By So we’re chilling, Amani and I.
It’s my first time in New York City, and I’m in love. The streets are beautiful, the people are friendly and the city is so alive.
We’re heading back to the Muslim Girl studio to meet with a few of the other writers, and we’re stopped on the street by a neo-Nazi looking type.
He looks at us and says, “ISIS?”
It took me a second to understand what he was saying. Not Amani though, she went in real quick.
She asked him if he was the KKK, if he was a colonizer, and if he was going to shoot up a school — and of course, he didn’t have an answer.
Racists aren’t known for their intelligence.
And it’s funny, because this man chose to harass us. Two defenseless girls walking down the street. He tried hella hard to make us feel intimidated.
For all you racists, don’t mess with Muslim Girl. For real. You will lose.
And when he realized that we were not the silent type, he scurried back into his store. Because in addition to being a racist misogynist, he was also a coward.
I had to laugh, because in this day and age how could he not realize what I was about to do next?
Whipped out my smart phone real quick and snapped some photos of his face and the business he was representing.
And of course he didn’t like that.
The best part is when he threatened to call the police — because this was a man who obviously realized the “oppressed little girls” he was trying to scare, could tear him apart with intelligence alone.
We’re not scared of you. If anything, we feel really bad for you. That you hate your pathetic existence that much, you’re desperate enough to seek validation by trying to scare others.
We are so sorry for you. I cannot imagine living such a miserable life, that I would think it’s acceptable to speak to someone like that.
And I mean hey, if he wants to call us ISIS, that’s cool. If you want to threaten us, and try and intimidate us, cool. If you are trying to improve your self confidence by harassing women, cool. But we are not the type to come for.
We’re writers. So we went home and did what we do. Amani wrote this Facebook status.
I wrote this article. And within 20 minutes of first posting on social media, the owners reached out to us and apologized and said they would fire the employee.
This is because we’re intelligent enough to know that racism is a flaw of the human condition. We know these people are real and will always exist. But what’s important is never letting them be in positions of power. Amani and I did what we did so that the next time someone like this man comes across another Muslim or marginalized person, they do not have the courage to try and further bully them.
I don’t care if you like me or not. I don’t care if you respect me or not. I don’t care if you’re a racist or not. But what I do care about is creating a society and a world where YOU are the problem and you are always reminded of it.
Also shout out to the owners of the Beer Boutique for firing this man within 20 minutes. We appreciate knowing that you had our backs.
But for all you racists, don’t mess with Muslim Girl. For real. You will lose.
I love it! This made my day.
i am a Muslim, and i am proud of it
now that is how you shut racists, mouth and is true racist they are every where so much amazing non Muslims i know why cant they be like that sad world glad you ladies put him on his place <3
So now this schmuck is out on the street. That’ll really help him to moderate his views about Muslims. “We’re not scared of you, we feel bad for you.” Not enough to spare him unemployment, apparently. Yeah, I don’t support him being rude. But in the end—what he did was obnoxious, what you did deprived a low-intelligence minimum wage employee of his job because you didn’t like what he had to say. “what’s important is never letting them be in positions of power.” He worked at Beer Boutique, ffs! Now you’ve given him a real reason to hate Muslims in general and you in particular.
That ignorant schmuck was wearing his work uniform. Every business owner has rules for how you allowed to act when you are in uniform. What that ignorant jerk did was brought on by his own actions. This type of behavior should not be forgiven and for you to argue that his hate for them will grow because of what happened by his own actions is not only ignorant but stupid as well…
How will his hate for them NOT grow after this? It’s ignorant and absurd to assert that this guy, who likely hated Muslims for hearsay reasons, will not grow to irreversibly despise them after losing his job. Yeah, he was out of line. But winning a battle over a low-wage earner of self evident low-intelligence is not a great victory. They responded to his insult with an insult of their own, and he retreated. Should’ve ended there. The guy was clearly cowed. Going after this bartender to fuck up his life the way they did was, while perfectly legal, also highly douchey and merciless, considering that even MuslimGirl recognized that he was a genuinely dimwitted person.
