A number of controversial videos have been posted to social media; however, the following video was posted to Facebook by a man who claims his family experienced prejudice in North Vancouver.

According to his Facebook post, Bassam Abbunnadi was visiting the area with his pregnant wife and 4-year-old son when a woman began making racial comments toward them. Specifically, he states that she remarked how, “Canadians don’t wear headscarves.”

In addition, he claims the woman called his family terrorists.

Afterwards, when he told her he was contacting the police, he alleges that she ran away. With that being said, he was able to find her and that was when he shot the video.

As I celebrated eid-ul-fitr with my pregnant wife and 4 year old son, this human bowel movement felt it was necessary to let us know that we are terrorists and that “Canadians don’t wear headscarves.” As is normal in confrontations with bigots, she ran away as soon as we told her that we were going to notify the police that she was harassing us. Unfortunately they just missed her. Thankfully I got a shot of our brief exchange when, much like a bad rash, she resurfaced. I have lived in this country my whole life, and have never encountered anything but kindness. However, there is clearly a trend that Muslims (particularly women) are experiencing right here in our city. In defiance of this trash can, we did not let this ruin our day. Eid Mubarak to all!

Sadly, this isn’t the first time a video like this has been recorded in Vancouver. In fact, other verbal occurrences have taken place that escalated physically.

A teenage girl reported that a man attacked her moments after she boarded the train at Waterfront Station on Monday, December 6th. Further, the man shouted a slew of racial insults at her, which included threatening to kill all Muslims.

Editors Note: Our last post indicated that the incident took place in Granville Island; however, we have corrected the article to cite North Vancouver as the location.
