Muslim Man Offers Free Hugs While Blindfolded in Manchester

 

Faizel Patel, Radio Islam News – 30-05-2017

Just days after the terror attack that left 22 people dead, a 22-year-old man blindfolded Muslim man from Manchester in the UK has offered free hugs to passers-by as a “small acts of kindness’.

Video blogger Baktash Noori put a sign out in front of him, which read: “I’m Muslim and I trust you. Do you trust me enough for a hug?”

Baktash filmed the experience of waiting to see if anyone would take up his offer admitting he was surprised at the emotional response it got from people.

He says the first 30 seconds were nerve racking.

“But once I got that first hug with a lovely comment from that gentleman in my video, it made me feel a whole lot better. With every hug, the comments I received were amazing, some were getting all teary and it’s not hard to tell by a person’s hug and tone of voice how much better their and my day became because of this.”

Baktash says he hopes the film would show how simple acts of contact can make a difference – and unite the city’s communities.
