Racists have been sharing a photo of a woman caught up in the Westminster terror attacks on Twitter.
Showing a woman in a brown headscarf, some Twitter users called her a ‘monster’ for being on her phone.
Yet Londoners pointed out white people were doing the same and she showed signs of being distressed.
The as-of-yet unidentified woman was snapped walking past a woman lying on the ground of Westminster Bridge.
A woman is on the phone, another is blowing her nose presumably from crying, and a man is standing with his hands in his pockets.
But Twitter users thought they would share their own interpretation of the photo.
The image started going viral when ‘proud American’ Texas Lone Star shared it on Twitter saying: ‘Muslim woman pays no mind to the terror attack, casually walks by a dying man while checking phone.’
He added: ‘#BanIslam’
Some mosques are already stepping up security in response to the terrorist attack being linked to Islam.

Sadly, some British users supported these views:

Where does Donald Trump fit into this. At least Trump is man enough to try and stop them coming in to his country
