'she wears it because she wants to be modest with her body, not because of people like you who are going to sit there and disrespect her' ms eden said she became really upset after the woman allegedly branded 'all muslims isis supporters' and insulted the woman's husband and headscarf ms eden was not having a bar of it 'that is not her doing it that is a minority of people not a majority of people ok? 'it doesn't matter what they're doing have some respect, have some respect,' she said, as the woman continued on her tirade 'it doesn't matter it doesn't matter what's that got to do with this poor lady? what's that got to do with her?' 'she was saying some pretty horrible and hurtful things before i spoke up then as soon i started defending them she stopped' the muslim couple told stacey eden (left, right) that they were 'very grateful' for her stand  'nothing,' the ranter replied 'exactly!' ms eden fired back 'you're the one who started the argument!' the woman said ms eden then instructed the woman to be silent 'no, you're the one sitting there saying things under your breath, shut your mouth, simple 'you shut your mouth,' the woman replied 'no, you shut your mouth you've got nothing nice to say, don't say anything, simple' ms eden recorded a short snippet of the incident   not the whole alleged tirade   on her phone, ending with the passenger telling her to 'breathe' she told daily mail australia the muslim couple and the angry woman alighted the train at sydney international airport ms eden told daily mail australia the couple alighted the train at sydney international airport  'i missed my stop because i wanted to stay on and make sure they were ok,' said ms eden, who was on her way home to mascot  'i missed my stop because i wanted to stay on and make sure they were ok,' said ms eden, who was on her way home to mascot ms eden said the woman was saying 'horrible and hurtful things' 'she told me if i was in their country i would have been stoned to death because i was wearing a dress 'i missed my stop because i wanted to stay on and make sure they were ok,' said ms eden, who was on her way home to mascot  'she was saying a lot of things i just got to the point where i had heard enough' the muslim couple were 'very grateful' for her stand, she said police and sydney trains have not yet received any reports of the incident the islamophobia register australia group issued a statement praising ms eden's actions shortly after daily mail australia's report 'we are heartened by stacey's actions   she is a reflection of 'team humanity' and we hope that her actions inspire others to stand up against racial or religious vilification,' it said the group said they were disappointed by the remarks of the woman in the video 'the sentiments expressed by the woman however sadly form part of the broader false and deeply damaging narrative whereby the criminal actions of groups like daesh [islamic state] are extrapolated to all 15+ billion muslims' the group's founder, mariam veiszadeh, told daily mail australia incidents of abuse against muslim women were becoming increasingly common ''i'm very conscious of ensuring that i have sufficient storage space on my phone to ensure i will be able to record incidents should i either be the victim in an incident (or a witness),' she said a hijab wearing woman told the abc last month she was subject to a physical and verbal assault on a sydney train, with a man allegedly shoulder charging her and hitting her with his bag and leg mariam veiszadeh (pictured), a lawyer and public advocate for the rights of muslims, says incidents such as these are increasingly common  'i'm very conscious of ensuring that i have sufficient storage space on my phone to ensure i will be able to record incidents should i either be the victim in an incident (or a witness)' mariam has been the target of racist attacks herself  'it was a fully crowded train but nobody said anything people were just listening i know they were scared,' hina said as for ms eden, she told daily mail australia she was already overwhelmed by positive comments she had received online, having posted the video just yesterday 'good on you for sticking up for whats right more people should be doing the same,' wrote punter rachel lambert 'well i don't know you but thank you, thank you for understanding,' said shahiq sarkar overwhelming response: ms eden has been bombarded with positive comments since the video appeared online  'i hope some day when you need help and are boxed in a corner someone as bright as you is there to support you just like you did for those poor souls 'we really need to look for the best in people and understand that its a few rotten apples who try to spoil the lot 'all the best wishes for you' one comment even asked: 'ru single? lol' do you know more? danielpiotrowski@mailonlinecom
