A restaurant in New York called Taste of Italy is facing backlash after it reportedly posted an anti-Muslim comment following news of a young boy’s death. According to WNYT News Channel 13, Harbe Nagi, a 7-year-old was found dead after drowning in a pool.
A screenshot shared on Reddit shows that the restaurant’s account wrote, “Let’s not forget that if that boy lived in a Muslim country, his Muslim family would have killed him a long time ago.” The comment went on to say that Muslims should return to their home countries, that their religion is “fake” and equal to terrorism, and that Muslims should not hold political power in the United States.
