A video has emerged of a white woman in Albany, New York, racially abusing two Muslim men in a sickening, expletive-ridden tirade.
The footage was posted on Facebook by Wazim Sookhai on August 11 as he made his way to prayer with Ismail Batmaz.
The woman, who has not been identified, is shown screaming in Batmaz's face, calling him un-American and demanding that he leave the 'f*****g country'.
The beginning of their altercation was not captured on film.
In several videos posted by Sookhai, she is shown standing close to Ismail's face and then batting away the cell phone being used to record her.
'So this happened this morning on my way to prayer in Albany, NY. I got verbally abused, kicked and spit on because I’m a Muslim. Got it.
'I never experienced racism in this country until today. Yes it exists,' Sookhai said as he uploaded the footage.
The woman was wearing sunglasses, combat boots and dark colored clothes.
According to Sookhai, she yelled at several Muslim men as they walked past her.
In the first video, the woman yelled: 'I want you out of my f***ing country!'
Batmaz stood still and replied: 'You can wish for that but you can't do anything.'
She then went on to scream that she was 'Native American', call Islam sexist and say: 'You weren't born here, you aren't blue b***h'.
When he replied that he was born in the US, she fumed: 'That doesn't make a difference! Just because you were born here doesn't make you blue.'
She then threatened him: 'ICE, ICE. Check the newspapers...I'm going to have you done by the cops.'
The woman became even more irate when she learned she was being filmed and claimed it was illegal, citing 'the constitutional right to privacy'.
'You can't film in America!' she screeched.
More than once, she grabbed at Sookhai's phone to try to turn the camera off.
Their confrontation ended with the two men walking away from her. Batmaz told her several times: 'You can't do s**t.'
The footage has now been viewed more than 400,000 times on Facebook but the woman is yet to be publicly named.
According to Sookhai, there were two police officers nearby but by the time they knew what was happening, she had fled.
He has not filed a police report. Batmaz has not commented.
