Two Metro Vancouver women say they were threatened by two men who were seen carrying Palestinian flags on Monday night.

The friends had just left a vigil to honour Israel’s dead, and had no idea they were being followed until they were confronted.

“You could see the hate in his eyes,” one of them told CTV News.

They’ve agreed to share their story, provided CTV News doesn’t reveal their identities, because they fear for their safety.

When they were confronted, the woman told the men to “go away.”

But they didn’t, and yelled at the women in Arabic.

“They told me that he will rape me, and my pants will bleed, and I would remember it for a very long time,” one recalled calmly.

“The younger one, he said that he would slice me,” she said.

    Eh, plenty of Muslims are quite decent people so I wouldn’t go that far. Although there is a pattern with extremism.

      They are decent people who happen to be Muslim. Islam didn’t make them peaceful. If it truly was a religion of peace it would turn every aggressive Muslim into serene people. It’s the people who raise them who do, who teach their kids to basically ignore a large swath of their religious scripture.
