ICNA strongly condemns the killing of six-year old Wadea Al-Fayoume and the stabbing of his mother Hannan Shahin by their landlord, for no reason but pure hate, all because of their Palestinian background.
For the past week or so we have found ourselves without words to see a genocide unfolding right before our eyes. What words can adequately express the pain and suffering to see a whole nation being forced into starvation and with constant bombing? And now right here at home in the USA, our Muslim community has become the target of hatred and violence…a little innocent child and his helpless mother!
ICNA firmly states that this crime is not an isolated one. As the criminal carried out this heinous crime, he shouted “You Muslims must die!”? Often times crimes of such nature are fueled by some our own leaders and media outlets who use dehumanizing language such as calling Palestinians human animals; an ideology that has long been spread by haters of Islam and Muslims.
We must unite to reform those in our society that allow hateful propaganda to
inspire the murder of others as in this case an innocent child. We call on our lawmakers to stop spewing misleading information of what is going on in Gaza. We also call on them to condemn the hate that is spreading here in our country. We must ensure that the ideology of hate must fail to divide us.
May this little innocent child leave this world in the most dignified way as a little Shaheed; a martyr. We pray to Allah SWT for the speedy recovery of sister Hannan Shahin and the strength for her to move on. May Allah SWT protect all!
