<snip>
A 7-year-old Muslim boy was badly beaten by some of his classmates onboard a school bus in North Carolina — and the boy's father is blaming Donald Trump's inflammatory rhetoric for the senseless attack.

"Welcome to the United States of America of Donald Trump," Zeeshan-ul-hassan Usmani captioned a Facebook photo showing his son, Abdul, with his left arm in a sling. "He is in grade 1, bullied and beaten by his own classmates in school bus for being a Muslim."

Usmani told BuzzFeed News at least two Weatherstone Elementary School students shouted racial slurs while kicking and pummeling his son with fists.