Ok again. He is responsible for losing his job, not those girls. He is the one who attacked them with his uniform on. No business owner wants to be associated with racism. What if he called a black person a “nigger”? Should he be forgiven then? Being dim witted is not the same as having a mental difficciency. Ignorance and mental retardation are two very different things. This man should look back at what he did and learn from it. He should think about how his behaviour reflects into real life. What’s douchy is attempting to find a justification for why he should hate more. He is an adult and adults pay for thier own actions. His white privilege wasn’t in his favour that day.
And I don’t know why my comment was deleted earlier…
because you’re a trash talk’in one way turn coat ?
“He is responsible for losing his job, not those girls.”
He is responsible for acting offensive. They’re responsible for going to his employer and getting him fired. Having seen this tactic used to try to silence others who are more influential (like Phil Mason, aka Thunderf00t, atheist anti-Muslim/anti- Feminist Pundit), I know it only succeeds in shutting up the weakest and most irrelevant offenders and it will affirm every negative thing they believed about Muslims. Trade an insult with another insult, yes. Go after his minimum-wage job so he’ll end up on street? Douchey.
“His white privilege wasn’t in his favour that day.”
-_- ffs, Ruby. He was a bartender. He lost his job in 20 minutes because a Muslim woman complained. Whatever the hell white privilege is supposed to be, he clearly didn’t have it, that day or any other.
“And I don’t know why my comment was deleted earlier…”
Poor sentence structure, faulty grammar, and we also took a few points off for spelling mistakes. 😉
Why don’t you understand the simple fact that he lost his job because of his own actions? I will end this conversation. I do not sympathize with racist people nor do I think it is the responsibility of the victim to hold the oppressors hand towards enlightenment. Ignorance and mental retardation are two different things. Good bye!
“Oppressor.” Lady, that’s a sharp word, and I don’t think you know what it means. Oppression is women not being able to drive in Saudi Arabia. Oppression is women being hung for defending themselves against rapists in Iran. Oppression is NOT some idiot bartender making a mean remark on the street. Yeah. Goodbye. Have a great day.
These women did not give him a reason to hate Muslims, he was already a bigot. He lost his job because of his own bad behavior, not because of them. I amazed that you’re dismissing hate speech as just him saying something they didn’t like .
So now someone calls someone else a name, once, and they deserve to lose their job? What happened to “sticks and stones” and all that? Just trying to make sure I understand.
If someone calls you ugly, and you are normally referred to as handsome, it’s trivial. If someone calls you a terrorist, and it happens over and over and over, you are perfectly right to take action against him.
What you need to understand is, all insults aimed at strangers passing by are intended to exert dominance or instill fear. That was his intent, he deserved what he got.
If my kids are being a-holes, I’m not going to go easy on them because “well, it’s only one time.”
This is an ADULT we’re talking about. He ought to know better. I don’t care what your stance is on Islam, Muslims, or anyone for that matter. As soon as you go out of your way to confront people in public, you are responsible for your words and actions. How do we even know this is the first time? What if he’s been harassing people in the streets for days, weeks, longer? Because there’s finally two who will stand up to him? Maybe they’re the first to stand up to him and now his reign of harassment is finally over.
We don’t know, do we?
It was quite a name though! Especially to call someone he didn’t know based on their dress sense and what he assumed about them from that. He was working in the service industry for the general public who pay his wages and that includes Muslims.
“Sticks and stones can break my bones but words can make me think I deserved it.”
– Randall Munroe
The idea that words can’t hurt us is a fucking joke that assholes tell themselves to minimize the harm that they do with their behavior.
I got called every name in the book growing up. If you’re so soft that you can be hurt by words, that’s YOUR problem. You should never, ever, care what others say about you. Ever.
It’s called being free.
