Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Another fake hate crime: “No evidence” Muslim child was attacked on bus in NC

Oct 14, 2016 3:48 pm By Robert Spencer

Two days ago, the Huffington Post wailed: “Islamophobia Just Drove This Boy And His Family Out Of America.” But yet again there is nothing to it. If Usmani’s claim were true, “They keep beating him all the way from school to home on the bus,” the boy would have suffered extensive injuries, and the bus would have been in an uproar, as anyone who has ever ridden a school bus knows. Instead, “No students who were interviewed witnessed an altercation. The bus driver did not witness an altercation. The child did not report to the bus driver any injury.”

I don’t know how far young Abdul Aziz lives away from school, but look at the photo below. He looks happily unscathed, other than the arm sling: he hardly looks like a boy who has just been beaten all the way home from school. No facial marks whatsoever? Nary a bruise? No black eye? No fat lip? The beaters were strikingly ineffectual — if, that is, they existed at all, and it looks as if they didn’t.

So here we go again. Hate crimes are political capital. When real ones don’t exist, they must be invented. Hamas-linked CAIR and other Muslims have on many occasions not hesitated to stoop even to fabricating “hate crimes,” including attacks on mosques. A New Jersey Muslim was found guilty of murder that he tried to portray as an “Islamophobic” attack, and in 2014 in California, a Muslim was found guilty of killing his wife, after first blaming her murder on “Islamophobia.”

This kind of thing happens quite frequently. The New York Daily News reported that “a woman who told cops she was called a terrorist and slashed on her cheek in lower Manhattan on Thursday later admitted she made up the story, police said early Friday. The woman, who wore a headscarf, told authorities a blade-wielding wacko sliced open her face as she left a Manhattan cosmetology school, police sources said.”

And recently in Britain, the murder of a popular imam was spread far and wide as another “Islamophobic hate crime” – until his killer also was found to be a Muslim. The Mirror reported that the imam “was targeted because he had made efforts to turn youngsters away from radical Islam.”

According to The Detroit News, a Muslim woman, Saida Chatti, was “charged with making a false police report after she allegedly fabricated a plot to blow up Dearborn Fordson High School to retaliate against the November terrorist attacks in Paris….Police say Chatti called Dearborn investigators Nov. 19, six days after Islamic extremists killed 130 people in Paris.”

And similarly in Britain, a Muslim woman was “fined for lying to police about being attacked for wearing a hijab. The 18-year-old student, known only as Miss Choudhury, said she was violently shoved from behind and punched in the face by a man in Birmingham city centre 10 days after the atrocities in the French capital on November 13.”

Despite school officials’ findings, watch for this one to show up in Hamas-linked CAIR’s “hate crimes” list.

“Investigators find no evidence Muslim child was attacked on school bus,” by T. Keung Hui, Raleigh News & Observer, October 14, 2016:

The Wake County school system and the Cary Police Department say they haven’t found evidence to back up a Muslim family’s allegations that their 7-year-old son was assaulted by classmates on a school bus last week.

Zeeshan-ul-hassan Usmani says his son Abdul Aziz was bullied and beaten by classmates at Weatherstone Elementary School in Cary while riding home on the bus last Friday because the first-grade student is Muslim.

Usmani’s Facebook post, with the words “Welcome to the United States of America of Donald Trump” and a picture of Abdul Aziz’s left arm in a sling, has sparked worldwide social media and news media attention about Islamophobia.

School and law enforcement officials say they’ve taken the allegations seriously and don’t tolerate bullying. But they say their investigations don’t confirm an assault even occurred.

“At this time, the information from the investigation does not support an altercation,” Weatherstone Principal Tim Chadwick told parents in a letter sent Thursday. “In fact, we are not able to corroborate much of what is described in the release.”

The Cary Police Department has been investigating the allegations as well.

“At this time, nothing has been found, and no police report has been filed,” Cary Town Manager Sean R. Stegall said in a written statement.

