Black kid charged with hate crime against Muslim girl

A 12-year-old black Staten Island schoolboy viciously attacked a young Muslim classmate and tried to tear off her religious headscarf in an unprovoked rage that ended with him being busted on hate-crimes charges, authorities have said. "Are you a Muslim?" young Osman Daramy barked at the 13-year-old girl during the assault at Dreyfus Intermediate School in Stapleton, police said. Osman and an unidentified 13-year-old girl beat the terrified eighth-grader. They punched and kicked her until she collapsed to the ground. Osman also tried to rip off the victim's hijab covering her hair, but she managed to fight him off, authorities said. The girl suffered bruises and a cut lip. Osman has been arrested and charged with felony assault as a hate crime and aggravated harassment as a hate crime. Apparently, Osman has a Muslim mother and is an African immigrant from Sierra Leone.