I’m not dismissing it. I’m saying that they responded appropriately by snarking back with an insult of their own, but went too far in contacting his employer to put him on the street. And yeah, what is hate speech but mean-spirited words, all said and done? All I’m saying is that it should’ve stopped at words for all concerned. These women were being extremely vengeful over what amounted to stupid insults.
You are EXACTLY right, and it’s funny (ironic) that “hate speech” ONLY flows one way. But hey, give them credit our own American media taught them well.
They DID NOT contact his employer. They did not ask for him to be fired. All they did was make it public that he was harassing them.
They shared their experience on social media which they have the right to. It was the company that took the decision to get rid of the racist employee and they were free to decide on this.
We are supposed to care about his fragile little white feelings why? Pathetic.
It’s not his feelings, it’s his livelihood. He said something mean, they went to his employer and got him fired. It’s just a vindictive overreaction to his stupid behavior. And what the hell are little white feelings?
It was quite appropriate. You have every right to hate anyone you chose, you have no right to release your venom on anyone.
You need to learn about the subject of “little white feelings”.

“you have no right to release your venom on anyone”
Here, step back a minute. The guy made an a-hole remark. I’ve had people make a-hole remarks to me, but I didn’t feel the need to go after their employment and deprive them of their income. Because that’s what these girls did. It’s just vengeful. Over-the-top.
How many people have made the same a-hole remarks to you? How many about your religion or race or ethnicity?
If it happened to you day after day it’s no longer one Ahole, it’s an Ahole philosophy. It’s not just a remark it’s an attack. It is terrorism, deal with that.
They didn’t go to his employer; they’re writers and they wrote about it. The employer fired the employee who acted inappropriately on the job once they found out about it. I don’t know about you, but I can’t go to my job and act any way I feel like acting that day – there’s behavior that’s appropriate at work and behavior that isn’t. In this guy’s case, his behavior wouldn’t have been appropriate ANYwhere, but most especially when he’s representing the business he’s working for. Logic – get some.
Yup. Can confirm. I was, literally, threatened with a chainsaw by a coworker and was fired because I said the word “ass” in my response to him.
If I’m not allowed to say “ass” on the job while being threatened with a chainsaw then why the fuck should this asshole get to go up to random Muslim girls and spout hate speech on the job?
And NOT taking action just encourages him, and others, to do the same. There is no perfect solution, but change in behavior does not come unless bad behavior has consequences.
How about cutting him down with a retort, like they did initially? Respond to words with words. Again—I maintain that they went over the top. Heaven forbid someone ever takes offense to something you say, bob, and tracks down your place of employment trying to get you fired. Again. I’m not supporting what this guy said. He was rude and out of line. But I don’t believe in actually hurting people in the wallet because they said something mean. And yeah, I’ve been in situations where people were insulting and acting like a-holes—-everyone has at some point—but going after their employment for revenge never crossed my mind.
Since I’m retired that would be hard to do. However, if I did that on the job they would be well within their rights to get me fired.
Not just mean, but vicious and threatening. When he came out and threatened to call the police it was way over the top.
If you had to live with that day after day you would be singing another tune.
How many times have you heard the same insults from people you didn’t know but repeated insults that many others have said over and over.
If, on the job, you called a black man the N word would you expect to walk away unscathed?
They didn’t go out of their way to deprive him of employment. They didn’t contact the employer and demand he be fired. The employer took it upon themselves to fire him. They could have apologized and punished him in another way.
But sure, blame the people being harassed.
“She asked him if he was the KKK, if he was a colonizer, and if he was going to shoot up a school — and of course, he didn’t have an answer.”
Subahanallah! That is confidence, power, panache, preemption…all rolled into one. I never liked New York. Not much, the city. Known as an Evil City. Not too different form the Sin City Nevada. State up north is fine, better, spread out, scenic.
