The murder of our young Muslim sister Nabra Hassanen has horrified our community. This tragic loss of life comes at a time of increasing acts of violence and hate against Muslims, Arabs, mosques, and other people of faith and hou
ses of worship in the United States and abroad. This terrible act of violence cannot be separated from the current political moment, a moment where Black lives are under increased attack, and where bigots like Nabra's murderer are emboldened by anti-Black, anti-Arab, and anti-Muslim rhetoric.
The national origin and immigration status of the man who killed Nabra does not matter. He acted on vicious anti-Black and anti-Muslim racism that has become normalized today. To add insult to injury, the police of Fairfax county have not yet investigated Nabra's murder as a hate crime, instead claiming it was a "road rage" incident. We completely reject this false narrative put forward by the police, and demand a full investigation treating this as the hate crime that it is.
Join us as we stand in solidarity with Nabra's family and community against hate, and call on Fairfax county officials to investigate her brutal murder as a hate crime.
