Id say Dont push and tke my child away from them

I don't talk to other people's kids. I just direct mine.
I chose to tell the child to stop as I think moving mine away is making my child think they are doing somthing wrong.
The mum was choosing to pretend not to see.
If that was my child pushing I would go straight over to get them to apologize

I don't talk to other people's kids because I don't know their parents and if I talk to a child there is a chance of whatever I said being misunderstood or misconstrued. I'm not dealing with "mom that lady was mean to me" and then some pissed off parent. I will say that if the kids in the park were a bunch of Muslim children and I knew that. I would say something.

I would tell the child thats not nice and then speak with the Mum

Had a similar thing with biting at soft play. Smaller child tried to bite my daughter, I intervened and said ‘no thank you we don’t bite’ asked my LG if she was okay, and reminded her she can use her words to say if she doesn’t like something.
When I saw the mum a few mins later, I let her know her kid had tried to bite, and that I had said something, because if my kid had been the one biting I would like to know, and I would like to know if and what someone said to her about it. I was polite and made it clear that my daughter was fine and they were all enjoying playing otherwise. I’d do the same with pushing or any unkind behaviour like hitting or kicking.