I recall running up the Empire State stairs once and there was this couple doing it at one of the turns, midway. Had to look away. Must be some kind of cultural ritual…
“I recall running up the Empire State stairs once and there was this couple doing it at one of the turns, midway. Had to look away. Must be some kind of cultural ritual…”
Nah… they were just being gross. I mean the amount of germs…. ew
He looks like a puppy, but a rabid one at that, which makes him dangerous.
“He looks like a puppy, but a rabid one at that, which makes him dangerous.
He does not look like a puppy. He does not look rabid. He does not look dangerous. He looks like a man suffering from want, barely making his rent.
These woman did not behave like Muslims. More like FemNazies Bia*ches gone bad. Rabid and on the lose, endangering all Muslim girls wearing hijab. And all that pancaked makeup is a mockery of the spirit of the hijab in any case. Who are they fooling, God? As it is hijab is not from Islam but Saudi Arabia.
Oh please so looking like a man suffering from trying to make ends meet gives him the right to attack women in the street? Mr. Fragile white man needs to put his man pants on and pay for his ignorance. He is the one that should’ve thought about his economic position before wearing his uniform and attempting to degrade these women. White privilege doesn’t really work so well in New York. We are smarter than than. Whether it’s calling a black person a “nigger” or attacking someone based on their religious background, it’s not tolerated here! He can join the KKK if that’s the lifestyle he wants.
“…gives him the right to attack women in the street?”
Don’t get so carried way. Look at the facts posted by the so called ‘victims’ themselves. A guy is cleaning the windows of the shop he works in. This is the lowest menial job possible. While working he glances over his shoulder and utters “ISIS”. How does that amount to an “attack”.
Attacking women on the street, really. I thinking taking photos of a private person doing nothing but doing his work looking harassed, oppressed, imposed upon…putting them on social media with a one sided story, now that is assault, battery,invasion of privacy. What if he was the one with the camera? What if he then gave the one sided social media story that these two hookers painted to the gills were accosting him. What then?
“Mr. Fragile white man needs to put his man pants on and pay for his ignorance.”
That is a bigoted racist sexist comment if there ever was one. And if he had a working unit in his pants the two would be hookers would be wet down to their knees. Crouch watching and man baiting appears to be their game.
Only when the man is not in firing stance can the FemNazi dare badger him. Muslim women never would. Haya comes in the way. Sluts – without shame, modesty, haya – always will.
” White privilege doesn’t really work so well in New York.”
There you go again with your racist bigotry.
“We are smarter…”
Women will never be smarter, never win, if they give up sophisticated weaponry evolution has gifted them and pickup the crude weapons of men, against men.
“Whether it’s calling a black person a “nigger”
Again: Another uncalled for racist injection that was not in the story. Proving that most likely you are not a Muslim.
“attacking someone based on their religious background”
Don’t make stuff up. No one was attacked for their religious background.
“it’s not tolerated here! He can join the KKK if that’s the lifestyle he wants.”
There you go again? A guy is cleaning his windows. Two women, made up like
hookers – you never know, its NY after all – accost him. He hurriedly packs his mops and squeegees and hurries back into his shop. But they just won’t let go.
If he was any other than the most decent man alive trying to scratch a living, he’d have pulled them in and banged them both, one at a time. Then kicked them out wanting more. Tamara style. Now that would be a proper KKK bang up job. Seems like you are in need of one too.
Thank God nothing happened. Its all an exaggerated hyped up story. Not true.
Now go relax. Don’t work yourself up about nothing. Storm in a teacup.
Now take it easy. Chill out. Relax.
They were attacked when he called them ISIS. I feel sorry for anyone that sympathizes with that man. He deserved to lose his job. He thought he could bully those two girls but at the end he paid for his own actions. Educate yourselves on Islam instead of watching FOX news and Trump embarrass himself every couple of hours. Education is key. And FYI I am Muslim. Take care. This conversation ends from my side.
