Hijab-Clad Woman Clicks Selfies Next to Anti-Muslim Protesters, Wins the Internet
These unhappy chaps were protesting the existence of 'Islam'.
Holding up placards that said no to Islam and headscarves, these kind folks also handed out food to those attending the Expo. Namely, pork sausages. Which is considered Haram by Islam.
Zakia Belkhiri, a 22-year-old who was there with her friends for the Expo and decided to do what's probably millennial's response to, well, a response. She whipped out her phone and took selfies. Her act, caught on camera by photographer Jurgen Augusteyns has expectedly gone viral. According to a report in Buzzfeed News, Belkhiri did so to prove that "we can live together. Not (just) next to each other, but with each other".
The photographer, Augusteyns said: "I knew the moment this happened the images would have ... impact. There's no violence nor insults involved, so she got her point across in a very effective way."
The photos, according to him, made a statement, and put her point across in the best possible way. Belkhiri apparently told him that she needed to take the selfies to show that these right-wingers were essentially harmless.
