(WRC) A Muslim family went to a hospital in Northern Virginia to celebrate a joyous occasion: the birth of a newborn baby.
But they say hospital staff humiliated them by telling them they looked “scary,” and threatened to kick them out.
Visiting hours were nearly over when the Zahr family went to Inova Fair Oaks Hospital in Fairfax, Virginia, in early December. They wanted to visit Ahmed Zahr’s newborn baby.
When they got up to the third-floor birthing center, they were confronted by a security guard, Arwa Zahr, the newborn’s aunt, said in an exclusive interview with News4.
“He screams and he says, ‘You’re not allowed to be here!’ And then he said, ‘You know, you look scary,'” she recalled. “I was shocked, like, ‘Did he say that?'”
