Artist Made A Guide That Shows What To Do When You See Islamophobia
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.

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. .
Same with religious people attacking gay people like this. It’s not ok

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.

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....

Reading these comments are bringing tears to my eyes. The media is brainwashing us all. There is abuse in and by every religion. Christians have burned over 700 million women in the past 2000 years because they were using plants as medicine, therefore they were "witches". My brother was kidnapped and beaten up by muslims. Does that mean that I should disrespect muslims when I see them on the street ? Does that mean that I shouldn't help women in the situation depicted above ? She could be the kindest woman on earth for all you know. If the media treated you like a terrorist wouldn't you get angry and maybe start acting like one ? The key here is to show LOVE not hate. LOVE as much as you can because there is only one race, it is the HUMAN race. Stop hating, don't watch the news, help where you can, don't be Anti-Racism or Anti-Muslim, be Pro-Peace and Pro-Love. Racism is a mental illness, i know it can be hard to forgive and tolerate, but it is a problem of ignorance and miseducation.
To the small minded on this board that can't quite figure this out. If you see a hate crime AND you want to intervene, regardless of whether it is a hate crime against Muslim, Christian, Jew, Atheist, skin color, speech impediments, eye color, or whatever other stupid reason people have for disliking other people without knowing them, the above graphic works. UNLESS you are just plain dumb and spend more time complaining about how this group is more privileged than the group I like or some of this group was mean so all people of that group are mean. Hint hint
Seems to me this is easier for women as it would be for a man to engange randomly into a conversation with a muslim woman.
This is just politically correct propaganda, I thought that Bored Panda was above this type of thing.
I'm actually taking notes coz I'd just swear at the (other) bully prolly

Well, when was the last time you saw a moslem stand up for a black person, or a gay person or a woman. Enough said, just more picking away at us as if they were really victims, it is a ruse, wake up people.
And that YOU don't see people sleep for example doesn't mean they don't do it. So don't go around and say this s**t.

And what to do if I see Atheistophobia? Oh wait, we only have a word Islamophobia. Harassment against any other group is not a phobia... seems legit. But seriously, go to youtube and search up "sharia patrols harassing". Then make a guide to show what to do against Muslim harassment. Cheers!
No one said that other religious/non religious groups are discriminated against. I understand your frustration but the reason we aren't hearing about Atheist-phobes/christian-phobes is simple because atheists and christians aren't in the spotlight like Muslims and Islamic people are at the moment, and for all the wrong reasons too. You are right though- there are many religious and ethnic groups which experience the very same sort of things, and hopefully in the future all of this will get the attention it rightfully needs.

In the Quran it says that you have to respect all people including their religion or non religious, sexuality or race.
Whenever I hear someone talking s**t about Gay people I stand up and I tell them that "they are human just like you, just because of their sexual choices it doesn't mean they aren't human." I feel so bad when I hear 'black' people getting insults and bullied because of their skin color. What if it was the opposite? What if 'black' people where bulliyng the 'white' people? I'm a feminist, humanist and Muslim. The truth is I'm a HUMAN and people are racist and sexist. Thank you very much for reading this. Please don't get bad vibes from this. I didn't leave a comment to make anyone feel bad, I just want to let you know nothing is the way it's looks like.
I believe in Allah, I'm Muslim. I believe in equality, I respect your opinions. I love people, (I'm not saying black or white because it doesn't matter what your skin color is. Or I'm not saying gay, lesbian, biseksual etc. You are a human being and I love you the way you are.) When people get killed in New Orleans, Orlando I was so upset and I wish I had money to go there and be there to help people and make them feel much better or to get justice. I hate Muslims who said that they are killing people for no reason but they are just doing it for Allah. It's not how our religion are. Please, just don't believe what media show you. We are not savages. We are not barbarians. We are humans just like you.
It should be titled 'What to do if witnessing any type pf harassment'
As if the Muslims are doing the same for us....why should I try to make people comfie that are constantly abusing and disrespecting our way of life?
excuse me? how do Muslims abuse and disrespect your way of life? who are you talking about when you say "our"? speak for yourself only

