Tragic Hate Crime: 6-Year-Old Muslim Boy Fatally Stabbed in Anti-Muslim Attack

A 6-year-old boy was killed and his mother was wounded in an anti-Muslim attack outside Chicago on Saturday. The attacker, their landlord, targeted them due to their Muslim identity and the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. The boy was stabbed 26 times and pronounced dead at the hospital, while his mother survived with serious injuries. The suspect has been charged with first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, hate crime, and aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. The Council on American-Islamic Relations denounced the stabbing and called for a swift investigation into the incident as a hate crime.