Verbal communication is NOT AN ATTACK ! ! ! Your think’in is stink’in. The muslim girls “bullied” him, by using anti-social media to rape him of his job and income.
They shared their experience which he instigated. Verbal communication can be intimidating and threatening and he should have been more careful before opening his mouth to repeat a trope being promoted by the far right if he didnt want his bosses to get rid of him as they chose to in light of his decision to harass Muslim potential customers wearing their uniform and thus appearing to represent them.
Ruby in comment above, called it “an attack”. We have 1st amendment right in the USA, or at least we used to. A hack of a lawyer could get the guy his job back, not that minimum wage job is worth fighting for. Lastly, THEIR REPLY to him was MORE CAUSTIC than his “instigation” you refer to. This crap will stop.
They were NOT Muslim girls. Hijab does not make you a Muslim. Christians wear it too. A Muslim is recognized by behavior not so much by dress. A Muslim girl by her charm, modesty and haya is exemplary.
These were feminists feigning a penis, attacking one who actually had one but decided that the better part of valor demanded that he back away from the pseudos and did.
Remember when all is said and done the female of the species is deadlier than the male…especially when all dolled up, rolled, roused and riled on high like whores, needling and pursuing man as these obviously were.
Not Muslim behavior, sorry.
pardon me but if that niggas uniform is a lynrd skynrd t shirt then he was really just trying to fulfill his job duties.
contrarily, we are fooling ourselves by believing in god. i mean really don’t kid your self.
El Cid, do you always feel the right to insult others with grossly inaccurate statements.
Trolling will not make people like you, FYI.
I am really truly disgusted that this happened to you in my neighborhood! Glad that you were able to handle this bigot so well though.
Islam is not a race. It’s a stupid evil ideology. Incompatible with Western ideals. You only have to go to Islamic countries to see that, where you would be hardpressed to get your voices as Muslim “girls” heard by bigoted Muslim men.
exactly America allows them the privilege to feel so bold. If this happened in Crappy Muslim countries and I promise you these girls would be quiet as mouses and not feel so feminist.
I sympathise. But is firing someone really the way to go? How will he react? What will he do now? Will his bitterness towards Islam be diminished or increased. Maybe he has dependents who aren’t racist or Islamophobic – they will suffer nonetheless. Isn’t it better to educate, communicate, try to change minds by example?
Thats a question for the employers not his victims.
“Also shout out to the owners of the Beer Boutique for firing this man within 20 minutes. We appreciate knowing that you had our backs.”
I will not go with this. Getting a man fired for little to no reason, except to stroke your fragile ego and because you can, is counterproductive. Never hit a man in his bread basket. It is not wise to deprive a man of his earnings. It is the equivalent of snatching a child from its mother, if you but knew. She will never forget and never forgive.
What you have done, getting the better of a man, may wet the feminist but it is not Islamic. It is not how Muslims behave. It is from the feminists manifest but is not in the Qur’an. It displeases God. It activates Karma. Mark my words. Watch and wait as it balances the issue.
If you want to do exercise your feminist proclivities then do so without the hijab. Else, you arouse hate, focus anger and retaliation on innocent Muslim girls who also happen to wear the hijab. You have done more harm to them, to Islam and to Muslims with your feminist agenda and depraved action than you can imagine. But then stupidity has no imagination, no reprieve, no end.
You should go back apologize. State that going for his rent and food was not your objective. That an admonishment and reprimand would have been enough to serve the purpose. If you are Muslims and NOT feminists then you will have no problem going back and get him his job back. Not feminist that is the Muslim thing to do.
“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I’m not sure about the universe.”

Shut the fuck up.
“Shut the fuck up.”
Well, well, a true Muslim harks. Or is bark the right word to use for your kind.Taqiuyya much, Ali? Or Mutta your ploy, Slummy?
Your kind makes Muslims proud.
Have a nice day, Hindoo!
