A blindfolded Muslim man conducts a social experiment in Paris.

A Muslim man stood near a mourning site at Place de la Republique, blindfolded, with two signs declaring “I’m a Muslim, but I’m told that I’m a terrorist” and “I trust you, do you trust me? If yes, hug me.”

Hundreds of people hugged him.

This experiment is similar to one in another video that went viral earlier this year, after the Charlie Hebdo attacks.
