Viral Video: Sydney Train Passenger Defending Muslim Woman Against Racist Rant

[okaawhatever]

A commuter has been caught on camera defending a fellow passenger from a racist tirade on a train in Sydney, Australia.

In the shocking video, an elderly woman is seen asking a Muslim woman: “Why are you wearing it [a head scarf] for a man who married a six-year-old girl?”

Shocked, Stacy Eden jumped to the woman’s defense.

In the clip, Eden is heard telling the woman: “She wears it for herself, she wears it because she wants to be modest with her body okay? Not because of people like you who are going to sit there and disrespect her.”

The woman continues: “Read the newspapers, 148 Christians murdered in Kenya, they’re killing each other in Syria."

Eden responds: “That’s not her doing that, that’s a minority of people not a majority. Have some respect. What’s that got to do with her?”
