This was done and published by the Macquarie University Muslim Student’s Association and what is as exciting as the result is the positive appreciation of the students themselves about the country in which they live. This is from the text of the accompanying story:

It’s the reaction of passersby that makes you proud to be Australian; in every single scene, people young and old, rush to the defence of those being mistreated.

Saleh was overwhelmed by the positive response and shared on his Facebook page his delight at how inclusive and instinctively protective Australians are.

“I’m not going to lie… the lady at the end of this video almost made me cry,” he wrote.

“This social experiment was possibly one of the most eye opening experiences ever. EVERY SINGLE PERSON STOPPED and interfered. NOWHERE ELSE IN THE WORLD have we seen such a response!”

“This video is hard proof that the Australian public do not welcome hate against Muslims. Yes it does occur.

“But it is clearly not welcome.”
