Why do you say being bullied by a muslim boy? That's mad if you're being bullied you're being bullied it has nothing to do with religion unless, you're being bullied about religion, or if you're being bullied because he is bullying you for not being muslim, otherwise the whole muslim boy bit is irelevant.
I'va been bullied before at school, and the truth is you just need to stand up for yourself, he will not be able to twist it in to a race thing unless you say something that points towards race, which i assume you won't so you'll be fine. Just tell him off make him see that you won't take any crap from him, as soon as he realises this he'll leave you alone.

Well, bullied how? What makes you think you'd be accused of racism? You're leaving some stuff out. If he's harassing you, let your employer know about it, and if s/he can't or won't do anything about it, quit.
The fact that you say "a muslim boy," and you're afraid of being accused of racism, and then it turns out that your "problem" apparently has nothing to do with his race or religion, kind of makes me wonder. If you really feel that he's creating problems for you, you should have no problem going to your boss to resolve the situation, or confronting him directly.

I suggest confronting the issue directly---and with planning. If this is something that is truly harrassment, I'd be sure to document every incident. I'd also report the issue to my superior. If you've got back up and specifics, you couldn't be accused of being a racist for reporting a problem....whats more if in some localities if your employer doesn't then take steps to prevent the harrassment, they are liable.
If this is more of an annoyance and you don't want to hurt his feelings, I'd have a mature third party that he is likely to listen to (and who can back you up if it doesn't work) and together go and explain to this boy what he is doing and that you will not tolerate it any longer. If he continues, you'll have taken reasonable steps and have a third party to back what you up.

I think you should definatley point out to him that you interperet his actions towards you as bullying. He might not even realise that he is being so hurtful so if you try and have an amicable conversation with him about it, you might be able to resolve the matter.
I was being sexually harrassed by a muslim gentleman at work. I pulled him to one side and explained that his comments and actions towards me made me feel uncomfortable. He couldn't have been more apologetic, he hadn't meant to cause any offence and he stopped straight away. The issue of race or religion never came into it.

It looks like most of your answers are by people trying so hard to be politically correct. True, violence begits violence, but there does come a time when we all have to stand up for ourselves and if you are as innocent as you claim, than tell this person, "Stop it and if you don't I will file complaint against you". If it goes to that extent and your boss(es) do nothing about it. Catch him off the property after hours and beat the coley crap out of him yelling Jihad!!! But than again, I never claimed to be politically correct and with the invasion of illegal Mexicans in this area......I say *#!~~~~##~! political correct! If they can dish it out, they better be able to take it!

believe me get in there first and report his antics to someone further up and make sure its recorded-ive seen this happen and the victim has ended up the loser because unfortunately their are people out there that will use the racism card in an instant even when its not called for

TO JIGGALING
Asian man was talking to a white man and said :
When I was born I was brown.
When I grew up I was brown
When I'm sick I'm brown
When I go in the sun I'm brown
When I'm cold I'm brown
When I die I'll still be brown.
But you, When you were born you were pink.
When you grew up you were white.
When your sick you're green.
When you go in the sun you're red.
When you're cold you're blue.
When you die you'll be purple.
And you have the nerve to call me colored. Pass this on and stop racism

Tell your boss. Tell the boy he is offending you and to leave you alone. I am not sure what his religion has to do with this cause most 18 year old boys are annoying.
