LANGHORNE, Pa. (Newsradio 1020 KDKA) - A Muslim woman was told to go back where she came from Tuesday after an encounter at the Sesame Street themed amusement park, Sesame Place in Langhorne, PA.
The encounter captured on camera shows Zafirah Moore being yelled and cursed at by a woman in line in the water attractions section of the park.
Moore told CBS Philadelphia in an exclusive interview she was wearing her Muslim attire at the time and feels the woman’s comments are racist.

The woman is also seen giving Moore the middle finger and at one point tries to grab her phone yelling for her to stop “taking pictures” of her.
Children can be heard crying in the background.
Sesame Place sent a message to Moore that read,
“Sesame Place only welcomes respect for others and does not tolerate this type of behavior. The guest depicted in that video was promptly removed from the park and will not be permitted to return. Creating safe and enjoyable experiences for all guests is our top priority.”
