Jennifer Guilbeault, 23, shown on video assaulting Shohel Mahmud after he began reciting prayer in Arabic

A New York woman who pepper-sprayed a Muslim Uber driver while he was praying has been indicted by the Manhattan district attorney on hate crime charges.

Jennifer Guilbeault, 23, is shown in a surveillance video repeatedly pepper-spraying her Uber driver, Shohel Mahmud. The assault took place in August on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, near the corner of east 65th Street and Lexington Avenue, shortly after Mahmud began reciting a prayer in Arabic.

…

Guilbeault’s former employer, the public relations and marketing firm D Pagan Communications, wrote on X it is aware of her actions and “don’t condone this behavior”.

    The entire religion, xtians too, is a sociopathic physical, mental, and social abusive of all women. She was right to freak the fuck out. They tend to do a little more than prey.

      If you’re freaked out by everyone praying then ok still a bit weird but I can get it

      If you’re only freaked out by Muslims praying you’re racist as fuck

        Racist is ignorant. Yes, Xtians are bad. Muslims kind of take that sociopathy with some ridiculous excessive limitless abuse though. I despise Xtians and they should all die too but Muslims are cutthroat and will just fucking kill you right now for not wearing mask.

        You don’t get it, sucker. Preying is to stop you from listening to God. IT’S GOD. The only thing missing is your choice. Sucker.

          I’d argue edgy atheists are even worse. They’ll kill you and your entire family and then eat your pets and shit on your lawn just for believing in God.

          If you disagree, you just don’t get it sucker.

      What the fuck is wrong with you? This guy wasn’t hurting anybody by praying, and you don’t know anything about his other beliefs. Not every Muslim or Christian is a hateful, bigoted maniac. Most were raised in their respective religions from birth and don’t know any different.

      This kind of “all religious people are monsters” thinking screams “angsty teenager from r/atheism” and you should rethink your position. Be better.