I walked in a nice [officy] mini skirt in SE London in front of a mosque and got insulted with dirty looks by guys with beards. What is the correct way for muslims to come to my aid when this happens? Anyone want to draw a cartoon?
It doesn't work like this. Many Muslims think that they are better than anyone. All people are free to choose their religion, habits or dresses, but they aren't allowed to judge others.
Bowing down to the Muslims again, they get treated better than the people born in their own country, they get everything they ask for thrown at them and we are pushed to the back of the line, talking about the UK here.
I'm a muslim girl , and all i want yo say *THANK YOU SO MUCH*who ever draw this beautiful post .. Thank you ,kissing & hugs ^^
Jeannette: They ARE victims. What some of them do to deserve this? That's right, NOTHING.
So many people that brainwashed by the media, and who the hell build a terrorist bombing group and use the name of islam at first?, they really didnt read the Quran at all, that was a big impact to muslims. As a muslim, i said, such a shame, so many people didnt realize that muslims, christian, and jewish are actually follow the same god, we are all brothers ......
hmmm I would die to protect that Moslem woman... true ignorance to do this to anyone in the States. When I got back from combat, infantry in Iraq, my feelings toward Arabs, Moslems was between hatred & fear but I never openly expressed it. Up at the university I saw an Arab woman running, and I'll give you a guess what that means in Iraq... I was in the war again & every ambush, bodies & IED was in my head. Looking at three "hajis" at a ski area, I didn't know, but my brother said "you look like someone just threw a beer in your wife's face." Time heals, but what helped most was a Saudi student, who really took a shine to my better side. Our conversations & just "hellos" really helped un-F my head. I will say, what people say about "the other side of the coin" of "Europeans, Christians" esp females, in the Middle East is very true. Spend ONE DAY in the Middle East, & you will change your tune about them being "just like us, good & bad" 1st- the way they treat females -in every way
Why can't people just believe in what they want to and not try to judge and change others? . I just can't get my head around it.
What about if I'm man, and salafist Niqabed woman is Abused :) How I can talk with her, when she takes it as forbidden activity? Should I try to even help her, when feeling her niqab totally disrespecting my culture? Sorry, this commix is one side viewed piece of c**p!

Doesn't matter what religion, gender, sexuality, or race. No one deserves to get harassed by anyone because of those things. People who actively think everyone's the same because some people have acted like douchebags towards them are the worst. Give them the benefit of the doubt.
Stop hate because of religion?! Total allegiance and love are only to be given within the Islamic community, and rejection, hate, and enmity against the other is commanded, based upon Qur'anic foundations: Say: "If you love Allah then follow me that Allah may love you and forgive your faults… Allah does not love the infidels. … They are the residents of Hell, and will there forever abide." So,if you are with religion which hates me that there won't be love from my side. Simple.
I'm a Turk,18 year old girl, living in Turkey, Antalya. I know what people think about Muslims and Turks but please be realistic. Not all Muslims are same, not all Christians or people from other religions are the same. Just like in my country, there are rapists, perverts and terrorists in other countries too. Not only in Muslim Countries. In here you can wear anything you want to wear.Yes, they are problems in my country but every country has it. In Antalya, you can wear a bikini and walk around, it's a natural thing, you can lay on the beach, naked, and yes in our religion it's not appropriate but it's your life and your way to live. Some of us have respect and some of us don't. But it's not only in here. Think our country as a Jewish or Christian Country. What would your react than? It's just a tag, we are all same. I can be friend with a Jewish, Christian, Buddist and Atheist. I have two friend who don't believe in Allah and I was in a class full of Atheists. But I respect them.
What about harassment of non muslims in muslim countries? It goes far beyond just nasty remarks.
Ok part2 I opened the pic and see the rest but this is unrealistic of today's society people rather stare and take pics instead of helping
I don't see how this in any way depicts anyone aiding the victim instead the lady watching is doing just that staring and the one music???
Muslims are the terrorist not the victims. Unless they are killed by other muslim terrorists. Time to open eyes.
Most Muslims are not terrorists. There are about 1.5 billion of them. If just one half of them were terrorists, the whole world would be bombed to the Bronze age :) But the problem of Islam is not just terrorism. The problem is Islam itself. At least in Europe. It is democracy versus sharia. Those two are mutually exclusive.

“I’m focusing on protecting Muslims here,” - yep, let they feel themselves free for killing people. S*it for red swines.
This is not so difficult. This indicates Islamic people but how many of you might be in a minority of some sort? The same situation as applied here as a solution can work to any minority being harassed or even any person being harassed. I know that this is so. I've experienced the above both ways, being harassed and being able to "rescue" a harassed person. Give it a try. You'll have to be brave to do it but it's worth a try at least once.
Really? and what would happen if it is the other way around (which is the most often case!) ? then we cannot do nothing otherwise they accuse us for discrimination. What a fair world we live in.
This seems like a really good idea, but it requires some social skills. What if the harrassed person takes your beneficial engagement as further attack and runs away? Seriously, when someone's already in the wrong mood, all they want is some privacy andbsome time for themselves. A third person approaching like that could be a little overwhelming for the victim. Furthermore, the aggressor may not let themselves be ignored. If I were the victim, I'd just stand up and walk away into a different wagon, plug my earphones, look into my phone, and pretend I don't see the world around me. I'm not saying this is a better solution, that's just the result, as it is the quickest way for those who don't wanna be bothered.
This is so thoughtful, and very much needed in these troubled times. :)
Everything is fine, while it's controvertial. Did you seen any guide for mislums hot to stop their men, when they attack a woman? No? What a surprise...
Where is the poster about what do you do if you see a 'refugee' sexually assault a woman or child?
Hmmm... I wander if for instance a nice saudi woman would do the same for an european woman wearing miniskirt if she face some (rare, I am sure) occurance in Riad or Mecca's public transport...
People are afraid of what they dont understand, if they would let others to get to know their culture better, I think a lot would change to better :)
Yeahhhhhh.......this isn't the 'movies.' How many of us have actually ever seen a Muslim getting bullied?
I like point 2, which says pick a random topic. Suggestions: Stoning women who commit adultery. Suicide vests. Throwing people who might be gay off buildings. One of thm would be a winner, I'm sure.
Well I had a Muslim family live next door to me,they use to park on the shared drive ,always rude when asked to move,but never moved,dumped rubbish in their back garden bringing rats,phone the police,environmental health and the council but nothing was ever done in the finish I wrote a strong worded letter to my M P asking did these Asians get priority or are they frightened of them?Thank the Lord they moved after looking vying next door for 4 long and horrible years,You try to be friendly with people and just because they have different religions or live their lives differently they don't want to know.If they don't start integrating with other religions and different cultures I'm sorry but they will never be accepted we are all human and live differently but we all need to mix with one another.
What if the rude family had a same religion with you?

