Woman captured on camera abusing a Muslim student wearing a niqab: ‘Take it off, you terrorist’

A WOMAN has been caught on camera allegedly abusing a Muslim student wearing a niqab at a Sydney university, calling her a ‘Muslim terrorist’ and demanding she take off her veil.

Ramzy Alamudi posted the shocking video on Facebook, saying he was shocked by what happened about 1pm last Friday at Macquarie University, where his wife attends.

“As we entered the car, my wife (who wears an Islamic veil — niqab) decides to smile politely and wave innocently at the lady assuming everything was good ... This is where the entire situation just turned upside down,” Mr Alamudi wrote.

“The lady flips it and sticks her middle finger right at us! Me, being completely dumbfounded ‘Ah, is everything ok?!’. At this point, she blows up in a rage ... starts pointing at my wife and screaming ‘F**k you! Take it off!!’ (referring to my wife’s veil).

“She then runs towards our car and I urge my wife to lock her door and start recording if anything happens.

“The video will tell you the rest of the story … she pounds on my window and continues to hurl racial and discriminatory slurs at my wife. ‘Take it off! You Muslim terrorist! Who the f**k are you?’.”

Mr Alamudi then got out of the car after the woman grabbed the windscreen wipers of his car.

As he was trying to calm her down, she is seen to begin pushing him and a scuffle ensues.

A witness, Emily Grace Guff, also posted a video of the altercation, expressed her shock the woman was physically attacking the man who was trying to protect his wife.

“As myself and another bystander approach the two, we made the shocking discovery that this poor man was actually trying to fight off this woman from his wife, who was sitting inside their car behind him,” she posted, adding they heard the woman claiming she ‘didn’t feel safe’ around the covered Muslim woman.

“She was demanding this man show her some form of ID, calling out that she didn’t belong here, and that we shouldn’t let her walk around freely because we didn’t know what she could have hiding under her dress,” Ms Guff stated.

“It makes me feel sick to know we coexist in a world where this happens so frequently, people thinking they have the right to belittle someone else because of their race or religion — to see what absolute shit some people actually have to deal with.”

Security at the Ryde campus intervened and separated them.

The 35-year-old woman has since been charged with common assault and damage/destroy property.

She was given a field court attendance notice to appear at Burwood Local Court on March 13.

Mr Alamudi wanted to share the video “to identify racism/discrimination, not further it”.
“Unfortunately, this type of Islamophobia isn’t isolated to this one individual and incident.

Rather, it is an overarching systematic issue in our society that continues to be bred by the propaganda of the media and politicians. This is the problem,” Mr Alamudi said.

Jesus, awful woman.


What the hell was the lady even doing on the campus of the Univesrity? Was she staff? Or am I misreading that?

 

[Dalibor68]

Wasn't aware that driving with a niqab is allowed. Isn't it dangerous?

For reference, this is a niqab:

Also the racist woman is pathetic.

 

[Aphexian]

She (lady outside the car) would have been treated the same way had she been living in America during World War II. I wonder how she would like that?

 

[Abstrusity]

A properly worn niqab doesn't interrupt your sight lines, not even for periphery.

Lol

Her husband is driving, the wheel is on the right

 

[kmax]

Nice to see that she was arrested. Looks to me that she needs to cool off.

Seems she was a passenger since the other person had the steering wheel in front of them.

No. Why would a niqab be dangerous? lol

 

[NotSelf]

We live in an age where people fear garments.

 

[Dalibor68]

I see, should not be problematic then I suppose.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

"Take your clothes off, I want to see what you are hiding under there" sounds like a pick-up line from a character in a movie you are supposed to hate.

 

[Aphexian]

We live live in an age where people fear garments.

It's the 50's again, didn't you get the memo? Blacks and women are subjugated and if you dress differently you are breaking the status quo, are a menace and need to be dealt with.

 

[Messofanego]

I see, should not be problematic then I suppose.

Just putting this here so you know which veil is called which. You might have confused miqab for burka.

 

[chrislowe]

I thought niqabs were forbidden at campus.
Atleast it should be.

Otherwise I will pay someone to make my work and they can wear a niqab claiming to be me.

Do you put on eye and other kinds of makeup? Do you have the face of a woman? lol

lmao at this pearl clutching concern trolling.

 

[More Fun To Compute]

She (lady outside the car) would have been treated the same way had she been living in America during World War II. I wonder how she would like that?

You think that she is obviously Japanese?

 

[Dalibor68]

Nah I know what the niqab is, I just thought it would impair your periphery vision but appearantly it doesn't (also missed the part where shes not the actual driver because this is Australia and wheel on other side).

 

[Darkwater]

So the wife smiled while wearing a niqab? Seems it should say hijab, since you can only smile with your eyes in a niqab, according to the image above.

Also, this is obviously disgusting.

