The Australian Cricket star, Usman, Khawaja, attacked media organizations by a double standard on social networks after two Muslim women with Hijabs were attacked in a shopping center in northern Melbourne last Thursday.
Victoria Police said a 30 -year -old woman and a 26 -year -old woman were attacked by the same individual at the Pacific Empress shopping center in two separate incidents. Police investigations are ongoing.
“There is absolutely any place in our society for discriminatory, racist or hate -based behavior and such activity will not be tolerated,” said a police spokesman.
“The researchers believe that the victims were attacked because women used head covers and are dealing with incidents as prejudice motivated,” the statement added.
Police have not made charges for the alleged incident. The researchers are analyzing CCTV while looking to identify the woman who is understood that she has left the scene with a man, after the alleged attacks.
It is said that Mrs. Al-ESawie, 26, was confronted by an attacker and was “absolutely stunned” while she was going through the mall during her lunch, according to the action against the manager of Cases of Islamaphobia, Mariam Ardati.
Usman Khawaja has criticized media organizations after an alleged attack against two Muslim women in Melbourne
Khawaja said that “the media have never discussed attacks against the Islamic community or any other community just like anti -Semitic attacks”
It is said that the alleged incident took place at the Pacific Epping shopping center last week.
The organization affirms that Al -ssawie was supposedly “beaten, slapped and pushed to the ground.” He stayed with bruises throughout his body and a possible back injury.
Ardati also claims that the officers did not give him an incident or monitoring number with the victim after the attack. She states that the victim had not had police news on Saturday.
It is understood that the Victorian Police asked Mrs. Al-Aasawie to deliver a statement in person on Tuesday afternoon.
Victorian Minister Jacinta Allan said that “evil attacks against two young Muslim are simply horrible.”
“This type of evil, evil and evil, in this case, Islamophobia, has absolutely any place in our community.”
When observing the report, which was published on Tuesday morning, Khawaja turned to Facebook and X to criticize the media, hitting media organizations for their reports on the matter.
'The media have never discussed attacks against the Islamic community or any other community just like anti -Semitic attacks. All are deplorable, 'he wrote on Facebook.
“But there is no way that anti -Semitism is less or more than Islamaphobia and vice versa,” continued the 38 -year -old man.
'Both deserve the same weight that both are relevant. But the media will never treat them the same.
Khawaja also published multiple publications about X, where he said that an increase of 500 percent in the number of Islamophobic incidents was reported.

'And as a result, people will always think that one is more frequent than the other. But that is not true.
The Australian test opener observed reports that arose online detailing the incident and wrote in X: 'Last Thursday this happened.
'Absolutely atrocious. No one has mentioned or talked about it.
'It will be swept under the carpet as all attacks against the Islamic community. The Prime Minister and definitely not the opposition leader will mention it. It is surprising how the world of the world is.
He followed him with several other publications in X, writing: 'We are going to clarify things. What the nurses said was also atrocious. But look at the media coverage that was obtained. Then a real attack occurs. And nothing. It happened four days ago.
The action against Islamophobia is an initiative led by the community that provides members of the Muslim community supporting measures against Islamophabic incidents. They help those who have undergone prejudices to seek justice and seek to raise awareness about the effects that discrimination may have.
It is understood that Ardati met Al-Esawie's story on social networks. He had tried to inform and warn other members of his community about his alleged attacker, but it is understood that he was threatened online.
'He went home and did not feel safe to get out of his house alone. She did the position in good faith, “said Ardati.
She added: 'The members of the Muslim community are shocked but not surprised by the attacks.
'For many months, Islamophobic incidents and hate crimes against Muslims have been increasing, but little has been done to address it and most have not received attention from the media.
“More real measures should be taken before someone is killed, or we see another Christchurch massacre just at our door.”
According to the Islamophobia registry of Australia, there has been an increase of 510 percent in Islamophobic incidents that are reported from the Israel-Gaza War.
Khawaja pointed out the statistics, writing at X: 'More than 500 percent in informed Islamophobic incidents. Where is justice? It is not just anti -Semitic attacks that are increasing.
“Instead of having an exclusive anti -Semitic summit, what if we stop collecting sides and include Islamophobia for registration and give it the weight it deserves”?
Federal deputy Julian Hill pointed out the increase in Islamophobic incidents, writing in X: 'Muslim Australians have every right to feel safe and included while they are engaged in their businesses in the community. Anyone who experiences Islamophobic or racist incidents should not remain silent, but inform and seek help.
