A SYDNEY couple has withdrawn their two children from a public primary school, claiming their 11-year-old son was bullied by Muslim students because he ate a salami sandwich during Ramadan.

Andrew Grigoriou said yesterday he complained to the school and to police after his son Antonios was chased and later assaulted by Muslim students after a confrontation over the contents of his lunch, The Daily Telegraph reports.

Antonios, a Year 5 student of Greek-Australian background at Punchbowl Public School in Sydney's southwest, said he and a friend had to be locked inside the library for an hour after being chased by a group of Muslim boys offended by his choice of food while they were fasting.

The Grigoriou family said the following exchange took place:

Muslim student to Antonios: "Why are you eating ham, it's Ramadan?"

Antonios: "My mum packed this for lunch today."

Muslim student: "Don't eat that. How can you eat pig, it's disgusting."

During the confrontation a Muslim boy allegedly accused Antonios of saying: "F--- the Muslims" but Antonios denied swearing.

Get used to it.

These dirty moslems won’t stop until Omoslem hands us all over to Iran’s mullahs for extermination.

Yes, the Koran is redundant as can be. There’s no structure to it, each successive chapter sounds exactly like the one that preceded it. “Allah is great”, “Allow knows” this that or the other, “Listen to me, Oh believers.” It would be more tolerable if there was a consistent narrative somewhere, or a coherent thesis presented in one chapter or another. If you lose your place while reading, you can no doubt pick up reading again at any other place in the book and never tell the difference.

So, since the kid was harassed, can he go on a shooting rampage, wiping out a dozen Muslims, and have the media apply the Hasan Defense ("He was picked on") for him?

Only if he's an oppressed minority. (anything but white and/or Christian)

“F The Muslims” should be an international battlecry.

If you can find the balls on a mohammedan, you could circumcise a gnat at a 100 yards.

I’d prefer a target that doesn’t require a microscope to locate.

The Pravda Media in the United States would consider that just cause for violent retaliation.

After all, a person shouldn’t be persecuted for eating a meatstick.

I think that language is explicitly in the new hatecrimes law.
