[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele]This Facebook post describes and has a video of a woman who verbally harassed a Muslim woman at the Trader Joe's in Reston:

According to the Facebook post, the Muslim woman let another woman cut in front of her in the check out line. The woman began bad mouthing another Muslim woman in the store. The woman then began harassing the first Muslim woman (the one who had let her cut in line). At this point, the Muslim woman began recording the incident. The harasser says, "I wish they didn't let you in the country." The Muslim woman replies by clarifying that she had been born here. The harasser than says that Obama is no longer president and there is not a Muslim in the White House anymore.

Pretty outrageous way to treat someone who has just done you a favor.

Caveat emptor: while much of this interaction is on video, [b]we don't see the entire incident and every story has two sides. [/b]If anyone wants to find a way to excuse what is recorded, be my guest.

I would say the bolded is important to me. I want the entire story. I live in the area and I've gone into the local Costco (no longer do) and leave your cart for a moment to, say, walk 10 feet away to get something, Muslim women have actually shopped out of my cart. When I say, 'excuse me, that's mine', they laugh and walk away. Not "Oh, I'm SO sorry".  And then I see them doing the same thing to someone else. It's clearly deliberate. Western FFX County has had many incidents and issues with rudeness, never mind Asian women being held as slaves.  Past tolerance is starting to give way to frustration.[/quote]

Ha! I live in Western Fairfax as well and twice at the Fairfax Costco, someone has taken my things out of my cart and then tried to take my cart. Then they pretended like they didn't know it was someone's cart. Twice! I thought it was just me.[/quote]

What? Why are Muslim women in particular doing this? [/quote]
