6th Grader Charged With Hate Crime For Assaulting Muslim Girl

033111hijab.jpg A 12-year-old Staten Island boy was marched out of school in handcuffs yesterday and slapped with felony hate-crime charges after allegedly bullying a Muslim classmate. Sources tell the Staten Island Advance that the boy, Osman Daramy, had repeatedly harassed and attacked the girl over the last two months, and yesterday he allegedly shoved her to the ground, punched her, kicked her, and tried to pull off her hijab while asking, "Are you a Muslim?" Now, where on Earth do children learn this kind of bigotry?

The girl sustained bruising and a cut on her lip; her sister tells the Post that the victim called her older brother during the attack, and he called the cops (after resisting an urge to track Daramy down and beat him up). Daramy was later arrested at Dreyfus Intermediate School and taken to a juvenile detention center in the Bronx. His mother tells the Post, "I know my son is a good boy. He's a kid, he made a mistake. It's not right for him to bug anybody for their religion."

But, other sources claim, Daramy "bugs" a wide variety of targets. "This child is a terror. He goes around terrorizing staff and students," says one teacher. And earlier this month Daramy was allegedly present when a group of students robbed a pizza deliveryman of pies and soda in the school parking lot. The deliveryman was beaten by the students before escaping, and, according to the Advance, three were arrested but Daramy "was one of the two who got away." And Daramy allegedly started this week off by going on a scissors "rampage" and cutting off a girl's hair in the classroom.

Daramy will be prosecuted before a Family Court judge. (The Post got a photo at his perp walk.) But it sounds like Daramy would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for those meddling cops—a school source tells the Advance, "The principal talked with the cops for three hours in her office, trying to get them not to make it a hate crime because it would look bad for the school."

    Can he be tried as a juvenile ?

  • "I know my son is a good boy. He's a kid, he made a mistake. It's not right for him to bug anybody for their religion."

    LOL
    Of course the mother is going to say her kid is a "good boy." What woman would want to admit to pushing that monster out of her cooter?

  • justice_avenger

    sorry to all of you. the problem is because of him being lower class makes it less likely he will get any real help, if he was upper middle or upper class he would get a slap on the wrist and then he would have a full time psychologist. everyone is focusing on the wrong thing. race didnt and doesnt matter the boy was a terror to all children and adults he didnt focus his problem on one person or race or religion. as for being poor well it just means he wont get the help he needs. and being upper or lower class doesnt matter one wit about his parents. some of you might be upper class and yet you still are being a bully and sounding stupid. get it together we are still americans and if this is how your children are taught no wonder the boy has problems, kids learn from their parents, and peers what is right or wrong. and if some of you have children then lord help us because your potty mouths are terrible.

    You say "Arab-pedophile-goatfucker-desert culture of these barbaric and subhuman Arabs" like its a bad thing. Don't be a hater!

    I'm a Muslim-American, to any Muslims reading this.

    I challenge you to show me a single verse in the Quran that says that women should wear "Hijabs" (learn what that word means in Arabic by the way). You won't be able to find it, because it's not part of Islam, it's part of Arab-pedophile-goatfucker-desert culture.

    99% of the problems in Islam were the creation of these barbaric and subhuman Arabs, stoning, beheading, rape... all nonsense created by Arabs.

    If only Turks and Persians could revise a normal, human-friendly version of the Koran...

    No, you're an AMERICAN Muslim.

    Part of the problem with this country is that everybody wants to be something else before they're American.

  • unretrofiedforu

    What does being from the country of America have to do with your creed? You crazy CONSERVATURD

  • FU Boy

    "everybody wants to be something else before they're American."

    Like human?

  • PaulaNYC

    To be clear, I have NEVER attacked ANYONE because of their race, religion or national orgin. Those assertions by a few here are out-and-out LIES.

    To the extent I have disparaged homosexuals, it was ONLY to refute their political agenda and to condemn their risky, dangerous and -- yes -- disgusting unnatureal sexual practices.

