Far right Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene's ex-husband publicly apologized for an incident in which he was caught on camera harassing three Muslim women who were praying in a mall parking lot just north of Georgia.
Video filmed on March 31 showed Perry Greene leaning out of his Tesla Cybertruck and heckling the women, telling them they're "worshiping a false god because y'all are pieces of sh*t" and repeatedly telling them to "go back to your country."
The women had set up a prayer rug at an empty parking spot at the Avalon Mall in Alpharetta to get a quick prayer in before treating themselves to a day at the shopping and dining center on Eid Day, a Muslim celebration marking the end of the month-long fasting of Ramadan.
One of the women recalled the scary interaction with their harasser, saying, "The first thing I thought was either I'm going to get shot right now or…literally gonna get run over."
The women told WAAY 31 that the encounter lasted three minutes.

After the women's legal team demanded Greene apologize for his xenophobic remarks attacking the women, he showed up to express his regrets to the women at their place of worship.
At a news conference in Johns Creek, Greene stated:
“I came today just to meet with the young ladies that I was mean to and treated disrespectfully about their religion and about what they were doing.”
He continued:
“I just wanted them to know that I humbly apologize to them because no one should be treated that way, and that’s not the right way for us to treat anybody. ... We shouldn’t allow that in our society.”

Social media users questioned the sincerity of his apology.
The women's attorney, Ali Jamal Awad, stated that Greene is entertaining the idea of donating to a non-profit combating anti-Islamophobia, which could lead to the lawsuit being dropped.
“People do make mistakes,” Awad told Fox 5 in Atlanta, adding, “But you have to ask yourself, why? Why is it that Muslims are so targeted and so attacked in this community?”
Anti-Muslim incidents have increased around the U.S. significantly since the genocide in Gaza began.
Greene has not responded to questions regarding his violent verbal rampage leveled at the victims.
He and MTG married in 1995 while in college and had three children before Greene announced he was filing for divorce in September 2022, stating that their marriage was "irretrievably broken." Their divorce was finalized on December 22, 2022.
MTG recently made headlines for berating a British journalist who was trying to ask a question about the Signal group chat scandal.
The MAGA conspiracy theorist refused to take Sky News reporter Martha Kelner's question and told her to "Go back to your country."