If he was an employee wearing attire identifying his employer and choose to engage in harassment of the public then not only was his employer within their right to dismiss him, but legally they would open the company up to legal responsibility if they did not fire him, whether or not he was on the clock at the time
Merely being associated with the employer, even if not in attire that identifies him as such, would be enough. He was on the job, and thus identified with the employer.
You are right, though, that off the job in company attire would also qualify. Or an identifiable company vehicle.
And now you betray your true colors.
Y’know what? I’m not Muslim, and I’m going to repeat what he said. SHUT THE FUCK UP.
Good point.
Well, that was stupid.
Do you really think a “admonishment” would have any effect at all?
As long as he works there he is a detriment to the business, and will continue to harass innocent people. I do not believe you have the right to try to force anyone to change his opinion, but you do have a right to force someone to change his behavior, if that behavior is harmful to others.
You correctly quote Islamic teachings, then apply them so very badly. Your enemy must stop being your enemy to warrant protection under the Quran, not just run and hide to await another opportunity to attack.
He got fired because he’s an ignorant racist. When you work for a business, and you’re actually on the clock, you represent the business. What you do outside of work is basically your own thing to do, but when you’re at work, you need to realize that this type of B.S. doesn’t belong there. He deserved to get fired. Maybe next time he’s at work, he’ll think about the appropriate way to act when he’s there.
He got himself fired you insufferable windbag.
Seriously, shut your mouth. When someone treats you like garbage you’re welcome to just sit back and take it but don’t lecture others that they’re obligated to do that same.
“The loser that tried to scare us. He’s just mad cause we’re cute.”
Don’t flatter yourself. You are pretentious, stupid and ugly. All that makeup, photoshop and air brushing not withstanding. And you endanger all hijab wearing Muslim girls.
Don’t flatter yourself. You are pretentious, stupid and useless.
And you endanger all hijab wearing Muslim girls.
I’m particularly sad that you have commenters that feel the need to insult your appearance, under the guise of being a better Muslim than you. Or argue the term ‘racist’. The headline says Islamophobe, which is all most people read anyway. In the end, there is one company that is better off for not employing a bad person. You had every right to get him fired — people get fired every day for less offensive and dangerous things. If he could get a job at the Beer Boutique, he’ll probably be able to get a job somewhere else, and make their organization a little worse in the process. If he had apologized, I might’ve reconsidered. But he continued to taunt you with a Islamophobic slur, even as you were taking pictures of him.
I love how your friend called him a “colonizer,” as if that was an insult? Islam colonized the entire middle east, north africa and India as part of a campaign of military conquest and occupation that none of the indigenous people there asked for.
Christianity did the same to the Americas, and much of Africa. Yet you didn’t mention that.
Are you really a Turk, or just assumed the title?
I think you are missing the point. Yes, western civilization colonized much of the world. The point is that it’s a silly, ahistorical insult that tries to make it a specifically western thing. The Chinese colonized Tibet and Asia. The Aztecs colonized much of central Mexico.
I am a Turk, and I realize that my nationality invaded and colonized all of modern day Turkey which was formerly Greek and Armenian. It’s just a silly way of pretending that Islam wasn’t and isn’t Imperialist.
Which is still offensive if presented alone, in this context it is an attack on Islam.
Pointing out that all religions did it at one time or another, as well as other “groups”, is more appropriate.
As I have been known to say, pretty much ever occupied square inch of this world was taken from someone who was there before whoever is there now.
Their retort was in the context of demonstrating by asking an equally ignorant question, the stupidity of being stopped and asked if they were members of Isis because of their Muslim appearance.. Its not something they would go about saying to people in the street under normal circumstances because most people don’t act so ignorantly while at work.
No, see “the point” was that a bigot hurled verbal abuse at two members of a vulnerable minority group and instead of letting themselves be victims they stood up for themselves.
That’s the point.
You were attempting to change the subject.
I love love love love this, this jst made my day, shout out to you guys, much love ❤️????
