None of them were seriously injured, but seriously, what is wrong with people.

A woman yelling anti-Muslim sentiment allegedly attacked two Muslim women as they pushed their children in strollers in New York, authorities said.



Emirjeta Xhelili, 32, allegedly tried to rip the hijab from the women's heads during the attack in Brooklyn on Thursday.

She struck the women in the face and body, and repeatedly shouted, "this is the United States of America, you're not supposed to be different from us," court documents allege.


Xhelili allegedly told the women, "get the (expletive) out of America (expletive), you don't belong here."

She also attacked their children, pushing one stroller to the ground and rattling the other while two infants sat inside, according to court documents. The 11-month-old and the 15-month-old, along with their mothers, were not seriously injured.



Shortly after the incident, New York Police Department officers arrested Xhelili in Brooklyn.

During an arraignment Friday, the Brooklyn District Attorney's office described the incident as a hate crime, charging her with offenses including assault, reckless endangerment of a child and harassment, according to court documents.


The New York Legal Aid Society attorney who represented Xhelili in court could not be reached for comment.




The Council on American Islamic Relations of New York called for justice.


"We urge the Brooklyn District Attorney's Office to prosecute this horrific attack vigorously, sending the message that hate attacks targeting any minority group will not be tolerated," said Afaf Nasher, executive director of CAIR-NY.

"We urge mosques and Islamic institutions to increase security measures, particularly this weekend as the nation marks the solemn occasion of the 15th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks, which some may use as an excuse to attack American-Muslims."


The alleged attack comes in the wake of recent murder charges against the alleged killer of a Queens imam and his associate in August.


"CAIR has noted a spike in anti-Muslim discrimination and hate crimes in recent months, which the civil rights groups attributes at least in part to Islamophobic rhetoric used by various public figures," CAIR-NY said in a statement.


Xhelili is scheduled to appear again in court Wednesday. Bail is set at $50,000 bond or $25,000 cash.

God help us.

Horrifying.

Emirjeta is a horrible human being- deplorable, for sure. How does someone become so ugly inside? Attacking babies? Innocent people on the street?

My first friend at my kids' preschool was (is) a Muslim woman. This was 6 years ago and the environment wasn't quite as ugly, but, she later told me that was so so so afraid to tell me because people were so mean to her about it. Things got so bad for her and her family that she moved to another part of the state (where Muslims aren't as rare), I am so horribly crushed for her and so embarrassed about what our country is doing to such a beautiful, good, kind family (and so many others like them).

[jeaniebueller]

Fuck that person. That is terrible.

[boxertdog]

What the fuck. #ThanksTrump

[PatBenatar]

Are you fucking kidding me? What a disgusting bitch

[nicbreeful]

The fuck?

And dude.. Isn't "Xhelili" Albanian? What the fuck is she even talking about then?

[underwaterrhymes]

This is going to escalate.

This is not new. But Trump has shined a flashlight on these fucking roaches and they are scurrying freely.

[pixy0stix]

lurkingaw - Your candidate supports this. WWJD?

[smock]

Go back to your basket, asshole.

Yes. My good friend is a Persian Christian and gets treated horribly because people assume she is MUSLIM because of her looks.

My colleague shared with me that her father goes around speaking French so no one will recognize he is Turkish because of his accent when speaking English. He started doing that right after 911 because of how people treated him. Her mother is German with a thick accent so her dad "passes" as Eastern European by doing this. It makes me sad.

Trump and AW's America!

This bitch is Albanian (not my cousin, I promise). With a name like that, she's first-generation American at most so fuck her for not reflecting on the fact that people are likely looking at HER suspiciously as well (since most Albanians are also Muslim).

That was my first thought. Like, I don't know what ethnicity or nationality you are, but, um at at a minimum, someone in your family immigrated at some point and may not be looked upon favorably your fellow Trump supporters.
