The Muslim woman who was removed from Donald Trump's campaign event in South Carolina on Friday after standing in silent protest following one of the Republican front-runner's controversial immigration comments says her reason for doing so was to show people that 'Muslims are not that scary.'

Rose Hamid, 56, attended the event in Rock Hill wearing a hijab and a shirt that read 'Salam, I come in peace,' hoping that her presence might manage to change the opinion some Trump supporters have about members of the Islam faith.

'I have this sincere belief that if people get to know each other, one on one, that they'll stop being afraid of each other and we'll be able to get rid of all this hate in the world, literally,' Hamid told CNN. 'So that was really my goal, was to let people see that Muslims are not that scary.'

She positioned herself directly behind Trump, and when he began to speak about Syrian refugees being banned from entering the United States and suggested that many had ties to ISIS, she silently stood up out of her seat.

Police immediately escorted her out of the event while the audience booed the woman and yelled at her to 'get out,' with one man screaming; 'You have a bomb, you have a bomb.'

After Hamid had been removed, Trump said to the audience; 'There is hatred against us that is unbelievable. It's their hatred, it's not our hatred.'

'I figured that most Trump supporters probably never met a Muslim so I figured that I'd give them the opportunity to meet one,' Hamid told CNN about her decision to attend the event after the incident.

'I really don't plan to say anything. I don't want to be disrespectful but if he says something that I feel needs answering I might - we'll just see what strikes me.'

Prior to her protest she said that things had been going well, and that the people she spoke with seemed receptive and eager to talk.

'The people around me who I had an opportunity to talk with were very sweet,' said Hamid, who was not even offended when one individual commented that she 'didn't look scary,' but 'like a good one' while they were standing in line.

Everything changed however when she decided to stand.

'The ugliness really came out fast and that's really scary,' said Hamid.

Major Steven Thompson of the Rock Hill Police Department said that Hamid was removed because police were briefed beforehand that 'anybody who made any kind of disturbance' would be escorted from the premises.

Trump meanwhile has not spoken about the incident, but did write about the event on Twitter Friday night, saying; 'Great even in SC tonight! Fire Marshall would not let everyone in-- 5,000 turned away. Thank you for coming!'

Outlook: Hamid, with is president of Muslim Women of the Carolinas, said she holds no ill will towards the audience, blaming Trump's hate speech instead

Background: Hamid (above with her son in Mecca in September) was raised in America after being born to a Colombian mother and a Palestinian father

Despite her treatment and the abuse she received from the audience, Hamid was quick to excuse the individuals and place the blame on Trump and the comments he has made over the course of his campaign.

'This demonstrates how when you start dehumanizing the other it can turn people into very hateful, ugly people,' she said.

'It needs to be known.'

Hamid, who is the co-founder and president of Muslim Women of the Carolinas and writes a column for The Charlotte Observer about her faith, had been discussing Trump just days before during an appearance on a local radio program, Charlotte Talks.

She was raised in America after being born to a Colombian mother and a Palestinian father, and a 2009 World Hum profile offers some insight into just why she believes she can change people's misconceptions and Muslims.

Hamid, a flight attendant, decided in 2005 to begin wearing her hijab at work.

Some criticized her for doing so post-9/11, including coworkers, but she managed to take it all in stride.

'There’s a saying of the Prophet that the person who gives salutations first is the most blessed,' Hamid said in that interview.
