A woman was on her way to pick up her children from a school in North York on Monday when two men physically attacked her while hurling racial slurs, according to police. The woman was wearing clothes commonly associated with the Muslim faith, according to police division spokeswoman Const. Allyson Douglas-Cook. The men called her a "terrorist," telling her to "go back to your country." They then ripped off her hijab, punched her, and stole her cellphone, police told Global News. Police also said the woman was kicked and beaten, according to the National Post. The woman went into a nearby school in the Flemingdon Park area for help, where someone inside called police. http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2015/11/17/muslim-woman-attacked-school_n_8581002.html?ncid=fcbklnkcahpmg00000001 Something like this breaks my heart, what kind of assholes are we bringing up. They probably never suffered bombings and lived lives of privilege. They make me sick.

I do not profess to be a believer but isn't Christianity supposed to be based on love and helping the down trodden?

The trio made abusive comments suggesting that the two women were terrorists. One of the victims was pushed, according to Brad Ross, executive director of the TTC. Police are seeking the three suspects who fled after a witness pulled the emergency alarm on the train. �The TTC condemns this behaviour and racist act utterly and completely.� Ross says, �We are working with police to identify these cowards.� http://www.thestar.com/news/crime/2015/11/19/ttc-go-grapple-with-two-anti-muslim-incidents-in-one-day.html Take care, Pat