 

[chrislowe]

Trolling? Sometimes you need to identify yourself.
Or do they use fingerprints instead of showing their identity? Guess that can work.

So the smile was redundant?

 

[Audioboxer]

That woman's behaviour was outrageous. Deserves whatever disciplinary action comes her way, regardless of how oppressive the niqab is.

Also, you wonder if the guy meant to say hijab given that you can't exactly smile with a niqab on...

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

Not a fan of anything beyond the niqab or similar veils but as long as it's their choice to wear it, there's little one can do but hope this tradition will die out.

 

[Messofanego]

Nah I know what the niqab is, I just thought it would impair your periphery vision but appearantly it doesn't (also missed the part where shes not the actual driver because this is Australia and wheel on other side).

You don't physically turn your head to look from side to side at your mirrors? And a niqab doesn't mess up your periphery.

I'm not a fan of skinny jeans but I don't demand people take them off.

 

[Bishop89]

im guessing the asian lady is a student of the uni.

Hope she gets kicked out.

 

[Aphexian]

You think that she is obviously Japanese?

You think that anyone that even looked remotely Asian, despite not being Japanese, during WW2 post Pearl Harbor attack didn't get side eyed or harassed?

 

[Messofanego]

I thought you were joking at first but you're actually serious. You can easily tell a man wearing a niqab from a woman. Look, dude, you might hate the niqab but wanting a ban in a democracy with freedom of religion expression is not ok.

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

Well duh.

Just gonna remark that he or she never used a gendered pronoun

 

[ClosingADoor]

The couple handled it as well as they could and the woman is charged. Hope she gets fined and thrown off campus. You don't go around harassing and assaulting people like this, no matter your opinion on the niqab.

 

[dripdripsplash]

So the smile was redundant?

😂😂😂

 

[Dalibor68]

Look, dude, you might hate the niqab but wanting a ban in a democracy with freedom of religion expression is not ok.

It is actually as the discussion is already happening / it's already banned in plenty of countries and was confirmed to be okay by the ECHR. But that's not relevant to the topic and does in no way justify any of the shitty, bigoted behavior of the woman in the OP.

 

[Sqrt_minus_one]

Doesnt really impair ones vision or motor functions though, or do you mean for purposes of driver identification?

I am of the opinion it should not be allowed in certain places (banks/schools/government buildings - places a mask would be banned from really) but its not really anyones business if you choose to use one.

 

[The Bookerman]

I'm not for the niqab(I doubt any of us are) and think that shit is from a bygone era, but why the f* did that girl have to take it that far. Geez. She's that scared of a woman wearing a niqab?

 

[chrislowe]

Ok. Lets say I am the smartest girl alive and want to earn some cash.
I then tell these other girls that for a little amount I can make there grades go skyrocketing.
We all have niqabs and I can do all their work and no one will know.

I belief in religious expression but sometimes you need to identify yourself.

Yea, in those situations you would get checked by a female security staff.

Let's not get hyperbolic on this.

 

[Breads]

25% of the population are muslims.

100% of them are terrorists to some people. If you're afraid of Muslims and you don't live in contested lands then the statistics are not on your side. You're just a stupid fuck.

Please give us more idiotic hypotheticals!

Ban sunglasses, hats and costumes then? If you are required to identify yourself then you have to remove items that obscure identity surely.

 

[Johnny Cage In The Shower]

I've been to an African Safari where sometimes frantic monikes lose their shit , make loud screeches and stomp all over your car's hood and pull on your wipers and try to rip off your car's side mirror's. but even those excited monkies seemed a little more civilized than that crazy woman in the video.

The Fuck is wrong with people, the worst kind of animals.

 

[Fried Food]

Man I really hate to see minorities being horrible to other minorities. To be fair, that lady seemed legit crazy.

 

[DavidDesu]

Yeah don't read those comments... Urgh.

 

[Majine]

Yeah don't read those comments... Urgh.

That's a general rule.

Tell us how you really feel

 

[RMI]

Gross behavior.

Wtf is this shit.

 

[EdibleKnife]

Wtf is this shit.

A gross hypothetical to justify discrimination.

 

[RustyNails]

“As we entered the car, my wife (who wears an Islamic veil — niqab) decides to smile politely and wave innocently at the lady assuming everything was good

I mean that's nice and all but there was no way for the racist to see her smile.

??? People literally already pay other people to do their homework and write papers for them. It's been happening forever. Your weird ass hypothetical is no different a situation from that.

 

[erawsd]

Jesus, awful woman.


What the hell was the lady even doing on the campus of the Univesrity? Was she staff? Or am I misreading that?

She has a backpack so shes probably also a student.

 

[Hazaku]

Yeah don't read those comments... Urgh.

You should see some of the posts on the Facebook page of the university where the incident took place ...
