London: A British Muslim woman wearing Burqa was abused and called “Batman” by a man while shopping at a grocery store in London.
25-year-old Ahlam Saed went to a corner shop in Ealing Common on Saturday to purchase few sweets was mocked by a man for her attire in front of his two kids. Saed captured the entire incident on her phone, “I only wanted to get a packet of Starburst. I walked in and he decided to call me Batman and started singing the theme tune.”
“My parents don’t want me to wear it because they fear for my safety. But why should I take it off because of other people’s opinions? It’s my choice,” Saed said, adding that she has faced more abuse in recent months than ever before.
The video shows the man repeatedly asking Saed “Why do you wear that?”, referring to her veil. The man also makes claims about a Muslim couple with “photos of an ISIS flag” displayed on their house.
