Muslim Sixth Grader Allegedly Attacked by Schoolmates Who Called her ISIS, Tore at Her Hijab

http://www.insideedition.com/headlines/13411-muslim-sixth-grader-allegedly-attacked-by-schoolmates-who-called-her-isis-tore-at-her-hijab

A Muslim girl was attacked at her New York middle school by three schoolmates who referred to the girl as a terrorist organization and tried ripping off her religious garb, INSIDE EDITION has learned.

The sixth grade girl, whose identity IE is withholding, was playing during recess when three boys allegedly went after her on November 19 at P.S. 89 in the Bronx, a school source who spoke on the condition of anonymity told IE.

The boys, who are in the same grade as the girl, allegedly put her in a headlock and punched her as they tried to take off her hijab, the source said.

While beating up the girl, the boys also allegedly called her "ISIS," the source said.

Veils and scarves have been missing at my local market for 2 weeks now. I worry about what they're eating since they're afraid to go out and do the shopping.

I hope the three little piggies have detention instead of recess for the rest of the year.
