No this is not fake I was in that mosque and lady is from Indian Hindu and she is not mentally I’ll and she done that in purpose because she thought American authorities will let her do as freedom of speech but she was abusing the people in the mosque and then people called the police then she was taken away forcefully but if this was in India I don’t think the police would have come

*She is indeed a hindu woman and her name is Pooja Malhotra as mentioned by the Assistant Deputy Chief of Virginia Police Department*

[zackabee]

Actually she’s Hindu 😂. No reason for a Muslim females to do that. We don’t do that you hear me.

[humzanafees]

I was at that mosque. She’s a Hindu woman who spreads Islamophobia. She needs to be taken care of

[TechnoKarachi]

Virginia's chief deputy assistant clarified that this woman indeed belongs to an indian Hindu family and thought she could verbally abuse people in the name of freedom of speech because its US and her name is "pooja Malhotra".

Muslim women don’t wear clothing like she does. No way!
This post is not fake.
This woman is a Hindu/Sanatan-religion follower clearly evident from her appearance.

This is the Adams center in Northern Virginia. I’m surprised this happened. This is a very highly educated area, a decent amount of people with high incomes and Lots of diversity and tolerance.

Claim: Video of a Hindu woman disrupting Eid Prayers in Virginia.

Fact: This incident took place during the Eid Prayers on 21 April 2023 at the All Dulles Area Muslim Society (ADAMS), Sterling, Virginia. The ADAMS community clarified on social media that the woman seen in the video is mentally ill and belongs to the Muslim community. Hence the claim made in the post is False.