You know what the problem is? Calling someone Islamic or Muslim. Do you think about Everyone like this? Nationality taking a back seat to religion when identifying a person? No matter where you go in the world, there will be arseholes. Some will be black, some white and all will be the same; human. Who gives a f**k what religion or nationality someone is? If they are an arsehole, that desn't mean that their country of origin or choice of religion is why. As an Englishman currently living in Bangladesh (a hugely Islamic country) I can confidently say I know more arseholes that are white, English and either Christian or Athiest than I do anyone else. Condemning the extremists who cause violence and pain is one thing, condemning a whole religion because of those few is another thing all together. And quite frankly if we were to do the same for all religions, Christianty has some explaining to do. Just see each other as human guys, don't judge a person for anything but their deeds.
We don't choose our nationality or skin color, but we can choose our religion. I was born as a Muslim (Unfortunately) but I am an atheist now, I believe in humanity. But do extremists (no matter what religion they have) respect humanity? Most of extremists are Muslims, they think that they have the best manner and judge others by their silly beliefs.

I've experienced the above both ways, being harassed and being able to "rescue" a harassed person. Give it a try. You'll have to be brave to do it but it's worth a try at least once.
Really? and what would happen if it is the other way around (which is the most often case!) ? then we cannot do nothing otherwise they accuse us for discrimination. What a fair world we live in.
This seems like a really good idea, but it requires some social skills. What if the harrassed person takes your beneficial engagement as further attack and runs away? Seriously, when someone's already in the wrong mood, all they want is some privacy andbsome time for themselves. A third person approaching like that could be a little overwhelming for the victim. Furthermore, the aggressor may not let themselves be ignored. If I were the victim, I'd just stand up and walk away into a different wagon, plug my earphones, look into my phone, and pretend I don't see the world around me. I'm not saying this is a better solution, that's just the result, as it is the quickest way for those who don't wanna be bothered.
This is so thoughtful, and very much needed in these troubled times. :)
Everything is fine, while it's controvertial. Did you seen any guide for mislums hot to stop their men, when they attack a woman? No? What a surprise...
Where is the poster about what do you do if you see a 'refugee' sexually assault a woman or child?
Hmmm... I wander if for instance a nice saudi woman would do the same for an european woman wearing miniskirt if she face some (rare, I am sure) occurance in Riad or Mecca's public transport...
People are afraid of what they dont understand, if they would let others to get to know their culture better, I think a lot would change to better :)
Yeahhhhhh.......this isn't the 'movies.' How many of us have actually ever seen a Muslim getting bullied?
I like point 2, which says pick a random topic. Suggestions: Stoning women who commit adultery. Suicide vests. Throwing people who might be gay off buildings. One of thm would be a winner, I'm sure.
Well I had a Muslim family live next door to me,they use to park on the shared drive ,always rude when asked to move,but never moved,dumped rubbish in their back garden bringing rats,phone the police,environmental health and the council but nothing was ever done in the finish I wrote a strong worded letter to my M P asking did these Asians get priority or are they frightened of them?Thank the Lord they moved after looking vying next door for 4 long and horrible years,You try to be friendly with people and just because they have different religions or live their lives differently they don't want to know.If they don't start integrating with other religions and different cultures I'm sorry but they will never be accepted we are all human and live differently but we all need to mix with one another.
What if the rude family had a same religion with you?

No matter where you go in the world, there will be arseholes. Some will be black, some white and all will be the same; human. Who gives a f**k what religion or nationality someone is? If they are an arsehole, that desn't mean that their country of origin or choice of religion is why. As an Englishman currently living in Bangladesh (a hugely Islamic country) I can confidently say I know more arseholes that are white, English and either Christian or Athiest than I do anyone else. Condemning the extremists who cause violence and pain is one thing, condemning a whole religion because of those few is another thing all together. And quite frankly if we were to do the same for all religions, Christianty has some explaining to do. Just see each other as human guys, don't judge a person for anything but their deeds.
We don't choose our nationality or skin color, but we can choose our religion. I was born as a Muslim (Unfortunately) but I am an atheist now, I believe in humanity. But do extremists (no matter what religion they have) respect humanity? Most of extremists are Muslims, they think that they have the best manner and judge others by their silly beliefs.

Islam is not the problem, radical extremists are the problem.
