American-born Muslim harassed in line at supermarket: "I wish they didn't let you in the country"

Jeremy McLellan posted a video to twitter that he reports was taken by a Muslim friend of his being “harassed at a Trader Joe’s in Reston, VA.”

From his Facebook posting:

A friend of mine (who wishes to remain anonymous) just sent this to me. I’ve confirmed that it’s real. This happened today at the Trader Joe’s in Reston, VA. This woman was in a hurry so my friend (who is a Muslim woman) offered to let her go in front of her in line. That’s when she started talking bad about a different Muslim woman in the store (who was wearing niqab) and asking my friend why she didn’t cover as well. My friend replied it was a choice and the woman didn’t believe her and started talking about FGM and telling her “I wish they didn’t let you in the country.” That’s when my friend started filming.

Enjoy. Let’s make this lady famous.

(MEDIA: My friend has decided not to give any interviews. However, she says you may air the video as long as you give proper credit and ID her only as a friend of mine.)

So egregious even the Daily Mail pretends to care.
