A Muslim mother and her 7-year-old child were attacked in Moncton, New Brunswick while enjoying a car parade until a group swarmed them, hurling racist slurs like “Go back to your country.”
BEYOND HORRlFIC.
A Muslim woman was attacked with a glass bottle.
Walking home from work through Glasgow city centre. Alone. Just past midnight.
Four men surrounded her. One smashed a bottle over her head.
They told her to take off her hijab. They called her a dirty P**i. They told her this was their country, and to go home.
She wears hijab. That's why she was a target.
There's a word for using violence to terrorise people for who they are.
They'll use it about us. They won't use it about this.
A taxi driver saw it. He shouted for someone to call 999. He pulled her into his car. She was shaking, saying "oh my god", in shock.
She went to hospital. She needed stitches.
Then Police Scotland gave their account.
A disturbance involving a group of youths. The youths had made off. No one required medical treatment.
They called them youths.
We call them men who terrorised a woman.
This isn't an isolated incident anymore. It's a pattern.
Last month in Edinburgh, five Muslim men were attacked with a machete after leaving prayers at Broomhouse Mosque. The man charged faces ten terrorism-linked offences. Every charge carries a terrorist connection.
This week on Renfield Street, a woman was struck with a bottle for wearing a hijab. And it became a disturbance.
Each incident gets reported as a standalone story. Local news. Move on.
But zoom out and the pattern is unmistakable.
And it falls hardest on women.
1 in 5 Muslim women have experienced a hate incident in the last year.
80% never report it.
Hate aimed at Muslim women is more likely to carry sexual aggression than hate aimed at men.
On our own platform, we documented 70 anti-Muslim incidents in May. In June: 105.
A 50% rise in a single month.
Still no COBRA meeting.
Still no renewed hate crime action plan. The last one expired in 2020.
Still the funding we were promised comes with strings. Criticise the government, and it can be pulled.
Homes. Families. Places of worship. Vehicles. All of it under attack, from every angle.
The bottle on Renfield Street wasn't thrown in a vacuum. It was thrown in an atmosphere where a woman in hijab is told, to her face, that this isn't her country.
Except it is her country. She's a British woman. Walking home from a British job. Attacked by men who've been told hatred is patriotism.
The footage went viral because a taxi driver filmed it. But how many attacks aren't filmed? How many women change their route home? How many take the hijab off rather than risk it?
Those are the victories they're really after.
It's the same hostility. It just changes address.
On the record, it's a disturbance. On the street, it's a bottle to a woman's skull.
A Muslim man stopped his car and pulled her to safety. His name is Zack Aziz. He's the hero of this story. They won't call him that either.
Four men terrorised a woman in Glasgow.
Police called it a disturbance.
No one, they said, required medical treatment.
She was in hospital getting stitches as they said it.

It is hard to put into words the extreme sadness, frustration, and anger so many of us are feeling with respect to an alleged group attack on a Muslim woman in front of her 7-year-old child and others in Moncton, New Brunswick.
While trying to enjoy a car parade inside a parking lot, the family were allegedly accosted by a group that yelled obscenities at them, including phrases like “Go back to your country."
Moments after, the group then allegedly beat the Muslim women in front of her son, while her husband was some distance away. He said he found her later on with a swollen face and bloody nose, along with other sign of an alleged assault.
This is a horrifying ordeal and the authorities have been alerted. We are in touch with all parties and urge authorities to investigate all angles of this incident, including hate motivations.
Meanwhile, we urge all elected officials in Atlantic Canada and beyond to denounce the rise in Islamophobia across Canada, and to meet with community members.
We will have more to say as the situation evolves.
Do not work with Jessica Misitano or Kate Loice Don’t book them on your shows or allow them to perform at your venues. They are deliberate liars who hate Muslims and lie and sabotage people’s careers using thier “connections.”

Abartısız söylüyoruz: Gazze’de kıyamet yaşanıyor.
Binlerce insan bir lokma yiyecek için birbirine sıkışıyor; tepelerinde kurşunlar, arkalarında tanklar…
Açlıktan daha acı olan tek şey, dünyanın bu vahşeti görmesi ve zamanla ona alışmasıdır.

Israel abducted a 20-year-old woman from her home in the occupied West Bank in the middle of the night on June 2.
Her name is Sama Safi.
She is not a combatant.
She is an American-Palestinian university student.
She has now been caged in an Israeli dungeon for 58 days — without charges, without reason.
And yet, the same voices that claim to care about human rights have nothing to say.
No outrage. No headlines. No urgent calls for her freedom.
Because Sama is Palestinian, her story is ignored.
لن يتخيّل أحد حجم الألم ..
هذه الطفلة لا تستطيع النوم، ولا حتى إغماض عينيها لثوانٍ من شدة الخوف .
كيف تُستخدم الأسلحة والصواريخ الأمريكية الإسرائيلية الفتّاكة ضد أطفالٍ أبرياء بهذه القسوة ؟
عالمٌ يرى كل هذا الألم وما زال صامتًا .
💔🥺A little girl martyred in Gaza…
She was born into the heart of war and left this world without ever knowing what it felt like to be safe.
She carried no weapon. She committed no crime.
All she wanted was to live.
What was her sin?
