The video footage of the victim woman emerged after the blasphemy incident. She rejected the claims of disrespecting Islam. She claimed she did nothing on purpose. The women commonly wore clothes with Arabic calligraphy in the Gulf States, including Saudi Arabia.
The garment sellers also agreed with the victim woman. They claimed that the clothes industry encouraged Islamic/Arabic calligraphy use on clothing. In addition, the alphabet and words on her garment had nothing to do with sacred verses.
According to eyewitnesses, the majority of charged in the mob were either customers, visitors, or onlookers. However, the garment sellers tried to rescue the woman because they knew the shirt with Arabic calligraphy print available in the market.
Even after the shopkeepers’ explanation, the mob divided into groups with diverse points of view. Some charged fanatics continued to persist on the blasphemy claim.
Please note that the girl was actually wearing an “Arabic calligraphy” shirt which the mob assumed was “Quranic verse”. The word written on her shirt was “حلوة” which means “Beautiful”.
