Netizens react to the viral video.

One user wrote, “If you’re disrespectful, you will face (literally) the consequences. She got what she deserved.” Another wrote, “Usually the security forces in Mecca are violent, but the security forces in Medina are so nice and helpful.” One user questioned, “My Muslim brothers, is this right?” A fourth user wrote, “She got what she deserved, and she will also be punished by law and then deported. Let this be a lesson to all savages out there who think just because they chose to be Muslim, they can come to our country and do whatever they want. Our cities, our security, and our country are not to be messed with. If you come from uncivil places and think you can’t be civil, then simply you are not welcome here.”
