Muslim women clap back at racist: SPAIN AUGUST 2026 - Hey, don't you have another place to put it? No! - Go back to your countries! And you can go f*ck yourself, for example. While filming themselves enjoying a drink, these two young Muslim women were verbally assaulted by a passerby. They were not intimidated: - Go f*ck yourself, girl. - Don't yell at me. - I didn't insult you. You told me to go back to my country. Well, are you from here? Yes, I'm from here. I was born here. What's your problem? And you're bald and I don't say anything to you. - So what? I'm just missing some hair. - You little brat. And you, old man! Old man? And you, young person. Get lost! - [insult] - F*cking racist! You're 50 years old, over 50, you rude person. Shameless. You have 4 days left to live and you're insulting people? EUROPEAN UNION AGENCY FOR FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS (FRA) Studies show Islamophobia in Europe has risen significantly since Israel's assault on Gaza, with almost 1 in 2 Muslims reporting racial discrimination in 2024. In Spain, anti-Muslim attacks rose to 35 from just 15 the year prior.
