Hawzah News Agency (Sydney, Australia)  A woman has been caught on camera allegedly abusing a Muslim student wearing a niqab at a Sydney university, calling her a ‘Muslim terrorist’ and demanding she take off her veil.

Ramzy Alamudi posted the shocking video on Facebook, saying he was shocked by what happened about 1pm last Friday at Macquarie University, where his wife attends.

“As we entered the car, my wife (who wears an Islamic veil — niqab) decides to smile politely and wave innocently at the lady assuming everything was good … This is where the entire situation just turned upside down,” Mr Alamudi wrote.

Mr Alamudi then got out of the car after the woman grabbed the windscreen wipers of his car.

As he was trying to calm her down, she is seen to begin pushing him and a scuffle ensues.

A witness, Emily Grace Guff, also posted a video of the altercation, expressed her shock at the woman who was physically attacking the man who was trying to protect his wife.

“As myself and another bystander approach the two, we made the shocking discovery that this poor man was actually trying to fight off this woman from his wife, who was sitting inside their car behind him,” she posted, adding they heard the woman claiming she ‘didn’t feel safe’ around the covered Muslim woman.

“She was demanding this man show her some form of ID, calling out that she didn’t belong here, and that we shouldn’t let her walk around freely because we didn’t know what she could have hiding under her dress,” Ms Guff stated.

“It makes me feel sick to know we coexist in a world where this happens so frequently, people thinking they have the right to belittle someone else because of their race or religion — to see what absolute shit some people actually have to deal with.”

The 35-year-old woman has since been charged with common assault and damage/destroy property.

She was given a field court attendance notice to appear at Burwood Local Court on March 13.

Mr Alamudi wanted to share the video “to identify racism/discrimination, not further it”.

“Unfortunately, this type of Islamophobia isn’t isolated to this one individual and incident. Rather, it is an overarching systematic issue in our society that continues to be bred by the propaganda of the media and politicians. This is the problem,” Mr Alamudi said.
