Muslim brethren came out to hug anti-sharia protester [Video]

A lone protester, identified as Annie from Lancanster, Ohio was responding to the ‘Global Rally For Humanity’ a facebook grassroot Facebook campaign that called for protest in more than 30 mosques and islamic centers around the country on October 9 and 10.

Even though majority of the planned rallies were canceled days before the event and the Facebook page promoting the protest has been disabled, Anne showed up with anti- islamic rhetoric homemade signs to the protest ground.

She seemed surprised that no one came out for the protest.

"Gee, I can't believe these guys asked me to come and then didn't show up," she said.

In the video, she shared her concerns about Islam and American Muslims in particular. she decried the actions of ISI and repeatedly claimed the Quran encouraged violence.

She said that she was fighting to prevent the Sharia law in America and seemed sure that President Barack Obama was not a Christian.

Some Muslim Brethren in an act of Kindness came out to offer her water and invited her for a conversation inside despite the fact she came out to protest against them.

She was adamant about not stepping into the center until one member of the mosque closed in on her for a hug.

Cynthia DeBoutinkhar wrote about the experience on Facebook.

"Something came over me and I went up to her and asked if I could give her a hug. I wouldn't let go of the hug. I felt her body go from tense to soft and I asked her to please come inside with me. She was actually AFRAID! I asked if I look scary to her. She said I didn't. I promised her I'd stay right by her side the whole time.

When we walked in, me carrying one of her two signs, everyone was waiting for her in the lobby. We all began applauding. I stayed by her side as I promised."

Imran Malik, president of the center's Outreach Department, said that Annie was given a tour of the center and a copy of the Quran in English before she left.

"We felt bad for her, When you're single and facing so many people, you go on the defensive. But love won," Malik told The Huffington Post.

Before departing from the mosque, without her signs, Annie reportedly told Cynthia, "I had no idea Muslims could be nice to me, even after I stood out there with those signs. Sorry."

Malik hopes that Annie will continue to engage with Muslims.

"I'm hoping this will be a journey to friendship, rather than further disorientation, my hope is that she'll be able to relay this message to the other groups that she's associated with," he said.

I believe there are only two kinds of people in this world regardless of tribes, country, religion... The Good and The Bad.

Anne's ordeal explains the saying kill them with love and kindness even if they throw rocks at you.
