First grade Pakistani boy beaten on US school bus for 'being Muslim'

Why not the same words for other countries why are they demonised why these double standards?

There is good and bad in almost every country.

Regardless of that, US is a much more disciplined nation than Pakistan. Law enforcement is also much better.

Isolated incidents do not represent the entire country. Responses in this thread are premature.

I have relatives in the US and they have good things to say about it.

Regardless, very unfortunate incident. Culprits should be disciplined, if caught.

Just wait till Trump becomes the leader of this nation which is a true possibility. These "isolated" incidents are going to become very mainstream. We know what Trump and his supporters stand for. No amount of sugarcoating can disguise the blatant hate. Blaming the media or the left won't work. Whether we like it or not, these elections have laid bare the intolerant and hateful side of this country and it is not isolated or small by any means.

I have. I have also met the disgusting rednecks that hate anything foreign and Muslim. They exist and in sizable numbers. I can confirm first hand.

The good and bad people argument won't suffice in the current US climate where people of color are systematically shot by the police and beaten up at election rallies. A horrendous scene in which people from a certain background are mass labelled rapists and people belonging to a certain faith are cheered to be banned. I can go on an on, but I'm sure you get the point. It is not normal and it is certainly not isolated. It is very planned and deliberate. It is pure hate and its proponents have hidden behind the facade known as Trump. They have found a voice which represents their disgusting hateful views.

American are exporters of terrorism. Where ever they go they promote terrorism. They backed up the Military Coup in turkey. They attack poor Muslims countries and steal their oil. They frustration will end with America getting Destroyed.

The Blood of the Syrians,Iraqis and Afghanis will reach their neck also.First they Kill innocents and then label their opponent army as Terrorists. These are old habits of these Zionist Extremists.

They created ISIS (Daesh:- who can't even write Kalma correctly) with Israel help , just to attack Syria and Steal its Chemical Weapons, which were a great threat to their Watch Dog Israel.

.

No but i do watch their reporting of other countries its super critical
You guys are going to have a president who will ban Muslims and restrictions on Muslims would be part of his policy as president

Do i object to it no its their country they can do whatever they want i would actually be happy after Trump he represents the true voice of his people i think it would be better if a leader of a country is true representative of its people it would help us dealing with Us a whole lot easier

Don't label it as simple bullying. These are the words of the parents:

"The parents of a seven-year-old boy said he was bullied and thrashed by at least five students on his school bus as they made references to Muslims and his Pakistani origin."

Stop saying that this is an isolated incident. It is not. It is a disturbing trend set by a person which could become the president of this particular country.

Meanwhile, a spokesperson for the Wake County Public School System Lisa Luten told BuzzFeed News that the principal of the school initiated an investigation into the incident.

The investigation will reveal what really happened. Going off on a one-sided story is bound to be irrational.

Sure, the parents and the kid must be lying.

NORTH CAROLINA - The Council on Islamic American Relations (CAIR) is calling for an investigation into the beating of a 7-year-old Muslim boy on a school bus.

The parents of the first grader said he was beaten by five students on a school bus, allegedly while they made references to Muslims and the boy’s Pakistani heritage.

Abdul Usmani’s father, Dr. Zeeshan-ul-hassan Usmani, told BuzzFeed News that his wife and three sons have left the US for Pakistan after this latest incident in a long history of discrimination towards his children and family.

“These are six and seven year old kids calling him names, with one kid punching him in the face, while two other kids attacked him, kicked him, and held his arms back,” Usmani said of his son.

He described his son “as American as you can get.”

“They keep beating him all the way from school to home on the bus,” Usmani said of the ride home from Weatherstone Elementary School in Cary, North Carolina, last Friday. Abdul is traumatized by the attack and has a sprained arm.

Lisa Luten, a spokesperson for the Wake County Public School System, said that the principal of the school immediately began investigating the alleged incident after the family told them about it.

Speaking about allegation of discrimination based on religion or race, Luten said, “When [the family] originally shared the information, they didn’t share any info about religion or race, and just that their child was bullied.”

Usmani said his family will stay in Pakistan until after the election to see if Donald Trump is elected to determine if his family feels safe enough to return.

Ibrahim Hooper, spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, said the group wants the school system to do an investigation and determine whether police should get involved.

I don't know whether this is credible, but if true very damning and damaging. There is nothing left to defend this incident. It is pure hate.

Sure, you tell us when it is complete and the "facts" have surfaced. According to some news reports the family has already left the country. Good luck with the investigations.
