Two Muslim women were harassed in a California ice cream parlor by a fellow customer who yelled, "I don't want them in my country." Malaak Ammari, 21, and Nura Takkish, 22, who are American citizens, praised the shop employee who refused to serve the man and calmly asked him to leave, The Huffington Post reports. Takkish later uploaded a video of the incident on Twitter, along with the caption: "When you just trying to eat your ice cream but Trump supporters won't let you live."
