himself a Top Bloke who knows The Truth About Islam, he bragged about it on Twitter.

Yeah, nah. That one backfired like batshit and he had to delete his account. Surprise!

A little closer to home, and the same total BS is happening in Australia. Earlier today Sydney woman Mini Elali was approached by a random dude at Lidcombe train station and asked: “How are the terrorists?”

“I was shocked and replied, ‘What?’” Mini told PEDESTRIAN.TV. “And he repeated it and I said, ‘How would I know?’”

“Then he stood right next to me, just glaring at me. I took my phone from my bag and took a photo, hoping he wouldn’t notice.”

Mini says the bloke was just standing there and “muttering under his breath, he was staring at me, he had a very angry look on his face. I took the photo and got away from him. I walked down the other end of the platform.”

The good thing is that a schoolgirl who overheard the whole incident ran down the platform to apologise on this toerag’s behalf; the bad thing is that it happened in the first place, and isn’t exactly uncommon – just read through these incidences of harassment Mini tweeted out shortly after.

And forever I will say, these men ONLY ever “confront” Muslim women (who wear the scarf).

Cowardly and pathetic.

I have been physically attacked in Sydney & harassed and insulted. I personally don’t know any Muslim man who has been.

I was attacked in 2011. I was waiting for a bus. A white woman started harassing me. Ended w her calling me a Muslim slut & grabbing my face

And she called me a “c^nt” and a “whore” and spat at me. I was just waiting for the bus! And about 15 people watched. No one said a word.

And people always tell me to stop “complaining” about treatment of Muslim women in Australia. We are harassed and abused, you STFU.

Another time, I was waiting for a bus, a man drove past, saw me and cocked his hand like a gun & told me to “fuck off back to the desert”

Another time, the bus driver wouldn’t let me on the bus! He let my husband on, then shut the doors on me! My husband demanded he let me on.

Another time, bus driver saw me waving at him to stop. He looked at me, made a face & kept going. I complained to the bus company.

So this incident today is nothing new. This time I got a photo tho. I do not like the insinuation that I am a terrorist.

We asked Mini why she thought it was always Muslim women, rather than men, who are made to feel unsafe on the street thanks to their religion and a minuscule number of violent extremists.

“This man hasn’t committed an offence,” a police officer told her. “It is perhaps borderline bullying.”

The cop, himself a Lebanese Muslim, took her statement anyway.
