A black woman on a bus in the UK was trying to eat her lunch undisturbed. A Muslim passenger objected because he could smell her food, which, of course, made his observance of Ramadan more difficult. He told her to stop eating; she — a Rosa Parks for our time — told him where to get off.

Miranda Rose Smith says
I fast, on certain days, and I wouldn’t think of asking someone not to eat
THX 1138 says
Eating your smelly lunch while riding on public transportation? I don’t think so.
Is she going to start flossing her teeth next?
Or clipping her toe nails?
Because I actually had a swine start clipping his toe nails in front of me on a train.
Intrepid says
Oh the horror. He clipped his toenails in front of you on the train? See, this is what comes from being too good to work.
You actually have to take public transportation? Why am I not surprised. You are the king of the effete do-nothings that has to criticizes the entire world for not thinking and behaving as you do. You deserve whatever teeth flossing, toenail clipping, smelly lunch person you have to put up with because you and your smelly low rent Objectivist philosophy deserve to be poor.
Back in the day when I actually went to the movies I actually had to put up with people eating their bagged lunches in the theater. You know what I did? I left the theater and waited for the next show. You could have gotten off the train and waited for the next one.
Here’s an idea you fatuous bum. Try getting a job so you can make a little money so you don’t have to ride the subway or a bus.
But at least I have some more material on you I can use
Mjw says
Geez! Triggered much?
Intrepid says
The fact that you are not triggered by this bum speaks volumes about you.
Miranda Rose Smith says
Most trains have dining cars, or at least snack bars. People are expected to eat on a train. I agree that it’s gross to floss your teeth or clip your toenails in public, though I see nothing wrong with filing or clipping one’s fingernails.
Atikva says
If you can’t stand public transportation, get a cab or walk – better, move to a muslim country. Being a member of this totalitarian ideology called islam that masquerades as a religion doesn’t entitle you to pester us Americans with it – it’s your problem.
Robert L. Kahlcke says
You need to get the F__K out of my country, this is AMERICA, if you don’t like our ways please return to the SWINE from where you were WHELPED.
Richard Johnston says
Wearing a Yankees jersey?
Wearing a crucifix?
Not wearing enough deodorant?
Wearing perfume or cologne?
Having bad breath?
Not having your hair brushed. enough?
Not wearing a suit?
Anything else we need to do to please your, your Lameness?
Chris Shugart says
I think your Babylon Bee humor goes over the heads of some of these egghead swine. And it’s a little bit too Hunter S Thompson for such a dignified audience as this.
Richard Johnston says
Thanks for your comment, I think we all need to laugh more. I’d find the assertion that “Islam is a religion of peace” funny if it were not for the fact so much violence has been, is being committed, and will be committed in the name of Islam.
Here’s something true I found funny. In the Quran sent to me by CAIR, there is a footnote accompanying the passage about the permissibility of a man hitting one of his wives. The footnote states scholars disagree, with some saying the hitting if only to be symbolic. “as with a toothbrush.” If you never hear from me again I tried hitting my wife symbolically with a toothbrush to see what would happen.
Mobuyus says
This swine you speak of, was he a relative of yours?
Tionico says
that is because you are civilised
The one forcing their values and preferences upon you is not. He is delusional putting his own sorry self at the centre of the universe. HIS problem.
THX 1138 says
She’s a slob. She has no business eating on a bus. She’s the bully with no manners not the Muslim.
Don Davenport says
Maybe they’ll charge her with a “hate crime”.
Wouldn’t surprise me
Mo de Profit says
She’s being selfish, I thought Randism approved of that, but then again so is the muslim so how would the objective police react?
THX 1138 says
She’s being inconsiderate and rude. Politeness and etiquette are part and parcel of rational self-interest. Being rude and obnoxious is not in your rational self-interest.
My rights end where your rights begin and your rights end where mine begin.
Surely the bus company has rules of etiquette like no eating, drinking, smoking, or playing music while riding the bus.
“Legal restraints on certain types of public displays, such as posters or window displays, are proper—but this is an issue of procedure, of ETIQUETTE, not of morality . . .” – Ayn Rand
“It is a wise thing to be polite; consequently, it is a stupid thing to be rude. To make enemies by unnecessary and willful incivility, is just as insane a proceeding as to set your house on fire. For politeness is like a counter–an avowedly false coin, with which it is foolish to be stingy….
