Today at school (a nice private school), a little girl, aged 6, daughter of a well-to-do-pediatrician who happens to be a muslim from Jordan or thereabouts, walked up to my daughter (aged 6) and told her that she was going to "cut her dirty Jew throat" and shoved her down.
Out of the blue. Completely in seperate classrooms.
This was in the USA, btw.
No previous contact or problems that we know of.
Been fun at our house today.
School is involved.
They don't want me to call the cops, as this is the last week of school, and I wouldn't normally, but I assume this little b---ch learned this at home.
A Christian mother of a child at the school told my wife the muslim girl previously stated to her daughter there was "no such thing as Jesus" and "Easter was fake" and if she (the Christian's daughter) didn't stop talking about Jesus, she'd "slit her throat." (I obviously am Jewish, so we have theological differences here, but this was no less shocking.) I don't know what action was taken here, but am trying to find out.
I pissed off on multiple levels.

Of course, you’ll need to “batten down the hatches” for the ensuing situation.
As they said in the Sixties: “Keep the faith, baby!”.
Ditto. Keep us posted...
“The girl learned this from her father.”
That’s the big problem right there. If the father is a physician of some kind, he’s in a position to do a lot of damage if he chooses. A six-year-old girl probably doesn’t know what cutting someone’s throat really means...although it that culture, maybe. But mommy and daddy...
Thank you for taking action! I hope everything goes well for your family.
Sounds like you had a pretty successful day. Thanks for the update.
I am just not a media guy. I have a heavy Israeli accent, and get scared speaking English publically.
I did take my daughter to school today (with my legal and concealed .40 GLOCK safely under my loose shirt -— yes legal on a private school, checked that).
Lots of dads dropping kids off today.
Jihadi girl’s cubby is empty and even her picture removed from the bulliten board. I think that is all I could hope to accomplish here.
I was thanked by the teacher for making a stink, which made me feel good. She said the girl and her family were trouble, but no one had ever stepped up.
Thanks to all for encouraging me to step up.
More attention would just appear to be vindictive, I think.
Good for you, JB!!! Glad the little snot is gone and you have the support of the teacher! You did the right thing.
You are a very good dad. Your daughter has a good role model to look up to.
The child should be suspended. Thats what they do around here when threats are made.
Good. Very good. This action alone should haunt them for years.
One thing is unabashedly true: kids are outright cruel to each other. The sophistication of such will only increase as the kids mature; the exquisite nature of bullying reaches its zenith sometime in high school. There's a phenomenon called 'group think', and this is most developed with the formation of cliques in high school, and the emerging sense of identity and need to belong.
That being said, and notwithstanding, bullies are a notch above all that. However, bullies are not born: they're made; this is no less true of racists either. For the most part people look down their nose at other people whom they deem to be less worthy than themselves. This is a fact of life. But the fundamental issue with bullies is more deep-seated emotional and psychological factors arising out of the home environment. One neighborhood bully I had to deal with had a father who was a mother beater. Bullies may have to deal with alchoholism, divorce, death, and all sorts of traumatic issues.
One of the biggest resources that anybody can have with regards to dealing with bullies is that of self-confidence. For the most part kids have to learn how to get out of the scraps of their own making. The only time when parental involvement is warranted is when one's child is truly innocent. One of the biggest confidence builders there are is proficiency in martial arts.
A great adage states that success is determined largely by 90% brain-power and the remainder between some ratio of sweat and luck. Its a lesson that needs to be learned: when to stand one's ground and when to walk away. Moreover, intellectual prowess behind a silver tongue is far greater than the brawns behind physically backing it up. To be able to convince an adversary that they don't want to mess around because the adversary will end up getting hurt is priceless. Martial arts training not only can instill such skills, but the confidence necessary such that a display of physical force won't be necessary.
A very good life lesson to be learned is how to walk away from unpleasant people and have nothing further to do with them. This entails an understanding that people have theirs coming to them. The only question is whether they are to be doled out their allotment by themselves, or whether its sufficient to know that somebody else will dole it out in far better measure down the road.
In your particular case, since the incident occured on school grounds, and the school administration has prima facie custodial responsibility, the issue must be resolved addressed at school. There must be a parent teacher conference between all parties concerned. This would include no less than other parents who may be affected by the behavior of this bully-in-training being present (as it appears this is not an isolated incident). The school administration and the bully's parents must be put on notice that any further display of such behavior will not be countenanced in any way, shape, or form; failure to address the matter will result in escalation (either regretfully by the kids themselves or legally - by the parents).
Ultimately, the recourse is legal parent to parent (not the school). If the parent doesn't excercise their responsiblity to control / discipline their child, then legal recourse against the parent is absolutely a necessity; a parent can never delegate their accountability for their children's actions. For example, who's responsible for medical expenses when one child cold-cocks another and knocks their teeth out (or destroys an expensive pair of glasses)? The foreging notwithstanding, nevertheless, and what not, it depends what you want to teach your child: go along to get along, turn the other cheek (meeknes inherits the earth), lady-like behavior, etc.? We all have to learn when a battle is worth fighting, i.e., when to stand one's ground - this far and NO farther. Sometimes the benefits of a scrum are just not worth the effort.
The self confidence of this individual is beyond repute:
Lone Jewish Boy Attacked by Muslim Mob in LA
That boy didn't get that way by being coddled as a child that's for sure.
You can’t really blame the kid. She’s clearly learning this stuff from someplace, though — I’m guessing from her father. The police need to know; but I would suggest that DHS might be interested as well.
Post 133 was the update.
Saw that. Thanks!

Excellent. That sure is a sigh of relief.
Let us know if you need anything else, especially regarding talk radio media access in Washington, DC.

Prayers for you and your daughter.
And also for the 6 year old Muslim girl ... Can you imagine being injected with such poison at such a young age? A different kind of child abuse - but certainly a very sick version of it. Poisoning one's mind with hatred is sad. Satan is having his way with that family.
You'll be doing her a favor by reporting this incident to the police. She needs negative feedback for her behavior... It might not do any good - but it might get her parents/family on a 'watch list'. And if a 6 year old girl is spewing out this vileness - I'd want to keep a close eye on the 'adults' in that household.
If you are in the greater Los Angeles metro area, Sunday, June 6, click here for the specifics on the rally planned for 2 PM in front of the Consulate General of Israel. This is in opposition to the global propaganda campaign being leveled against Israel in the wake of the Flotilla raid.

Your daughter should have gotten up and used her little jew fists to pound the *hit out of that bully.
