Niqab Woman Filmed Abusing Gay Pride March
The Metropolitan Police are investigating after footage of a woman clad in an Islamic niqab abusing Gay Pride marchers as “despicable people” went viral on social media.
The footage, reportedly taken in Waltham Forest, north-east London, shows a woman clad from head to toe in a black niqab — a religious garment which leaves only a narrow slit for the eyes and is often erroneously described as a burqa, which substitutes the niqab’s slit for a fabric mesh, by much of the press — shouting “Shame on you! Shame on you!” at a middle-aged man wearing a rainbow flag as a cape.
“God created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve! God created Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve!” she repeats.
“Shame on you! Shame on you! Shame on all of you!” she shouts. “Shame on you, you despicable people! Shame on you, you shameless people!”
“That’s what the racists and fascists say about you,” an unseen man calls back plaintively, seemingly discomfited at finding himself on the opposite side of the political divide from a Muslim fundamentalist — but to no effect, with the woman’s cries of “Shame on you!” only growing more emphatic.
