A Muslim sheikh and the female founder of a right-wing political party have captured the shocking moment they were attacked by an angry Muslim man in a restaurant.

Shia imam Mohammad Tawhidi and Kim Vuga, the former star of SBS reality program 'Go Back To Where You Came From' turned political aspirant, were having lunch at an eatery in Adelaide, South Australia, when they were attacked.

Footage taken by Mrs Vuga, the founder of the Love Australia or Leave party, shows the pair being abused by the Muslim man as he goes on an expletive-laden rant.

Sheiki Tawhidi, a self-proscribed 'imam of peace', has been forced into hiding during recent months after facing a barrage of death threats and abuse from Muslims.

Opening up about his recent restaurant ordeal, the imam told Today Tonight the attack against him and Mrs Vuga was the latest sign of what he's previously called 'a serious problem' with the Muslim religion.

He told Daily Mail Australia the incident captured on camera occurred the day before Ramadan, when Muslims refrain from food and water for the holy month.

'Instead of dealing with the message that needs reformation, they attack the messenger,' he said.

'They want to rip you apart - since when did we accept this type of attitude in Australia?'

Footage of the incident shows the imam and Mrs Vuga being approached by an agitated man as they sit in the restaurant.

Yelling and swearing at the pair, the man calls Mrs Vuga a 'b***h' and stomps his foot on the ground, before being escorted from the eatery by two men who intervene.

He then moves outside where Sheikh Tawhidi seemingly tries to attempt to calm the situation, only to be spat at by the man

Describing the moment she came under attack Mrs Vuga, a former candidate for the Senate in Queensland, said she feared what the aggressive man would do.

'What we could've had is a radical attack in a family restaurant,' Mrs Vuga claimed.

The confrontation comes just weeks after Sheikh Tawhidi was spat at and called a pig as he walked down the street in the Muslim heartland of Sydney.

The moment he was verbally abused as he walked along Haldon Street in Lakemba - home to Australia's largest mosque - was captured on video by the man who spat at him.

Asked what the insult meant by Seven News reporter Bryan Seymour, he said: 'It means, 'May God curse you, you pig, you dog.'

The Muslim man, who describes Sheikh Tawhidi as a fraud and a 'lying piece of sh**' on his personal Facebook page, later uploaded footage of the confrontation online.

Sheikh Tawhidi picked up the footage and uploaded it himself, writing: 'A captured video footage from the very phone of the radical Muslim.'

'"May God curse you, you pig, you dog". It's interesting how we are yet to see a pig or dog damage this planet like these radicals have,' he added.

Sheikh Tawhdidi claimed the holy Koran had influenced the men who abused him.
