A very touching video has surfaced showing many Britons standing in queue to shower a Muslim man with hugs, in a heartwarming sign of love and respect, reported the Daily Star.

In an attempt to know if people would accept him as a person regardless of his faith, a UK Muslim stands blindfolded outside a train station in east London asking people to hug him if they trust him.

“People call me a terrorist because I’m a Muslim. If you trust me, hug me”, written by a Muslim vlogger, Hassan Salemi, on a cardboard put beside him outside a Stratford station.

The video is part of a social experiment in which Hassan puts his faith in humanity to test, and is being remarkably rewarded by total strangers.

The clip starts with Hassan, 24, standing in front of hidden cameras with his arms outstretched to see if the people would hug him or not.

But it’s not long before one young woman approaches Hassan and embraces him – sparking a flurry of passers-by waiting for the opportunity to give the lad a hug.

After a few short moments the vlogger becomes surrounded with well-wishers of every description queuing up to give him a cuddle.

One kind woman who hugged him for 13 seconds said: “No matter what religion you are from you are a human first and people who are terrorists are not humans – they belong to no religion.”

After receiving hugs for over 30 minutes an emotional Hassan turned to the camera and said: “I’m a Muslim, I’m not a terrorist.

“After everything that’s been happening around the world – I’m so happy to say that a stranger can come and hug a stranger just to let you know that you’re not a terrorist.”

This is not the first kind of such social experiments staged by Muslim individuals in an attempt to restore their faith in humanity amidst series of recent racial slurs and Islamophobia attacks

In January, a young British Muslim woman also produced a video, in which she asked people for hugs, to see how they would treat her for being a Muslim.

According to a video footage of the project, 18-year-old Muna Adan, a student from East London, was thrilled to see people responding with an incredible show of love.

For Adan, the experiment restored her faith in humanity over religious bigotries.

Similar “trust hug” social experiments have happened in Sweden, Canada, and France, with equally moving results.