Feminism is not compatible with Islam, so stop pretending you can be both.
also Islam is non- compatible with intelligence, so stop pretending you can be both.
do you girl’s know who lynyrd skynard is? the dude really gave you the benefit of the doubt, his shirt may as well have said “i am indeed a proud misinformed american racist” frankly your actions make me lose faith that good Muslims exist. i mean perhaps you could have ignored the fool. i’m obviously unaware of how direct his encounter with you two was, but i would prefer if next time you ignored these types of remarks from dimwits like he and just continue walking, perhaps in a B line all the way to mecca for some reflection and to ask allah to give direction and hope to poor hateful fools. you have proven that as humans we all struggle with frustration and misguided feelings that manifest in our ego (i.e. god, allah, jah) you know like the way you lashed out extensively at this individual because you perceive your mind-set to be superior. and so in this case the demon who’m you also worship and had come to take your higher vibration level recieved precisely the affirmation that it was seeking. so i find my self in agreement with both Ali and El Cid, while would prefer the two of you join the moral majority against religion and racism,i understand how that may be unlikely, so in that case SHUT THE FUCK UP AND BE A TRUE MUSLIM GIRL!
I wonder who you think you’re fooling.
I see a lot of comments ranging from,”Their actions cost him his job,” and “you got him fired over this one time.” You are feeding into a very dangerous narrative that the oppressed are responsible for the oppressors well being. He took a risk going out their and harassing them and to take this kind of risk needed confidence that there would not be consequences so this was not his first time doing this.
Stop blaming the courageous girls.
if these girl are in-fact courageous maybe they could do this type of thing more often and in the name of humanity, NOT Islam. maybe if they had any courage at all they would crawl out from under the dome of the rock and denounce Islam. at least then we would have a better example of confidence leading consequence.
Maybe the real courage is in saying no to people like you.
You let your bigotry run wild.
Humanity is not under attack, Islam is. Decency is under attack by people like you who demand they solve the whole world’s problems as an excuse to attack a victim who fought back.
If you attack me I’ll do my best to take you down, but I won’t worry about doing it for all of humanity, just for myself. The benefit to humanity is just frosting on the cake.
Come to think of it, that’s what I’m doing now, taking you down, in this post, for the benefit of humanity. Wow, I can serve humanity just by making myself feel better.
Oh, and please denounce fundy Christians, since every bad thing you can attribute to Muslims is found in the Old Testament.
Fortunately, most Muslims don’t follow the Old Testament any better than most Christians do.
But, they were singled-out on the basis of pseudo-Islam. By the demonstration of his basic ignorance of true Islam and the expression of their devout faith through their adherence to traditional dress, he disparaged them by using the equivalent of a racial slur. Then he doubled and tripled down. Your comment shows you have no better understanding of the truth than that clod on the street.
Their “devout faith” would include calling him KKK a colonizer and asked if he was “going to shoot up a school” Yeah lady, base you comment on that kinda faith ? I don’t think so.
So… they get harassed by some random guy on the streets and because they reacted like normal people would they are the bad people in this situation? I have heard much more forceful and colorful language come out of a lot of Christian, Jewish, and Atheists mouths.
Well Keira you can’t have it both ways…………decide which it is, cause you can’t yell you are a victim, when you (in this case, they) are clearly the aggressor, delivering more venom than the “snake” started with. No, not “normal” people at all.
Your just wrong but that’s okay. Everyone is wrong about things from time to time. It’s interesting you have had so much to say about how they are not victims because they are not displaying the type of behavior you approve of for female victims. They are not meek or fragile. They fought back. You are pretty silent about the douche harassing them.
Wonder if you would feel this way if a Muslim man was harassing a white guy. Would you be as quick to anger if the white guy yelled obscenities back. Maybe even punched him in the face. Probably not. It fits your idea of what a (white) man should be. But wow, ‘can’t yell victim because you are delivering more venom then the “snake” started with.’
