When 21-year-old Shifa Abuzaid decided in May to begin wearing a hijab, she said her parents worried it might bring about incidents like the one she says she recently experienced.

A man passing Abuzaid, along with her younger cousins and siblings, called them a "bunch of terrorists" on Saturday in Sugar Land Town Square, Abuzaid recounted in a Facebook post that has since been shared on the medium more than 2,500 times.

Abuzaid was the eldest of her family members present at the time. The youngest was 10.

The group had been walking to their car after lunch when they passed the verbally abusive man and a woman, Abuzaid said in a phone interview Tuesday. Abuzaid was walking in front and was the only one with a hijab, a head covering worn in public by some Muslim women.

No, they are a buncha Jihadis.

[Oztrich Boy]

Don’t you get it? She was taunted!

[Mamzelle]

I smell a hoax.

[Hugin]

If you don’t want to be called a terrorist, quit dressing like one.

If he had only paid her family the Jizya tax they would have not killed him.

If I belonged to a group, any group, that had done and was still doing as much terrorism as her group, the Muslims, I would expect this.

Is there video? Are muzzies encourged to lie to promote Uslam?

[Karl Spooner]

Looks like the muzzies were trying to start trouble.

Snowflake needs to toughen up

At least he wasn’t wielding a knife and yelling allu akbar

[gundog]

Made her so mad she could drive a car into a crowd.

A man passing Abuzaid, along with her younger cousins and siblings,

What??? No husband?

If she tried this in a mooselimb country, she'd be stoned to death.

Ever here of free speech? It’s something Muslim countries don’t allow, so you would be happier there.

[mykroar]

Are they?

One time I was in a restaurant wiping my mouth clean, and one of two guys at the next table looked at me, and softly called me a napkin eater to his buddy. Lol.

Another time as I was walking out of a mall, a man with his wife looked at me and said, dang Polack's. Think he was Italian. I am only 1/4 Polish. You are just supposed to laugh this stuff off folks.

[Secret Agent Man]

They may not be. The more accurate sentence would be to say they look/dress like terrorists.

[Uncle Miltie]

I usually loudly suggest they “Assimilate!”

I've known quite a few women who, given the slightest opportunity, were always just itching to be in the middle of some off-the-hinges drama or conflict. I never understood the compulsion, and have never really known any male equivalents who even came close to needing the chaos and angst.

Go figure, huh?

When 21-year-old Shifa Abuzaid decided in May to begin wearing a hijab...

...in order to get attention, she HOPED to be able to provoke a situation in which she could finally savor the glorious, delicious pleasure of being a VICTIM!!! And now, at last, after 7 months of traipsing around in a costume she didn't even grow up with... AH! the sweet taste of anguished outrage. Or is it outraged anguish? I always get them mixed up.
