Sooo … we don’t typically cover ‘randos’ on Twitter because the person may not even be who they say they are BUT when we come across a thread or something that stands out just that much, we will.
Like this thread from Nu Ashour where she claimed she was harassed over her hijab while in a Starbucks.
Now, this could very well have happened and if it did, shame on this mysterious woman. But her story has several large holes in it and many people on Twitter ain’t buyin’ it.
See for yourself.
Today I got harassed by a woman for wearing a hijab. The sad part was it was @Starbucks and not a single employee or bystander said a word to her. She threw things in my face and said horrific things. Had the roles been reversed, I guarantee the reactions would have differed. ?

Hrm.
No one said a word, in a Starbucks. Really?
K.
I had my 8 month old daughter with me and my three year old nearby. I was so shook up I had to leave immediately because I feared for the safety of my family. Had I not approached a security officer outside, not a single person at @Starbucks thought to even check on me.

It’s really sad that I have to explain to my 3 year old that people can hate someone so much because of their religion or the way they dress. This is such a small thing compared to the hatred other Muslims experience on a daily basis. America, do better.

Starbucks do better?
For everyone asking. She bumped into me from behind.Being a normal person I said I’m sorry as a reaction.She grabbed a ton of coffee sleeves and threw them then continued to yell at me that I better be sorry. Continued to yell at me and say I needed to leave then followed me out.

But she said up there that she had to go outside to find a security officer. The woman who attacked her went outside too?
After I ran out I found a security officer and yelled for help. He approached me and then she went up to him and said, “ I don’t know what her problem is, she threw stuff at my face.” It’s on camera. Obviously racist. Obviously a liar. It was a scene. I was terrified and crying.

So was the woman inside or did she follow her outside?
One man standing next to me inside apologized to me. That’s it. Otherwise, everyone just watched. The @Starbucks employees were aware, yet not one of them came to see if they could help or apologized to me. NOTHING. Sad world we live in. ?
— Nur Ashour (@catastrophicook) June 16, 2019
Again, inside or outside?
Told you there are some holes in this story.
And @Starbucks @starbuckshelp has yet to respond.
— Nur Ashour (@catastrophicook) June 16, 2019
AND there it is.
So… what did she say about your hijab?
— Some guy tweeted something ??♂️ (@jtLOL) June 16, 2019
Yeah, we didn’t see anything in her story about what the evil, racist, mean woman actually said about her hijab.
I don’t believe a word of this. https://t.co/tUldfiZhkK

You're a liar.

Had the roles been reversed, @starbucks would have the FBI on the scene. They’ve proved themselves as a racist and islamophobic company towards Muslims.

This guy realizes it’s Starbucks he’s babbling about, right?
I’m sorry you endured this. Starbucks and the people who frequent it are known to be intolerant.

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
I never believe or disbelieve anything without thinking it thru. Too much here doesn't make sense yet. It's not human nature to for an entire room to stand and watch someone be accosted. Also this would be on every news outlet around. It's exactly what they look for. Curious.

I’ll take “things that never happened” for 2,000 Alex!

Hey, you never know, she might be telling the truth and surely the security camera footage should be at her disposal if so but … eh.