So, you don’t even consider him to be in the wrong at all. He is right because they are Muslim and they shouldn’t have had the audacity to walk down an American street. Let alone get upset when someone yells racial and islamophobic slurs at them. That is what you are saying in context. (Getting angry with them for the exact behavior the offender displayed; not once denouncing the behavior of the offender just them for retaliating; using quotation marks when identifying him as snake but none when using the snake imagery for the girls thus contextually saying that they are snakes not him; referring to the girls as ‘Not “normal” people’ when their actions are completely normal trying to make them even more ‘other’ ; just to name a few examples)
You’ll deny it of course. I mean who wants to be seen as a bigot.
Keira while you’ve had MUCH to say yourself, I NEVER said he didn’t have responsibility in the issue, but the conversation has been in THEIR defense, so no I didn’t crucify him, like YOU HAVE. So how about Keira ? The VERY thing you accuse me of, you are guilty of, where is your outrage at their actions ? No because they are MUSLIM, in YOUR mind, they can do no wrong. So girl you AND they possess wrong in the matter. AGAIN since you don’t listen, in America you can’t have it both ways. Your man, just left the White House, the preferential treatment went with him.
That’s the silliest comment I have ever heard. They were showing him how it felt to be judged based on stereotypes associated with how a person looks or dresses. We all know that stereotypes come from ignorance of what we don’t understand.
They got the guy fired, so their judging his “stereotype” had much bigger ramifications, but see it as you want, but check YOUR bias meter first.
Again, silliest comment ever! Admit it, you’re wrong on this one. Everyone knows you’re wrong, you can’t win, so, get over it!
Nope, and Susan there is only one “silliest” but your type likes to have it both ways…………kinda like the subjects of this article, but you can’t and they can’t.
Islam is NOT the problem – it’s the extremists that are the problem. Just like the Westboro “church” doesn’t represent Christianity, the terrorists don’t represent Islam. Go out, read a book about it, get educated, and THEN you can make some informed comments.
Exactly I like my job so I don’t rush outside my place of business to confront passersbys
Got him fired, now he has a reason to hate Muslims more.
It’s this kind of thinking that creates terror in the world. Two wrongs make a right.
Sometimes someone has to step up and be the bigger person.
If only we could lose our labels and stop believing in sky fairies what a nice place this would be to live.
He hated them to start with. Now he hates them and cant wear a uniform when stopping Muslims in the street to ask stupid insulting questions so he wont carry the authority of a company.
GREAT!BRAVE GIRLS
He was fired coz no one want to be associated with racism,Kudos to the employer!I always admire ladies in those secular countries but strictly adhere to Islamic dresses,its not easy,And flabbergasted with the local girls who try to expose themselves at their own will,while everybody expects them to dress up Islamically
Why were two Muslim girls at a place called the “Beer Boutique”? Islam forbids alcohol.
That Islam forbids alcohol is irrelevant but here, let me help you:
“…we’re stopped on the street by a neo-Nazi looking type.”
They weren’t AT the Beer Boutique, they were PASSING the beer boutique on their way back to the office.
Good on these women! To all the wah wah white babies moaning, “it’s not right you made a man lose work” you’re acting like fools who don’t get professionalism or how the service industry works. That fool was on the clock, at his workplace #1 that’s not how he should have been spending work time #2 As a service worker it was his job to create a courteous and welcoming environment to ALL as a place of public accommodation, if the owners didn’t uphold those standards they could lose business or get sued for discrimination. Y’all complaining they took action over “nothing” have obviously never been called a racial slur.Find a better use for your white tears!
Slayy girls!!
She seems to be naive of why the owner fire the guy who molested them.
In the next hour will come around some Muslims thugs and will set on fire the shop… so do not think that you are so smart… you are just back by a religion whose main aim is to kill infidels, and any opportunity is fine to act.
For Christ’s sake have you no sense of decency at all?
What? Do you mean why I am not an hypocrite?
