12-year-old Osman Daramay, attempted to rip the hijab off the head of a 12-year-old Muslim girl in New York and was arrested for committing a hate crime against his fellow student. However, his dad, Frank Davies, argues that this is nonsense, as his son is also a Muslim. 

He does have a point. That's like two white American born citizens of the same religion getting into a fight and one yanking off the other's hat or two Israeli Jewish people arguing and one yanking off the other's yarmulke. It's hard to call the aforementioned examples hate crimes.

What you have is a troubled young man that needs to have his butt kicked by his parents, to remind him to respect others' property and personal space. Maybe the police did not have the full story when they made the arrest and judging by young Daramay harassing his fellow student, then throwing a birdie at the press, his parents have their hands full.