One cold winter’s day, a number of porcupines huddled together quite closely in order through their mutual warmth to prevent themselves from being frozen. But they soon felt the effect of their quills on one another, which made them again move apart. Now when the need for warmth once more brought them together, the drawback of the quills was repeated so that they were tossed between two evils, until they had discovered the proper distance from which they could best tolerate one another. Thus the need for society which springs from the emptiness and monotony of men’s lives, drives them together; but their many unpleasant and repulsive qualities and insufferable drawbacks once more drive them apart. The mean distance which they finally discover, and which enables them to endure being together, is politeness and good manners. Whoever does not keep to this, is told in England to ‘keep his distance’. By virtue thereof, it is true that the need for mutual warmth will be only imperfectly satisfied, but on the other hand, the prick of the quills will not be felt.” – Arthur Schopenhauer
Richard Johnston says
Quick, someone call 9-1-1. Someone just walked by on a public sidewalk wearing a NY Knicks jersey which, because of 9-11, traumatizes me.
Alkflaeda says
No, she is being assertive. She has chosen a seat where she has privacy, and doubtless plans to take any packaging with her, She can’t help the fact that her food has an aroma. If she has brought food with her, then it is because there is some reason why she needs to eat in that situation – either due to pressure of work, or because she is in a public facing job where she won’t get a break till later.
Robert L. Kahlcke says
Does Mommy know you’re playing with her laptop ?
Intrepid says
Maybe you should apply your rules on rights when it comes to Christians and Jews, because you definitely think you have the right to insult people…..all the time.
And spare us the Schopenhauer garbage….puhleese.
Richard Johnston says
If there is no right to insult people, I am insulted by your lack of understanding of the 1st Amendment. I’m insulted every time some nitwit ignores the history of Islam, the negative consequences of DEI, and kneels during the playing of the national anthem.
I’m insulted every time liberals concoct positive rights out of thin air.
See FDR;s “Economic Bill of Rights.”
Mobuyus says
On any public transportation if I were to see you I would fart in your direction for your enjoyment.
H.R. Holm says
Excuse me, who threw the first punch, here? Not the lady!! So the intimidator Muslim should have expected any opposition thrown back his way. Who the heck is he to demand that everyone else on the bus submit to *his* preferences vis-a-vis eating? What other types of people’s non-unruly activities in public does this schmuck try and control? Gum chewing, perhaps? Oh, can he ‘smell’ that? In fact, this lady should have ramped up her protest even more by taunting him about the type of sandwich, e.g., “doesn’t it smell gooooo–ooood? Would you like a bite?” Then cut to the chase, throw down the gauntlet, and outright forcefully ask, ‘Well, what are you going to *do* about it, hm? And wait and see how he reacts. Depending on his degree of Muslim uppity-ness, we could see if he would then put up AND shut up.
roberta says
Inflation and rising rent prices are affecting people all over the world. She could be force to work 2 jobs in order to maintain her family. The commute may be the only time she has to eat.
Rude is him making a video of her without permission. If someone wants trouble out of me, break out that ”phone” and start taking photos or videos.
His fast is his personal decision, therefor his personal problem.
Miranda Rose Smith says
When you pointed out that the commute might be het only time to est, you made a very good point that I hadn’t thouhht of.
Alkflaeda says
Do you know, I wondered how anyone had been quick-witted enough to capture that interlude so promptly. And of course,, there’s no picture of him, which there would have been if a third party had been filming it. What’s the betting that he did it expecting that she would comply with his wishes, and he could then upload a video showing how to deal with non-Muslims who munch during Ramadan? The only thing is – his mates probably know which bus he catches. I hope there was no sequel to this brave lady’s stand.
Intrepid says
So I guess in your world supremacist Muslims have the right to dictate what we do. Wait until it happens to you. You will fold like a cheap suit. I always knew how you felt about Muzzies.
Still racking up those downvotes, as usual.
Sword of The Spirit says
Wrong ding bat. Nothing wrong with eating in public. People do it all the time in restaurants and caferias. Muslims drink camel piss. How about that.,
Robert L. Kahlcke says
They also have to stand on a ladder to Fornicate their camels.
Atikva says
Oh please, don’t start with the muslims’ “manners”, especially those related to hygiene!!
THX 1138 says
I’m not defending Islam or the Muslim nor am I defending the senseless and self-sacrificial practice of fasting for Allah. The only rational reason for fasting that I can think of is if you’re having an operation or a medical procedure the next day and an empty stomach and intestinal tract is required.
The pleasure of delicious food is one of the great joys of being alive! But you don’t eat on public transportation as a matter of courtesy.
