Woman attacks Muslims in California park after seeing them praying (xpost from GD)
http://www.arabamericannews.com/news/news/id_11501/Woman-attacks-Muslims-in-California-park-after-seeing-them-praying.htmlIt was supposed to be another normal Sunday at the park for Rasheed Albeshari and his friends, until they were attacked by a local woman because of their Islamic faith....
But around 4:00 p.m. on Sunday, December 6, they were attacked by a woman who appeared disgruntled after she witnessed Albeshari’s pals praying on grass.
Albeshari was waiting in the car for his three friends to finish their prayers when he seen a woman confront them. She had been walking on the sidewalk and appeared ruffled that the Muslim men were praying in the park.
“She was saying ‘Allah is Satan and you are all murderers,’ Albeshari recalled.
