Dunwoody police confirmed Tuesday they are searching for a man accused of ripping the headscarf off a Muslim girl while yelling “terrorist” at Perimeter Mall.

The 14-year-old victim, whose identity hasn’t been released, was walking with a group in the parking lot near Maggiano's Little Italy at 9:40 p.m. when the stranger approached. He fled after snatching the hijab, police said.

“Dunwoody is a very diverse community, welcoming people of all faiths. Therefore, an incident such as this one is unusual,” Police Chief Billy Grogan said in a news release. “The Dunwoody Police Department is committed to protecting our citizens and will conduct a thorough investigation.”

even if he terrorized people in pursuit of a political agenda. They'll say he's an activist, radical, mentally ill, but not terrorist.

But I take your point. How very manly and Murkin to pick on a young girl and grab a part of her body that is nobody's business but her own, if you see what I mean.
