Yesterday, a special occasion for my wife and I, with her completing her final exam in her medical science degree. We were super excited to make our way out of the university to go celebrate.
However, things took a sudden shift... for the worse. As we were quietly minding our own business, my wife sharing how she aced her exam, there was a lady staring at us … viciously... from a distance. 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. 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 keys my car, 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?”
I refused to just brush off the situation knowing that she may harm other people on campus who are identifiably Muslim. I only reacted after she was going to snap off my wipers (it was a rainy day!) I moved the abusive woman away from my wife until several witnesses assisted in the attempt to neutralize her till security came. My wife stopped recording to call security.
Here is the witnesses video (http://bit.ly/fb-islamophobia) To make matters worse, after her being forced away by Macquarie uni security (who did an excellent job), did we all suddenly realize she had an infant in the car! Her hate clearly held priority over her child. The abusive woman who, unfortunately, is a student at Macquarie University. I have complete trust that the university they will take the necessary measures to prevent this harm occurring to other students. 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 some media and some politicians. Dehumanizing Muslims. This is the problem. An unfavorable circumstance for my wife and I, However, I'm at least glad this happened to us as opposed to another innocent person who may not have been capable of defending themselves. https://www.facebook.com/ralamudi/videos/1387266157991305/
