FAIRFAX, Va – Social engineering has brought us the current political and social climate that we see today. It has legitimized and validated people who harbored cultural biases. Nabra had three strikes against her, she was black, Muslim, and a female, all three components put her at increased risk of social ostracization and potential violence.

Activists and the mother of a Muslim American teenager who was murdered in Virginia on Sunday rejected the police’s conclusion that the crime was not motivated by hate.
Nabra Hassanen was assaulted before dawn on Sunday in Sterling, Virginia, about 50 km west of Washington DC, after attending overnight prayers at the All Dulles Area Muslim Society mosque for the holy month of Ramadan.
