12-Year-Old Boy Charged With Hate Crime in Alleged Attack on Muslim Girl

He's a holy terror.

A 12-year-old New York 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 said yesterday.

"Are you a Muslim?" young Osman Daramy allegedly barked at the 13-year-old girl during the assault at Dreyfus Intermediate School in Staten Island, N.Y., police said.

Osman and an unidentified 13-year-old girl allegedly beat the terrified eighth-grader at around 1 p.m. Tuesday behind the building but still on school property. They allegedly punched and kicked her until she collapsed to the ground.

Osman also tried to rip off the victim's hijab, the scarf covering her hair, but she managed to fight him off, authorities said.

The girl suffered bruises and a cut lip.

The victim's older sister told The Post last night that her sibling "is fine."

"She was crying at that moment, but she's OK."