“The purpose of [a rational] morality is to teach you, not to suffer and die, but to enjoy yourself and live.” – Ayn Rand
Alkflaeda says
Some people’s schedules may mean that they don’t have a choice. I used to do nursing shifts that lasted from 07.00 in the morning till 21.00 at night. The only way that I could get enough sleep to be an asset to my employer rather than a liability was to breakfast on the train – I used to buy a coffee and a croissant at a station outlet en route.
Robert L. Kahlcke says
Go F__K yourself and the camel you rode in on.
Intrepid says
You really have a hard time with people and life in general, don’t you.
Atikva says
What you think about fasting or other religious practices is irrelevant.
This is about yet another attempt by a muslim to impose his way of life to the population of a non-muslim country – thus fulfilling the Muslim Brotherhood’s Strategic Plan For America:
“The Ikhwan [Muslim Brotherhood must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and ‘sabotaging’ its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers…”
No Christian or Jew would ever dream of creating this kind of scene anywhere in a muslim country. But then we are not in the conquest business.
Richard Johnston says
They serve food on some public transportation. You need to get out more.
Liatris Spicata says
I once asked a man who was eating on a commuter train to stop (there were signs posted that you could not eat). He was diabetic (and produced a bracelet to that effect). I had to beat a hasty retreat.
THX 1138 says
I can sell you a bracelet for $1.99
Plus shipping and handling.
This woman did not offer a reasonable excuse for her eating her lunch did she.
Alkflaeda says
Methinks her refusal to stop eating was not altruistic enough for you.
Intrepid says
You couldn’t sell sh*t to a fly.
The woman does not owe you an explanation for anything you arrogant little turd.
Atikva says
Why on earth does she need an excuse to eat in public as long as she does not do any harm. If it were one of those muslim women who defecate publicly in the Paris Metro, it would be a different story – related to hygiene in muslim countries, by the way.
Richard Johnston says
I can point you to places you can improve your ability to think logically at no monetary charge.
H.R. Holm says
She didn’t *need* one, bunky. Not in the least. Stop pressing your phony etiquette where none exists and is not needed.
Alkflaeda says
You do not know what her routine is, or why she needs to eat her lunch on the bus. People don’t usually do that by choice. She could be like my mother when I was a teenager, putting in long hours caring for elderly people and then going on to a second job in the afternoon. She is not bullying because it was the man who interrupted her lunch -she did not approach him. It isn’t as if she went up to him and said “You must be fasting, I can smell the ketones on your breath, so now I’m going to force a chunk of Chelsea bun into your mouth.” (Incidentally, on the subject of buses during Ramadan, I remember an occasion when there was a lady who was complaining loudly on the bus “This here’s a Ramadan bus. I can smell all youse lot haven’t eaten.” Now that, one could class as bullying, but not someone getting on with her own business, eating her lunch in what was probably the only time she had.)
Richard Johnston says
Hey Bus Driver,
Please change today’s route to accommodate me as those fish ‘n chips places we’re passing make it harder for me to fast. If you do not, it has to be because you are Islamophobic.
And that barbecue joint serving pork….
Gabi says
No shes not! You dont know her back story, maybe its the only time and place she has to eat, you dont know…such judgement who do you think you are?
Tionico says
Did the bully mozzie have an yuge shirt on him announcing the claim tha ths is mozlem? If now, how would SHE know?
WHO had the no manners syndrome, now? The one forcing HIS values and habits upon others. You want that sort of environment go ride the NYC subways.
Laine says
We don’t know the woman’s situation. This may be her only chance to eat between two jobs or errands. She may be diabetic and have to eat at scheduled times to control her insulin. A Muslim has no business in a non-Muslim country requiring people who don’t share his faith to abide by the tenets of his faith. There are 57 Islamic countries to which he can hie himself instead of demanding that people in Christian-founded countries make themselves obedient dhimmi (second class citizens to Muslims).
Miranda Rose Smith says
You make some very good points. If the Moslem doesn’t want people eating around him, while he’s observing the Fast of Ramadan, he can live in a Moslem majority country. He should view people eating around him as a test of faith.
Alkflaeda says
Especially as he would probably have similar problems with anyone drinking from a bottle of water. “You’re drinking something, I can hear the bottle gurgling….”
ellen says
The UK is non-muslim? I didn’t know.
Semaphore says
What makes me giggle here is the thought that if she were farting, would he be just as agressive? Or can you fart during your Ramadan fast?
Mark Sochor says
We want more public transportation don’t we?
SPURWING PLOVER says
Tell that little simp to Walk if they don’t want to be offended by Woman eating On a Bus
Mo de Profit says
I’m catching a train next week, I think I’ll take a bacon sandwich with me.
