Well yes, and also yes if this stranded woman took Ardern's "they are us" speech too literally. I'm just saying it's possible this woman has never worn a hijab in her life, but looked around and saw that it was the correct thing to do in this time or mourning. The bus driver might think this gesture has a lot of other connotations that the woman appears to be ignoring.
That said, I am proud of what Ardern has done, she has extended an olive branch while almost all other countries (except Canada, but they're a bit politically touched in the head at the moment) are fed up with the chaos Islam brings to their streets.
Now, Ardern has shown that we can denounce someone who murders Muslims in broad daylight with zero remorse. Not only that, but the majority of the western world admire her actions. When the next terrorist attack happens and the perpetrators scream "Allāhu akbar", it will be the turn of the Muslim community to stand up and say "These terrorists are not us. They are wrong to kill in the name of Islam."
