A Muslim woman in Santa Monica, California was pleasantly surprised to find multiple people came to her defense after a White woman began berating her for wearing her hijab in a store.

The woman attempted to cut in front of TikToker @zardanainjali in the checkout line at a local grocery store.


When @zardanainjali tried to say something, the woman launced into her Islamaphobic tirade.

@zardanainjali

Thanks to you #Karen i’m going to wear my #hijab loud and #proud #racist #islamaphobe #fypシ #muslim #islam #peace #blm #forypupage #middleeastern #

Suddenly another shopper joined in.

"Don't talk to her like that," said the other shopper, a Black woman.

The White woman then called the Muslim woman a "f'king Middle-Easterner who thinks she's f'king privileged."

After that, several other people came to her rescue, with half of the video showcasing a veritable crowd of people who stepped up to defend her.

A couple then offered to walk her to her car in order to give her further protection and comfort.

At the end of the video, @zardanainjali began to break down.

She wrote in the text on-screen:

"I'm so embarrassed for breaking down and crying but no child should see their mom being attacked....no child should be traumatized like this."

The trauma of a bigoted attack is great, despite the amount of people who jumped in to help the victim.

But the fact people jumped in at all?

That's a big deal. Hopefully it can inspire others to jump in the next time they see something like this happening.

Trump Gets U.S. Military Troops To Boo Democrats And 'Fake News' During Alarming Speech

Members of the military stationed at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, erupted in boos when President Donald Trump goaded them during a speech in which he attacked former President Joe Biden, California Governor Gavin Newsom, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, and the "fake news" covering the ongoing protests in L.A. in response to the Trump administration's immigration raids.

The military has a longstanding tradition of remaining nonpartisan so it was striking that those in attendance, many of whom wore military fatigues, booed in the first place.
