Muslim woman holding baby attacked near Boston

[Sunni Man]

A Palestinian woman said she was assaulted and aggressively harassed while walking with her infant daughter and friend near Malden Center late Wednesday morning, in an apparent hate crime motivated by Monday's attack at the Boston Marathon.

Malden resident Heba Abolaban said she and her friend, both wearing hijabs, were walking with their children on Commercial Street when a man forcefully punched her left shoulder and began shouting at them.

“He was screaming 'F___ you Muslims! You are terrorists! I hate you! You are involved in the Boston explosions! F___ you!'” Abolaban remembered. “Oh my lord, I was extremely shocked.”

She said the man – described as a white male in his thirties wearing dark sunglasses – kept shouting and walking toward her as she backed away.

“I did not say anything to him,” she said. “Not even that we aren't terrorists...he was so aggressive.”

After about two minutes, Abolaban said the man continued his brisk walk toward Malden Center. Shaken, Abolaban called her husband in tears, and then 911.
“The police came and were so kind and helpful,” she said, though no suspects were arrested in the incident.

Abolaban and her husband, Ahmad Almujahed, are doctors who came to the United States from Syria to develop their specialties.

Last year, she did her six month observership at Mass General Hospital in the Clinical Genetics Department. While she was the only woman on staff to wear the Islamic hajib, she said she never felt singled out by her peers.

“I really do love the beautiful diversity of Boston (and its) people,” she said. “What happened to me yesterday saddened me a lot.”

Abolaban described Islam as a “religion of peace,” noting she spent the day before the attack handing out hot meals with her mosque.

“Our [Mosque] cooked food for the homeless regardless of their religion, ethnicity or race,” she said.

“Even if a Muslim man was the one behind the Boston Marathon blasts, he does not represent our beautiful and peaceful religion,” she later added.

Those kind of incidents happened after 9/11 too.

It's a shame that people need to backlash against a group that had nothing to do with what some nut job did.

There is absolutely no excuse for anyone to upbraid another innocent person this way. It is cowardly and disgusting. Funny that these are traits shared by the poster.

Muslims men don't respect their woman at all. It's sad.

Muslims men don't respect their woman at all. It's sad.

Some Muslim men do not respect women, and some Christian men do not respect women and some atheist men do not respect women.

Not all Muslims are the same.

If this happened as described, then it is of course a terrible incident.
But all we have is an article from an obscure website, sooo....I don't know.

The part in bold is the part I'm skeptical about - I find I hard to imagine a thug being so articulate in mid-attack. Never mind who was attacking whom or why..........
