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”.
Read my responses for the answer, pedant.
There is something abnormal about praying in a workplace. They shouldn’t be attacked, but it’s also not normal. I don’t care what religion they’re a part of, it would be strange regardless.

Unless I’m paying them to take me somewhere, then it’s definitely my business why they aren’t doing that.
Shit is rarely just black and white as much as we’d all like that to be the case.

Who said anything about offended? Now piss off concern troll.
I don’t have to decide what is normal. I can experience what is normal. I don’t get mad when people pray, I just don’t like it done in front of me while I am trapped in a small space with them.

No… I get annoyed when people put me in position where I have no reason to expect them to start praying, and the only method of distancing myself from that act would be extraordinary inconvenient for me.
Pray 20 hours a day for all I care, to whatever God you want. Leave me out of it.
