Two young Muslim women with a three-year-old boy are shown being subjected to Islamophobic abuse by a woman in a busy town centre.

The victims were apparently targeted for their religion by the aggressive stranger who calls them ‘terrorists’ in a foul-mouthed tirade.

A passer-by filmed the incident on a mobile phone as the woman yelled abuse at the trio in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, at around 11am on Friday.

The perpetrator leaned into their faces as she shouted insulting remarks about their faith, and only desisted when a passer-by intervened and street wardens turned up at the scene in the town centre.

Dina Singh, from Mansfield, told Metro.co.uk that she and her friend were walking through the shopping area when they were targeted for no other reason than being visibly Muslim.

 

The 26-year-old said: ‘I was walking through the market place on my own at first when this woman started throwing abuse at me.

‘She was saying: “Get away with that Allah”, “I’ve got my own laws”, “f**k off” and stuff like that.

‘I’m used to it, it doesn’t really bother me, so I just laughed and walked on.

‘I met a friend and we walked back round with her little boy and she started going at it again, getting worse.

‘I said, “What is your problem?” so she gets in my face, starts yelling at me, saying “my brother died in the war because of you lot” and “f**k your religion” and calling us terrorists.

The Muslim convert was wearing a jilbab – a long headscarf and outer garmet that goes to the waist – and her friend was in a hijab and Western clothing