After Usmani’s Facebook post, the Council on American-Islamic Relations issued a press release Monday calling on the Wake County school system to investigate the incident.

CAIR’s press release says Abdul Aziz, an American citizen of Pakistani heritage, was reportedly assaulted by five other children the bus who allegedly made references to Islam, Muslims and Pakistan during the attack. CAIR also cited Usmani in saying that his son was “punched in the face, had his arm twisted and was kicked in the stomach.”

In subsequent news articles, Usmani has gone into more detail on the alleged assault.

“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 told BuzzFeed News in an article posted online Tuesday.

“They keep beating him all the way from school to home on the bus,” Usmani also told BuzzFeed, adding that his son was traumatized by the attack and has a sprained arm.

A Huffington Post article originally posted Wednesday adds that Abdul Aziz told his parents a classmate had tried to force him to eat food that wasn’t halal. When Abdul Aziz refused, five of his classmates ganged up on him, making fun of his name. They punched him in the face, kicked him in the stomach, and twisted his arm while calling him “Muslim” again and again, Usmani told the Huffington Post.

Chadwick, Weatherston’s principal, said the district’s ongoing investigation was launched immediately after speaking with the family about their concerns. He said the school’s staff had spent hours over the past several days talking with parents, students and the driver of the bus about the incident.

But based on the investigation, Chadwick said “we don’t have evidence that this particular incident occurred,”

“No students who were interviewed witnessed an altercation,” Chadwick said in the letter to Weatherstone families. “The bus driver did not witness an altercation. The child did not report to the bus driver any injury.”…

      If I didn’t know any better, this questionsble story seems to be modeled on “clock boy”.

      Perhaps he could get some gifts from Toys R’ Us, a free computer from Microsoft, a college account from Facebook, a reserved seat on a future suborbital flight from Virgin Galactic, and of course, a trip to the White House.

    Where I live, this kind of thing happened a number of times after the Paris attacks last year. Women on the street or on public transit were reporting that their hijabs were pulled off by attackers on the street or on transit. However, no one was EVER caught for these crimes, transit is full of security cameras. Local shops have security camera on the streets, but there was not even a picture of any of the alleged attackers.

    In another city, a mosque was set of fire and no one was ever caught for that either.

    Very suspicious reports.

      Note about Cary, NC

      Cary, North Carolina is a very wealthy city full of many politically correct liberal elites who were born outside of North Carolina but came to work at RTP and related support companies. I hope this Muslim kid does not grow up to be another spoiled brat “Clock Boy”

        Jay B–I (personally) would not care how this Muslim grows up– AS LONG AS IT IS NOT IN THE U.S.,

        The Huff Piece mentioned the family leaving the country. GREAT.

        , Usmani’s Facebook post, with the words “Welcome to the United States of America of Donald Trump”.. ( from article). As a native born, 3rd generation American, I SAY– FROM YOUR FB PAGE TO G-D’S EARS. MAY THIS HAPPEN, SOONER RATHER THEN LATER.

      Then there’s kitman (lying by omission), tawriya (intentionally creating a false impression), and murana (blending in by setting aside some practises to advance others). Muslims have at least 4 different ways of lying.

        You are correct! You cannot trust any of them since they are told to lie in the Quran to fit in, to befriend and then behead.

    In Arab (Islamic) culture there is a concept of Subjective as opposed to Objective truth.
    It doesn’t matter whether something actually happened, as long as it is believed to have happened. Goebbels’s big lie, “If you repeat a lie often enough it becomes the truth” is axiomatic.

    • Pere LaChaise says

      Oct 15, 2016 at 12:07 pm

      Arab/moslem epistemology, where nothing is really real by Aristotelian standards of the West, are rooted in the mindset that culminates in Voluntarism, the doctrine that has allah deciding whether anything at all exists from one moment to the next, whether laws of nature are maintained or simply brushed aside.
      From voluntarism springs every moslem lie, because they imitate their god, the Father of Lies. “From their fruit ye shall know them.”