    The problem most have with my postings here is that I do not fall in behind the thoughtless liberal ("LibTard") line that many of the lower-IQ posters here automatically adopt because they are incapable of ANY original thought or opinion. Since they are unable to oppose my opinions with any veracity on an intellectual basis, they attack me personally like the little Liberal Fascists that they are.

    I recall you ranting about how you were forced to learn about African culture and a waste of time and how Africans contributed absolutely nothing to American Western Civilization, Your post was on a story about the racist Stuyvesant video. And a hijab is used to symbolize one's modesty, it's not just a "hat" as you referred it to.

  • PaulaNYC

    Oh, wait...in LibTard Logic, if you point out facts that hurt people's feellings, you're racist.....

    Sillly POS.

  • shocktheday

    You are one misinformed psycho bitch. Europeans went to Africa to learn about trans-oceanic sailing. Greek scholars including Socrates went to Africa to learn philosophy, theology, math and science before civilization developed in the West. The music we listen today evolved from African music which makes it possible for a guy with an Asian fetish to pick you up at Pasha for a quick bang. Diamonds are also mined in Africa so a Korean man can buy his wife a big ass ring so she has face to meet her friends at the Korean coffee shop but the expense is cutting into his golfing which he loves more than his family. Meanwhile, he still needs to come up with the 15% of his salary which he must give to the Korean church which is derived from Judaism which is partially derived from African belief system.

  • chuzzlewit

    lol

  • PaulaNYC

    OK. Enlighten me, then. What, EXACTLY has sub-saharan Africa contributed to Western Culture?

  • Guest

    More than the Korean peninsula ever did.

  • izzy371

    Just a few of your most recent racist/bigoted comments (excluding your homophobic ones since you already addmited to that):
    - "BTW, $30,000 to have Fried Chicken with Obama in Harlem tonight for the Democrats."
    - "I am sick to death of giving MENTALLY DISTURBED people special rights!!!!"
    - "What, PRECISELY, is America's VITAL INTEREST in protecting Israel??? (Aside from electoral votes and contributors in NY, NJ, FL, and CA?)"
    - "I missed a good chance to inflict severe head trauma and possibly even fatal damage to his internal organs." "I sincerely hope that Sadist Khan gets run over and her brains splattered into something resembling a Lombardi's pizza, extra sauce, by an 18 wheeler while she enjoys her bike ride." (not bigoted, just shows you are an ass)
    - "What's your excuse? Oh, yeah, you're Black....forgot abou that. Well, that certainly explains your failure." (want to explain how this can be construed as not raciest?)
    - "Wake up: "African Culture" is irrelevant and insignificant, largely because people of African descent have not yet mastered the ability to govern themselves."

  • Guest

    Thank you Izzy.

  • PaulaNYC

    You're such an IDIOT!!! You look for racism and hatred because you don't know how to relate in any other fashion.

    1. The Chicken comment had to do with campaign FINANCE, you MORON.
    2. I believe -- and science has shown -- that homosexuals are mentally disturbed, the same as pedophiles or necrophiliacs. It may not be politically correct, but it is certainly not "hatred".
    3. Oh, wait: Questioning American policy towards Israel is anti-semitic? Be sure to tell that to the Hassidim who don't believe that Israel should exist. My issue is with the policy, not the people. Moron.
    4. I DETEST Sadik-Khan, like many others in the City. Of course, being a silly Greenie LibTARD, you're obviously morally superior.
    5. I don't recollect the comment or thecontext. But I'm frankly sick and tired of people blaming their personal failures on their race, so I presume it was along the lines of another bitchy LibTard complaining they were being discriminated against.
    5. African culture IS irrelevant and insignifcant to Western culture and they have NOT mastered the ability to peacefully govern themselves. You may not like that fact, and you may not find that fact particularly pretty or politically correct, but it doesn't alter the fact itself.

    Silly LibTard. Always looking to hang the "racist/sexist/homophone" label on anyone who disagrees with you.
