"You don’t have any bombs on you, do you?" a Donald Trump supporter in Washington shot back at Middle East Eye reporter Osha Al-Mossallami who approached him for an interview on Friday.

The protester, who has been identified as Ruben Israel, the organiser of the Street Preachers network which describes its work as "confrontational evangelism", then asked our reporter: "Are you Muslim?"

"Would that change anything?" she asked.

"Yes it does," he replied curtly.
