US Teen Spits On Muslim Classmate, Tries To Yank Off Her Hijab: Report

[boomboomcheema]

New York: A 16-year-old Muslim girl was spat upon and abused by her classmate who even tried to pull her hijab off in a city school in the US.

The 15-year-old boy was on an elevator with the victim inside the High School for Law Enforcement and Public Safety in Jamaica in the New York City when he called her a "Muslim b---h!" and spit on her, police said.
He then tugged on her hijab in an attempt to rip it off her head, they said.

The girl then told school officials, who reported the incident to police.

Police questioned the teen and charged him with aggravated harassment and disorderly conduct, New York Daily reported.

He will be charged as a juvenile and so his name was not released. The victim was rattled but not physically harmed, police said.

"This incident is troubling, and this type of behavior has no place in our schools," Department of Education spokeswoman Toya Holness said.

Bad parenting if you preach hate at home or yeah there is difference between humans on basis of religion/culture/skin tone/gender etc kids will do such despicable acts..

Trump's America.

But supposedly according to PP pundits he'd be "better for Muslims" - how's that working out ?

More to do with rampant Islamophobia in US than bad parenting.

 

[TalentSpotterPk]

Absolutely disgusting and despicable behaviour.

These Terrorists God knows who the hell is behind them all have created so much hate against Muslims in West.

This is a Case of Islamophobia aswell as Bad Parenting. Parents of 2017 do not have time to teach their children ethics, morals and how to respect people's privacy.

The school is in Jamaica, Queens in New York so highly unlikely that the student was white. Could be black or Latino.

Trump had to indulge in Muslim Bashing to win the elections however now he's trying his best to make amends and improve relations with the Muslim World.

US is still a safe country for the Muslims. This is nothing but a case of bullying which happens in schools everywhere.

Americans really were in a tough spot when it came to deciding between Trump and Hillary, so many abstained from voting given Hilary's past; she just had the qualifications to sugar coat everything Trump is doing now

 

[shaz619]

Really feel for Muslims in America, you guys are so unlucky. It seems the only way to survive there would be to turn into coconuts sadly in order to prevent oppression, they should come to the UK it's not perfect but much better in terms of tolerance [MENTION=43583]KingKhanWC[/MENTION]

At least he got punished. Muslims parents should get some defense classes for their kids. If this was me no way he would have been able to pull my Hijab off.

I would recommend avoiding Hijabs, Niqabs and whatever makes you standout in appearance and mix-up with the crowd. Less chances of getting attacked.

I think the main difference is in the UK were are not brainwashed or pressured into being patriots. In the US they are all about the stars and stripes, people with national flags outside of the their houses etc. This then breeds a mindset where anyone who is seen as unpatriotic as Muslims are seen by many ignorant people, they are looked down upon. In the UK we know it's a great country because of our experience living here.

There are many Muslim that wear Hijabs in India. Should they stop wearing it if they become so easily identifiable and targeted by some mindless thugs and yobs ??

What about Sikhs who many rednecks mistake for Arabs, should they stop wearing turbans in America ?

Easy to preach for simplistic solutions on your cushy armchair but it shouldn't be the victims who have to take drastic action because Next time it will be something else.

 

[GrandMaster]

There are only two options,
- Desis can't be desis in western countries, you tend to get targetted. Either you change your appearance and be like them OR
- Come back to your home country and live the way you want.

It's a one-off case which happens everywhere including India and Pakistan. Don't Christians and Hindus in Pakistan get targetted in the name of blasphemy?

When in Rome..

 

[troodon]

Never show your faith or religious affiliation or symbols when you are in a foreign country or for that matter anywhere. Too many bigots and crazy people out there .

Better be safe than sorry. I tell my wife not to wear bindi outside unless it is for a temple visit.

 

[Saeed]

They are in America not Rome, that's why the boy got punished. But you can quote that again when Pakistan or Saudis force someone to dress in a certain way.

Are you being sarcastic? Pakistan and Saudis do force people to dress in a certain way.

Comprehension problems? Yes they do. Are you ok with that?

Absolutely not - which is why I'm also against Pakistani's complaining about being forced to dress a certain way in the Western world. What you sow is what you reap.

 

[big_gamer007]

It's the job of the parent to teach their kids to treat every human as equal.. But then if parents themselves are islamophobes or racist or sexist or whatever the kids will turn out to be the same in most cases...

 

[Saeed]

Absolutely not - which is why I'm also against Pakistani's complaining about being forced to dress a certain way in the Western world. What you sow is what you reap.

So how does your when in Rome quote doesn't apply to those countries? Dress in Saudi Arabia and Pakistan as most Pakistanis do or else you will get what you deserve. You're a hypocrite.

No where did it say she was a Pakistani or has any role in Pakistani or Saudi laws. So she is absolutely not sowing what she reaped but keep going.

I'm sorry but either I have lost all my skills to understand the English language or you are making no sense. I simply said that living in the way of the majority is the most suitable step for people living in America.

I was expecting this. Wearing Hijab is not against any law in America so you can keep your suggestions to yourself. You have no right to tell other people how to dress.