    Fitting that so many fake hate crimes are reported by Muslims since Islam has fake written all over it, from Mohammed the Fake and Profiteer onwards. Meanwhile, real crimes are committed by Muslims worldwide in huge amounts. Over 29,000 just since 9/11, which works out to an average of over 5 a day for each and every day back to that very dark day in American history, courtesy of 19 Muslim barbarians, September 11, 2001. And it should not be overlooked that that 29,000+ figure only takes into account ACTUAL Islamic attacks that came off and not the tens of thousands of INTENDED Islamic attacks that didn’t due to security personnel around the world which thwarted them.

    Have Islam? Then you will have fakery all around. Lots of death and maiming too. Additionally, the closing of the mind, no true freedom of speech, no true freedom of religion, no equality under the law, men lording over women, no romantic love, no music, no pictorial art, no beer and, last but not necessarily least, and per that sorry-ass excuse of an old man, the Ayatollah Khomeini, no fun. Yep, if you have Islam you have all this.

    My God, what a travesty Islam is. A burden to the human race over a larger period of time such as no other ideology, however evil, remotely has been. This is Islam’s legacy and why anyone making excuses for Islam is an ignoramus at best, a truly malevolent person at worst.

    In their own way, these fake hate crimes spring from the same well of deceit as the shopworn memes that Israel commits (take your pick) genocide, ethnic cleansing, extra-judicial killings, collective punishment, apartheid against the innocent Palestinian Arabs. As few in the West push back against these demonstrably false claims, is it any wonder the concept has now spread throughout the West? Again we see the iron law if History at work: what begins with the Jews, never ends with the Jews.
    Somehow the greatest imperialist conquerors known to history have recast themselves successfully as history’s greatest (even if least deserving) victims. Truth is stranger than fiction, but at what cost to civilization?

  11. JimBob says

    Once again the Muslims have increased in number enough to start causing trouble. They have no honor in their households. The women are headed for hell and the men only want male children to fight and kill Christians and Jews. Hiliary will make it worse, send them all back now before they have enough number to overthrow our government, as they have done in Europe.

    There are lies, gross lies and paki lies.

    I insist the kid’s father files a police report under oath. Then, when it is proven that the attacks never took place, that man should be tried for perjury and lying under oath. I bet he wan’t do that and back out (in the interest of maintaining peace in the society). All he is looking for is attention and a trip to the White House. To claim that six and seven year-old kids “made references to Islam, Muslims and Pakistan”, that is preposterous. Which seven year old knows that? They can barely tie their shoe laces.

    • Shmooviyet says

      Oct 15, 2016 at 4:57 pm

      Agreed!!
      And how many American children (up to now) have been taught the difference between halal and non?
      “Don’t buy that peanut butter, Mom– it’s not halal!”
      Oh brother…

    When I was 6 or 7 (or 8) -if there was a fight – well one either won it or lost it.

    No big deal- and within two days, were friends again. (Sometimes, sooner).

    NO POLICE investigations. No questioning parents, students, teachers, etc. (I did not ride a school bus- walked- with friends and neighbors; as had my siblings- who are older).

    Kids fight.

    And- the entire story does not make sense- first they are talking about making him eat non halal food- the students ganged up on him; punched him- etc.

    Elsewhere, it says on the bus home.

    And, big feces- a sprained arm- unless he is sickly, at that age, I would guess heal in a day.

    Seems made up to me.

    Back to the food- from my days as a substitute teacher- students were not supposed to eat food on the school buses. So, the fight about food could not ahve taken place there.

    The lunchrooms have teachers or volunteers or aides –in the lunchrooms- when children are eating ( in Florida, anyhow, I would guess the same in the Carolina’s)- but there had to be SOME ADULT SUPERVISION- so again, how could that have happened.?

