Muslim woman arrested for screaming abuse at elderly pride attendee

A homophobic argument in the street during Waltham Forest Pride has led to hate crime charges against a 38-year-old Muslim woman.

The pride event, held on July 27, saw hundreds or revelers march through the Waltham Forest borough located in Northeast London. One of those celebrants was scorned by the woman as seen in a video shared by Paul Embery on Twitter.

The woman, now identified as Jamila Choudhury, pointed her finger in the face of the reveler wearing a pride flag over his shoulders as another, presumably a safety monitor, stands between the two. Choudhury was adorned in a full, black niqab.

“Shame on you,” Choudhury repeatedly shouted, before breaking out the old line, “God created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve.”