Alkflaeda says
Too late, Ramadan’s over for this year – but you could find out the date for next year and lay in a stock of seriously strong smelling food… Also get recipe leaflets that some food manufacturers issue free and offer them round. Better still, get one of the old-fashioned trays that cinema usherettes used to wear, and walk the aisle offering people snacks. And noisy food – Twiglets or crunchy pickled onions (which double as a smelly food). Make sure you sit where you are visible to as many people as possible, and make a point of having a big linen napkin with you, and ceremoniously tie it round your neck. Plus an elegant small bottle of non-alcoholic drink so that you can make a point of popping the cork. And then go through your lunchbox, minutely examining the contents and commenting “Oooh, yum, Jean’s put in her home-made meat pasty, boy, am I glad I’m NOT FASTING!” When you get on the bus, make a point of asking loudly for the driver to tell you when the bus reaches McDonald’s, as you need to buy something for the return journey. And tell him conversationally what your favourite burger is and why. Oh, and when you’ve finished, ring someone on your mobile and tell them all about the excellent repast you’ve had. In verbal technicolour.
It’s a good job you’ve got a whole year to prepare….. I look forward to seeing the resultant video.
john blackman says
zakir naik boarderd a taxi in london and said aloud to the taxi driver ” brother , please turn off the radio because music is haram , especially western music , which is the music of the disbelievers , and did not exist in the era of mohammed . the taxi driver politely turned off the radio , stopped the taxi , and opened the door . zakir naik asked him , brother what are you doing …? the taxi driver politely answered , ” in the era of the mohammed ; there was no taxi ; no bombs ; no loudspeakers in the mosques ; no ak 47 , no taxis , no suicide bombers , so shut up , get out , and wait for your camel .
Miranda Rose Smith says
BRAVO FOR THAT TAXI DRIVER!!!
Miranda Rose Smith says
I remember being on a bus, late at night
The driver was playing loud, lousy music. I mentioned to.my friend that I was going to ask him to turn it down. She said “Maybe he needs it to stay awake
Mark Dunn says
She is a brave hero, these days you cheer even small victories. What a contrast Jesus said ‘When fast do it in secret.’ Muslims and Hollywood both tell the world, they are fasting.
Miranda Rose Smith says
Where in the Bible does it say that? In Matthew 11:19, it says that Jesus ate and drank so emthusisstically, peoplevcalled him a glutton and s winebibber
Atikva says
Matthew 6:16-18
6:16 “When you fast, DO NOT LOOK SOMBER as the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their faces to show others they are fasting. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.
6:17 “BUT WHEN YOU FAST, PUT OIL ON YOUR HEAD AND WASH YOUR FACE,
6:18 “SO THAT IT WILL NOT BE OBVIOUS TO OTHERS THAT YOU ARE FASTING, but only to your Father, who is unseen; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
In other words, don’t show off, keep it to yourself.
Carla says
Matthew 6:16-18
New Living Translation
16 “And when you fast, don’t make it obvious, as the hypocrites do, for they try to look miserable and disheveled so people will admire them for their fasting. I tell you the truth, that is the only reward they will ever get. 17 But when you fast, comb your hair[a] and wash your face. 18 Then no one will notice that you are fasting, except your Father, who knows what you do in private. And your Father, who sees everything, will reward you.”
Tionico says
that’s because they seek the approval of MEN not of God. but men can;t get you into paradise, can they?
PChestershiremeister says
What we will see next in the UK are people, like this woman (an unbeliever), being arrested for not following sharia. They will then be dumped into prison after a show trial or just executed. Islam means submission … not peace. Once a country or nation passes a certain percentage of muslims then these same people will start domineering and persecuting non-muslims around them more freely … and in some parts legally … we know the words to this tune.
Semaphore says
It appears that point has already been reached. This man’s fasting is his own choice, as is his choice to be Moslem. He has no civil right to impose it on those around him. Yet here he is, with impunity, acting like this woman owes him an apology. Further evidence that Islam is an intolerant and barbarian faith, incompatible with any other culture. Please, people, pay attention.
Kasandra says
This is what Islam does. It starts with little demands and accommodations which get ever larger. It starts with stuff like this, then demands halal school lunches, then public calls to prayer, then public calls to prayer using loudspeakers, then blocking off whole streets and sidewalks to perform prayers outdoors, then separate Islamic courts and use of sharia in civil courts, and pretty soon, little by little, you are becoming one step away from being an Islamic country and then, since you are only a step away, it’s not a big deal to become an Islamic country. This is how Islam shows you who has the power in what was once your own non-Islamic society.
