It’s a sad indication of the times we live in when somebody has to create an illustrated guide that teaches bystanders how they can help victims of Islamophobic harassment. But due to the increased pressure experienced by the Islamic community in France following a number of tragic terrorist attacks in the country recently, a Paris-based illustrator who goes by the name of Maeril decided to create this useful guide to encourage people to assist Muslims unfairly targeted because of their faith.
“I’m focusing on protecting Muslims here,” writes Maeril on her Tumblr page. “As they have been very specific targets lately, and as a French Middle Eastern woman, I wanted to try and do something to raise awareness on how to help when such things happen before our eyes – that way one cannot say they “didn’t know what to do”!” Scroll down to see what you can do to help.

What do you think ?
Shame on anyone who things its ok to harrass anyone especialy because of Religion. The purpose of this guide is to address the recent incidents of harrassment that Muslims have faced by some big angry bullies. No Muslim, Christian or Jew or Atheist should have to justify their beliefs to anyone. Just becuase other types of phobias exist does not mean Islamophobia is justified. If you don't like a certain group of people..fine.. but it still doesnt give you the right to go up to them and attack them with your words. .
Yes,absolutely! And for Ed Jones,go fuck yourself.

Fuck those goat fucking pedophiles. And fuck anyone that helps the cowardly shit stains. I have a pet pig named allah!
I wonder, if a beautiful blond woman goes to any Muslim country in the middle east, without scarf on her head, with short skirt (because this is how she likes going out), will she be treated in the same way by some Muslim woman in the public transportation (just as it is depicted in the picture above)? Should this blond woman demand respect from the Muslim community? And most importantly - will the Muslim lady, who comforted her, be killed by stones just for the sake of the belief? I wonder...
A friend of mine, of Polish nationality, went to work in a spa in Turkey for some weeks and she and her friend almost got raped by the bus driver and his friend who thought in their sick mind they wanted something with them. The girls did not do anything to provoke them, they just were asking for directions. What she told me is that blond european women are seen as easy and they think they will accept right away whatever those men ask them. She does not want to go back to that country anymore. Too dangerous if you go by yourself or with another woman. You have to go with a man for them to respect you. This is an experience from a Polish blonde woman in Turkey.
There are different type of moslem and its effect their behaviour. Please STOP judging islam with middle east moslem behaviour. I'm from the biggest moslem population country in the world. And harrassment of woman (for whatever they wearing) is the biggest sin. I work, having my master degree, and driving a car (mohammad wife can ride a horse btw, so women driving a car is halal in islam btw). I can't imagine if my non moslem friends at work, with their skirt, and different cloth from me, getting harrassment as i don't stand up for her in here. *sorry for my bad english, you should meet moslem from non middle east guys, what they reflecting is not from religion mostly but from their harsh culture
Yeah, I have a couple of Aussie friends who were in Turkey. They showed me the photos they took. Drinking alcohol in the middle of a wheat field with a bunch of very rough guys. I asked her how did they ended there. "We saw these fields and the rough guys and we wanted to meet them. The bus driver told us it was dangerous for us and he didn't want to let us out of the bus. We threatened the bus driver with legal action. He then let us go, but he was very worried about our safety. The rough guys were nice, they didn't do anything." These two idiots were very lucky. They wouldn't behave like that in their own country. (Outback for example. You don't drive in the outback alone.) Also, there are millions of blond Turkish women... I wonder how they survive.
It's not the same thing. Walking around like you're half naked could offend some people whether it's because of religious believes, conservatism, or personal moral beliefs. However walking covered up can only offend infidels â in other words, people who think walking around showing your panties, tits, ass crack, and what not is the same like walking around covered up need their heads checked.
actually the Muslims wont react n think that the blond girl is a tourist n say "hi" or "where are you from" they won't judge they will think someone like to visit their country
beautiful blond woman don't go to in UAE, Morocco, Tunis, Egypt, Jordan, ......................................
and countries like turkey, Bosnia Albania, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Morocco or Libya dont have 'beautiful blond haired' women. some people are just plain ignorant.
Now that I read again your comment, I have got another experience from a friend of mine living in London. She lives in Woolwich area. It was summer and she likes to wear those sleeveless t-shirts (nothing wrong with that, obviously) so she was going to the park with her baby daughter and Muslim women were stopping to look at her from hear to toe to try to tell her to not to dress like that !!! I'm sorry about the bad word but whom the fuck are they to tell her how to dress !! whom the fuck !!! and OF COURSE this is not the only time she got harassed by Muslim women AND on top of that, she almost got rapped by a Muslim man who threatened her to not to say anything because he was a "lawyer". She was so nervous that did not say a word until months passing, then she told me and I asked her why on earth didn't;t she tell me right away so we could call the police. Very sad. My friends and I have all this experiences one after another. This people need to get educated by their own community
Rebesweety,if your friend obeys the warning from that Muslim woman,your friend possibly would not ended like that.And in Islam,a raper should be killed.
Don't put your self into their level.....if they want to do it in their country...it's their bussines...by doing the same the way they treat people...wouldn't it state that we are the same as them......we are so much better then they are.

anti-Semitic hate crimes are far higher in France and America than anti-Muslim. That's why Jews are fleeing France. Guess what kind of immigrants are doing the anti-Semitic attacks. In America, the US gov reports anti-Semitic attacks are 5 times the anti-Islamic attacks.
DO you live in France Chris Cooper ??? I think not....
