Hate crime: Chicago landlord kills a Palestinian-American child
Sudan Events – Sumaya Sayed
A landlord in Chicago in the US state of Illinois stabbed a 6-year-old boy. He seriously wounded his mother in a probably Islamophoby-driven attack due to the family’s Islamic faith and the Israel-Palestine conflict. The boy’s life was brutally taken away when stabbed 26 times with a military-style knife at his unincorporated Plainfield home.
Wadea Al Fayoume, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the US’s largest Muslim civil rights organization, said on X that they are shocked and disturbed to learn that a landlord in Chicago expressing anti-Muslim and anti-Palestinian views broke into a Muslim family’s apartment and attacked them with a knife, injuring the mother and killing her 6-year-old son.
“The Islamophobic rhetoric and anti-Palestinian racism being spread by politicians, media outlets, and social media platforms must stop,” the organization added.
