Muslim Woman Punches Photographer Claiming He Violated Her Religion

Claiming that her religious rights had been violated, a Muslim woman punched a man in the face after he had photographed her on a busy Toronto intersection.

The photographer was David Menzies, a popular columnist in Canada who mostly writes about cars.

He said he was with his nine-year-old son testing out a new camera in Yonge-Dundas Square, a bustling, neon-saturated intersection known as Toronto’s Times Square, when she became enraged.

This is how he explained it in a Toronto Sun column:

Suddenly, a woman wearing a hijab ran toward me. She was part of a group that included two women wearing full face-covering burkas. She was screaming: “We are Muslim! You do not take pictures of us!” (Odd. I can’t find the “no photos” rule in the Qur’an.)

I informed the lady I was in a public square in a democracy. I can actually take pictures of whomever I please.

And then: Ka-pow! Her fist collided with my face. Worse, she almost knocked my new camera from my hands.

My son and I were then surrounded by a mob of about 20 people, many of whom were speaking Arabic. One kept demanding I surrender my camera to him.

Menzies said he spotted a group of police officers, so he ran towards them, telling them he wanted to file assault charges against the woman.

He even had witnesses, a couple from Syria who understood Arabic.

But the cops refused to arrest her.

The officer interrogated the woman. She was still hysterical. Good. The constable would encounter firsthand what I had been forced to deal with earlier.

The cop walked back to me. No charges would be laid, he said, because he believed the woman’s story — namely, she was merely trying to knock the camera out of my hands.

Menzies was flabbergasted that police would not file charges. They probably didn’t want to file a report.

It was only last year that a man was assaulted by a Muslim after he photographed him on the streets in New York City.

The NYPD officer who responded to the incident ordered the photographer to delete the image because it supposedly violated the Muslim’s religion.

Menzies should have taken it all in stride by photographing the cops and the Muslim mob who surrounded him.

Or better yet, recorded a video of the entire episode.

That's what I did in 2008 after I was surrounded by a mob of Cuban exiles in Miami.

Within seconds after I turned the video camera on, I was assaulted by a security guard, who was not even in uniform but was carying a concealed weapon I later learned.

The actions starts at 4:00 in the video.

And we're allowing people to settle here who hate the American way because...? (Or Canadian way, etc., as the case may be) Obviously, people who argue in favor of such foolishness must also, necessarily, hate the American way themselves, or they wouldn't be doing it because it hurts America and increases the violence in America. And who would those people be? Democrats. I know Rats get upset when you accuse them of hating America, but this is logic a four-year-old could understand.

Sorry, don't mean to be preaching at the choir. Just making a point for any three-year-olds who happen along and are having trouble understanding why we think Rats hate God, America, freedom, apple pie, etc.

I'd LOVE to have some muzzie chic punch me in the face.......then I get MY turn!

They wear masks, are not afraid to attack us and can walk into a bank or airport dressed that way. Nothing going on here....move along.

7th century civilization feels that the "magic box" steals their soul if you take their picture.

I don't want this culture to infect my culture.

It's bad enough when a Muslim (male or female) attack a citizen on a public street in broad daylight because they claim their religion forbids him taking a photo of that person. But when the victim of such an attack - with witnesses - asks a police officer to intervene and arrest the attacker and he refuses on some flimsy pretext (as happened in this instance) we are in deep doo-doo. This is giving a Muslim, de facto control over non-Muslim citizens on the basis of 'their religion'. That police are loath to arrest a Muslim woman who clearly attacked a man for taking her photograph is not a shock but it is worrisome. This kind of acquiescence to the demands of the Islamic religion - afforded no other religion - will only embolden Islamist activists and make us all less free. Why?

It already has, irreversibly. And I don’t see our congresscritters putting a stop to it.

They too have become infected — tea partiers, RINOs, RATS and other “conservatives”.

So my religion says I can eat pork. If they violate it am I allowed to punch them?

Is this an example of shaira law one hears so much about?

That ain't good. Toronto - my home town - is known for police applying the law fairly rigourously. Keith Richards, Jimi Hendrix and Ja Rule were all arraigned in Toronto; their celebrity didn't get them a get-away-with-it card. It's part of the fabric of the city.

I hope the cops letting that slide is an "isolated incident." The last time stuff like that went sliding was more than twenty years ago, with yute gangs. Took a bit of turning around before the subways became peaceful again.

Funnily enough, if she had punched a muslim male, he would have honor raped her, beheaded her and had her corpse stoned...

[massgopguy]

Does that mean Muslim Rage Boy is an infidel?

Right up there with tolerance and political correctness.

He violated her religion by not having a beard and by not yelling outrageously.
