A DRIVER who was mocked in a vile Islamophobic road rage rant has revealed his family has received death threats since he shared the video on social media.
Faizar Kahn told The Sun Online today how he is scared for his wife and two kids and no longer feels safe in his own home.
He said: “I am a bit scared because of this incident because I have two little babies – a two year old and 10 month old.
“My wife and I don’t feel safe because we don’t know who this guy is and since I put the video on social media people are calling and threatening me.
“They are telling me take the video down and they are saying they know where I live. I am scared for my family and myself.
“I’ve had nightmares and it won’t leave my head. I’ve had nightmares every night since it’s happened.”
The Heathrow Airport worker, who was identified because he was wearing his employee badge, was filmed by Faizar after he felt physically threatened at a Heston Services on Tuesday.
The dad of two said the confrontation started as he was trying to merge into the right lane on the M4 when the man tried to stop him from coming in.
‘I’VE HAD NIGHTMARES’
Faizar, from Uxbridge, London, said: “I got in front of him in the lane and he started flashing and beeping at me.
“He then came up next to me and made a gun sign to his head while looking at me.”
The man is said to have tried to run Faizar off the road before getting in front of him when they pair ended up at the service station.
He added: “He started bashing my window and when I got out he’s blocked me in between the door and the car.
“He started swearing at me in my own language [Punjabi]. He was very aggressive.”
In the video, the man is heard sneering “Allah was a paedophile” at motorist Faizar after the pair started arguing at Heston Services.
VILE ROAD RAGE RANT
The shocking clip starts with the sound of smashing glass as the pair stand next to Faizar’s van.
He is heard gasping: “what did you do that for” before the man sticks his face in the camera and laughs “do you like goats?”
When Faizar replied that he does, the man simulated sex with an imaginary goat.
In an apparent reference to Ramadan, he added: “Go and have something to eat mate, and you’ll be happy.
“Have something to eat mate. Do you know what Allah is? He’s a paedophile!”
He replies: “There you racist c***, I got you.”
Faizar said he contacted the airport worker’s management but claims he was told it was unlikely he would be punished if he wasn’t on duty at the time of the incident.
He said yesterday: “I was enraged, and it upset me a lot. You see and you hear incidents like this all the time.
“I feel like it’s getting to a point where because I have a beard, and because I have brown skin, I must be a Muslim.”
A Scotland Yard spokeswoman said on Friday: “Detectives are investigating a racially/religiously aggravated incident where threats were made to a man following an altercation between two drivers at Parkway, Hounslow.
“The incident took place at around 2pm on Tuesday, 14 May.

“It was reported that a male suspect got out of his vehicle and made threats and derogatory anti-Muslim comments towards the victim before driving off. The suspect also caused minor damage to the victim’s car.
“Officers are investigating; no arrests have been made. Enquiries continue.”
The Sun Online has approached the man’s employers for comment.
