ALPHARETTA, GA — Perry Greene, the ex-husband of U.S. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene issued a public apology after harassing Muslim women at the Avalon Shopping Center parking garage in Alpharetta in a viral video.

Perry Greene reached out to the attorney of the victims, CEO Lawyer Ali Awad directly, and identified himself as the man seen in the viral video, according to officials.

According to the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the incident occurred when a group of young Muslim women were praying in the parking lot of the Alpharetta shopping center. The women say the man followed them in a Cybertruck and began shouting racist and Islamophobic remarks.

In a video of the encounter that has since gone viral, the man can be heard yelling phrases such as “Go back to your country,” “We don’t want you worshipping out here,” and “You are worshipping a false god.” CAIR-Georgia confirmed that all of the women involved are American-born.

On Friday, he expressed his public apology and said he met with the victims privately at Masjid Jafar. He also attended the Friday sermon and prayer.

“I humbly apologize to them, because nobody should be treated that way, and that’s not the right way for us to treat anybody with any differences... hopefully they’ll find it in their heart to forgive me,” he said.

“We chose to allow Mr. Greene to come to our community and issue an apology directly to the family. And although the wounds are not completely healed, because when you take a piece of glass and you throw it on the ground and you look at it and you say I’m sorry, even if you try to glue those pieces back together, it’s never the same,” Awad said.