I don't have the right but I hate Muslims crying about the hatred shown towards them because of the way they dress. If you love your culture and religion so much, move to an Islamic country. There's plenty of Muslim countries in Africa you can buy a citizenship for little money.

Paying bribes is Haram. No need for that, the country is not the one doing discrimination but few bigots. Can you get me Libyan citizenship in a legit way?

I don't know about Libya but to acquire the citizenship of a few African countries, like Nigeria IIRC, you need to invest in the country and you get the citizenship in less than a decade. A pretty legit way.

You live in an Islamic country but you hate everything about it, you are always moaning. I can never work people like you out, you criticise desis abroad for not fitting in with their host culture ( rightly) but then are constantly complaining about the culture of the country you live in yourself.

Hypocrisy. People should follow the customs of majority in America but I am not ok with the majority imposing their rules in Pakistan.

Incorrect. I simply choose not to be delusional unlike most people. The fact is that the majority decides whatever happens in a country, even though its wrong. Which is why I said "When in Rome..". However, I simply don't understand Muslims (especially Pakistani Muslims) crying about the tyranny of the Western Govts when they support such laws in Pakistan. I'm not the hypocrite. People like you are who have a problem with being persecuted as a minority in country's like the USA or France but are fine when you do it to other minorities in Pakistan.

This thread has got to nothing to do with western tyranny, it's about a kid attacking a girl for her hijab. You keep comparing U.S. with other countries as if U.S. government or law enforcement did this. Does this girl(a 16 year old) supports such laws in Pakistan. I am not persecuted and find me a post where I support the prosecution of minorities in Pakistan. Otherwise you owe me an apology.

I live in a country that was never supposed to be Islamic anyway - which is my problem. It was a country for Muslims but nowhere did it say it was ONLY for Muslims. Islam is a beautiful religion but should be kept away the constitution. Now when I say this, ignorant people like you (no offence) make out that I am a hater of Islam or want Pakistan to follow the ways of the West but the fact is, Islam is used a means to persecute people in the country and the blasphemy is one of the small but deep examples.

What this does in turn is harm the reputation of the religion and the country itself. Religion and the constitution should never be in synchronization because that only leads extremism and problems within the country. Sure, it looks good on paper but always turns out deadly for someone.

Also, you're giving the wrong example. This is not the culture of the country. It is not part of the culture of the country to vandalize Shia Mosques, temples, churches, Ahmedi mosques or Sikh temples. It is not culture of the country to target and throw stones at people celebrating Easter or Diwali or moaning in the month of Muharram. It has however become a tradition because of these stupid laws that exist. It promotes more extremism.

I never understand people like you who make themselves to sound so intellectual but never understand how one thing always leads to another. Have you ever wondered why Muslims being targeted in the USA has become a more common occurrence in the USA ever since Trump won the elections? Was it because Trump asked his supporters to target Muslims? No. But because he talked about Muslim bans, Hijab bans and what not which led the more conservative Americans to harm Muslims feeling more comfortable because such speeches and bans gave them more confidence and an idea of how they were doing the country of America a benefit and a service. This is exactly what happens when you include Islamic laws into the governance of the country, it gives these Aalims, priests and Molvi's to comfortably practice their extremism and openly targer anyone who in THEIR opinion is not right.

Another factor I find hilarious about your post is that you're comparing Desi's to the minorities of Pakistan. LOL. Desi's moved to these Western country's how long ago? 20 years, 30, 50 at most? Less than a century without a doubt. The minorities living in Pakistan have been here as long as anyone else has. They aren't expats from some other region. The country is as much theirs as anyone else's so your post lacks logic. There is a reason why the Pakistan flag has a white portion. If you want the country to be so "Islamic" then you might as well just make the entire flag green and change the name to Al Bakistan.

A culture is what it's people make it. This is what comes with democracy. You can have your own personal ideals, but when the majority don't agree with you, by definition you are going against the culture.

For what it's worth, I agree with you on taking religion out of the constitution, but that's me living here in the UK where it plays very little part. I don't pretend to know what's best for people living a world away with their own values and customs. If Iran, Pakistan or India want religious laws, I might not agree with it, but if that's what their public want it's none of my business. Knock yourselves out.

I am all for minority rights by the way, I think you are being devious and sly in trying to present it otherwise ( no offence). If you can find any post of mine where I have supported the persecution of minorities or any law which has been misused to persecute anyone, minority or not, feel free to quote it.

 

[Saeed]

Since we are talking about this, America doesn't identify itself as a theocracy either. People here are free to practice whatever religion they want to or may not practice a religion at all. They don't have to move if they love Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Sikhism etc so much. Also people can dress how ever they want.

I don't think you understand how law works in the West, if I am a Pakistani Brit, I don't want special concessions for me, I just want the same rights as everyone else. I know there are some immigrants who are happy to take whatever crumbs they can get from the table, but I'm not an immigrant. If you read my posts you will know that I have said plenty of times that I have no problem with the hijab being banned, or niqab or Sikh turbans if that's the wish of the people.
