“This place is not for Muslims”

“This place is not for Muslims”

An elderly British man verbally assaulted a Hijab-wearing Muslim woman, in a bus stop in London and shouted at her, "This place is not for Muslims."

A video clip circulated on Twitter showing that the old British man verbally attacked the Muslim woman, shouting at her, saying, "Go back to Saudi Arabia ... this place is not for Muslims."

He also said: 'I believe it is Saudi Arabia. If you contradict the government, they cut your head off. Would you like to live there, where they do that - cut your head off if you disagree with them?'

The woman asked the man to back off, which provoked his anger and he continued to attack her verbally, before the bus drivers intervened, asking him to keep away from her. The woman and her daughter started crying.

The elderly man, whose name has not been released, was filmed by the victim shouting Islamophobic terms after he saw that she was wearing a veil at a bus stop in Bexleyheath, southeast London.

When the woman tried to ignore him, he turned to the little girl and said to her: "Your mother is wrapped like a turkey."

The video clip shows several bus drivers talking to the angry old man, while he is screaming.

A second clip emerged showing the little girl sobbing while her mother hugs her and pleads with her to stop - while the abuser looks on remorseless.