Tionico says
When Thomas Jefferson was figuring out how to deal with the piracy aling the north coast of Africa, he got a copy of their book of satanic verses and studied it to understand what makes them tick. THEN he took action. Hard, fast, and continuous action, to end the piracy. After a while they sued for peace, but their terms were far short of unconditional surrender. Ol’ Tom said NO DICE and lit off the cannons again. When he had them poinded into a position of utter surrender the Treaty of Tripolu=i was signed and they withered away.Problem solved. HE pushed back unttil they’d had enough. He had realised this was the ONLY way to bring them to heel and protect our shipping.
Now there is no one half as smart as ol’Thomas, and they know it. SO they think they are in control, and will until we stop letting them.
Verneoz says
This action by the intolerant adherent of Islam documents why Islam is incompatible with Democracy. His sticture of conformance also explains why the world’s 1.5 billion Muslims contribute virtually nothing to mankind in the hard sciences.
Alkflaeda says
Interestingly, I found a reference that suggests that their claim to have pioneered advanced mathematics doesn’t stand up either. It’s from an old Jewish Quarterly Review, and you can find a scan of the book if you put the reference at the end (not the page number) into archive.org.
“Under the heading Mathematics the series of articles in the Bibliotheca Mathematica, 1893 seq., by Steinschneider, Mathematik bet den Juden, might be mentioned. Perhaps the most important fact in this connexion is Curtze’s discovery (Adéhandlungen zur Geschichte der Mathematik, Leipzig, 1902) that the Practica Geometriae of Leonardo Pisano, considered the main source for the introduction of Arabic geometry into Europe, is based entirely on the Latin translation of the Hebrew geometry of Abraham Bar Hiyya. The original of the latter has been published by M. Guttmann (Berlin, 1912-3).” p.533 jewishquarterlyr10drop
Clem Alford says
Why are Muslims so hell bent on forcing their religion and way of life on everyone. Praying on the street. Fircingnithers to observe their fasting. Then what next? Pedophilia, throwing gays off high buildings and killing apostates. These people been to get grip of the millennium they are living in!!
I had one playing his Muslim prays on his ipod. I told him to use headphones. He did.
Atikva says
It’s called jihad, and it is played on 2 different levels: violence on one side, and stealth/lies (the bigger, the better) on the other.
And for the record: Islam is not a religion, it’s a totalitarian ideology masquerading as a religion.
“Being a muslim really is not having a relationship with God, it’s a contract with the state. You are obliged to go to a mosque, to behave like a Moslem and to abide by the laws of sharia.” (Nonie Darwish)
What’s required of you as a muslim is not faith, but submission to the authorities diktat.
Brown Wolf says
LOL! This made my day. A black woman telling a Muslim man off. That was awesome!
Alkflaeda says
When I was a teenager, my brother and sister went out to get some heavy bags of dog biscuits, and spotted a couple from a particular persuasion coming towards them. !”Quick!” said my sister “Carry both those bags and get three paces behind me.” My brother complied. They apparently got a thunderous look from the male half of the approaching couple (I guess his wife was too heavy laden, what with the shopping and being pregnant, to look up).
Alkflaeda says
We need more ladies like that one, with courage and presence of mind. The fact that she told him what she does when she fasts probably added insult to injury, as it made it clear that she has a faith herself. Ramadan for the year 2025 starts on the evening of Friday, February 28th lasting 30 days and ending at sundown on Saturday, March 29, if anyone wants to know when not to stop eating or drinking on public transport.
atillathehoney says
Lol… clash of cultures… neither which belong in Europe and certainly not in Great Britain. For those posters who think vulgar behaviors like clipping your nails, eating, flossing and such are perfectly okay in public– you’re ALL wrong. Nobody wants to be around you as we are Western peoples.
Lisa D Letto says
To add insult to injury, the J6 prisoners not only are denied trials, they have to wait until after 9pm for supper due to Isla.
one Kirk2entrprize says
She should be very glad that he was not an actual Moh worshipping jihadi yet! She would have been carried off the bus to a morgue! In the history of the world, there’s never been a more ruthlessly sadistic “religion”! Never forget that their goal is world peace, however, their version of “Peace” is when everyone bows down to their pedophile prophet. Always remember: If you are a ‘person-of-the-book” (Christian) you only have 3 choices:
1. Become a jihadist, 2. Fight to the death or 3. Become the Jihadist’s slave. If you’re not a Christian, there is no 3rd choice.