    The school buses I have seen, have wide angle mirrors, so the driver can see what is going on. If 5 children were attacking one child- AT LEAST two or three had to have been out of their seats- so, someone would have seen it, and/or told the driver (probably both)- if the driver did not notice it in the mirror.

    rather then interview students, etc- the pakistani piece of sheep turd should be questioned. IF the students knew his name, then he would have known their name/names.

    Whole thinks stinks.

    let the family go back to Pakistan- and take 129,000 other Pakistani families with them. (Preferably those from FL first-only because I live here).

    • The Vilest of Creatures says

      Oct 15, 2016 at 12:41 pm

      The likely response to your question from apologists would likely be that the bus driver and lunch room monitors were Islamophobes too.

    • Oliver says

      Oct 15, 2016 at 3:16 pm

      I forgot to mention- from my days as a substitute teacher ( and, my mother was a teacher for over 30 years, and my sister, niece and brother-in-law are or were in the education field-often in the elementary school level). at 6-7-8- usually the children DO NOT KNOW the last names of their classmates-merely the first names.

      And, ( for example) let us say that there are two boys named James- they would be James (for example) R and James T ( first letter of last name) and if last names not easy- DEFINITELY- the students would not know it.

      As I wrote, the entire thing stinks.

    “No students who were interviewed witnessed an altercation,” Chadwick said in the letter to Weatherstone families. “The bus driver did not witness an altercation. The child did not report to the bus driver any injury.”…

    Well, this must be quite the cover-up – not even the victim reported the attack…

  18. Shmooviyet says

    Oct 15, 2016 at 4:47 pm

    If the child’s arm in a sling is legitimate, I’d venture a guess that the injury occurred closer to home.
    As to the ‘US of A of Donald Trump’ remark, isn’t America still ruled by BHO?
    Islam is much better at, and has had a thousand+ year jump on brainwashing hatred into children. Proof of that is easily found, unlike this parent’s claims.

    • Oliver says

      Oct 16, 2016 at 7:49 pm

      RE: Sling- I am an adult– about 7 or 8 years ago, for various reasons, my doctor wanted me to keep my arm in a sling, when not working or driving. My sister – for other reasons, also had to keep her arm in a sling- for periods of time. A friend of mine’s nephew ( who was about 11 or 12) also ahd to do so.

      All were for different reasons. Not necessarily anything to do with fighting.

    When an actual crime occurs, here’s what happens: 1) the victim makes an official complaint with police, triggering an investigation; 2) someone, in this case the bus company, gets sued.

    Yet over and over, when a muslim claims to be victim, neither occurs. It’s could lead one to suspect that getting an “islamophobia” story into the media is all that is wanted, and with a liberal-dominated media, that’s what they get.

    “They keep beating him all the way from school to home on the bus,” Usmani also told BuzzFeed, adding that his son was traumatized by the attack and has a sprained arm.

    A Huffington Post article originally posted Wednesday adds that Abdul Aziz told his parents a classmate had tried to force him to eat food that wasn’t halal. When Abdul Aziz refused, five of his classmates ganged up on him, making fun of his name. They punched him in the face, kicked him in the stomach, and twisted his arm while calling him “Muslim” again and again, Usmani told the Huffington Post.
    ________________________________

    Why wasn’t this child taken to the hospital? Who diagnosed the sprained arm? A kick to the stomach can cause serious internal injury. A punch to the face will result in swelling.

    Surely this is subversive jihad, non-military tactics of implementing creeping sharia and infiltrating institutions. (If you know the command for Conquest and what Subversive jihad is, you know this now.)

    But I wonder whether the father’s work-move was already planned and then they thought to get a little propaganda etc. out of it. “Kid beat up so leave country” will automatically cry “Islamophobia!” Whether all that prevalent–or not… Just like Klokkmed in Irving, Texas, eh…

    Plus this is unsettling. Look at the resume of the father, apparently top-notch scholar researcher and even anti-terrorist expert [[ tho now i wouldnt buy any of his work, eh… ]], BUT as so often indeed, the “call to the global caliphate” lies within how many, many Muslims…
