Islamic phobia

The following isn't just NZ politics it's international but I believe that even across the world I can take a stand to Islamic phobia, everything in this story is my own, not based on a true story but we can all agree it has happened before; So I wrote this in RST and Marie Fisher convinced me to upload it; "THE GIRL WITH THE FUNNY HAT" (by me) -she sat across from me in maths,the girl with the funny hat. This hat was long, black and covered her head. Only revealing her face... Didn't quite understand why at first but other kids would tease her, saying she had a bomb in her locker. Like I said, I didn't understand but it didn't seem to really get to her until she did it. Her name was Bethany, I knew this because she and her wealth were worshipped but deep down she was rotten. It was really hot that lunchtime, the sun glared down on anyone who dared walk under it.  I sat crossed legged in the shade, watching carefully. Bethany had gone up to the girl with the funny hat, trying to get her take it off but she didn't want to, so Bethany said " you're such a freak, take it off!" She lunged over and pulled the hat off the girl. The thick wrappings fell to the asphalt and Long black hair bounced softly onto her shoulders. The girl pushed Bethany to the ground and ran away hiding her face in shame. The girl didn't come to maths the next day. Bethany had told her older brother about being pushed over by a "terrorist". On her way to school Bethany's brother and some friends cornered her before she got to school. Some rumours say he had a baseball bat, others say it was a knife. I wish I knew then what I know now and prevented it. She was beaten,broken and defeated. But none of that could  prepare Mr&Mrs Kumar for what they would discover in their bathroom that night. They could bury the body, but not the pain that had driven their beautiful daughter to such an act. #DifferentGodSameLove
