Media Cries H**e Crime Over Muslim Girl K**led By I*****l A***n in Road Rage

The latest spurious “h**e crime” accusation came after an i*****l i*******t murdered a Muslim teenager with a baseball bat last weekend.
In a v***l news incident that was perfectly crafted for an “Islamophobia in the time of Trump” pitch, news sources reported 17-year-old Nabra Hassanen was k**led while walking to a mosque for Ramadan services.
Shortly after the incident went v***l because it involved a Muslim teenager being k**led, BuzzFeed reported police claimed there was no evidence of the incident being a h**e crime. However, that did not stop people from finding a way to claim the incident was a h**e crime and find ways to blame President Trump.
The Daily Beast ran the headline, “Will Donald Trump Ever Be Interested In the Death of a Muslim?” leading with the story about Hassanen. In the article, author Dean Obeidallah asks, “Was the hijab-wearing Hassanen targeted for her faith?” and then immediately states, “The police stated Monday that as of now they are not investigating this as a h**e crime.”
Despite outright admitting police were not investigating the incident as a h**e crime and had no reason to suspect anti-Muslim h**e was at play, Obeidallah claims in his piece, “Trump has put together the most anti-Muslim administration ever. To put it bluntly there is a direct line from the Trump White House to anti-Muslim h**e.”
Al-Jazeera likewise admitted police were not investigating the crime as a h**e crime before writing in bold print, “Surge in h**e crimes,” and claiming, “Anti-Muslim h**e crimes have surged in recent years.”
BET jumped in, writing, “Muslim teen Nabra Hassanen was brutally beaten to death and police aren't calling it a h**e crime.”
The Cut blatantly ran the headline, “Don’t Tell Me Nabra Hassanen’s Murder Wasn’t a H**e Crime.”
As it turns out, it wasn’t a h**e crime.
On Monday, NBC Washington reported police concluded Hassanen was not k**led because she was a Muslim leaving a mosque. Rather, the police said it was because of 22-year-old i*****l i*******t Darwin Martinez Torres’ road rage.
In a statement on Monday, police said, “This tragic case appears to be the result of a road rage incident involving the suspect, who was driving and who is now charged with murder, and a group of teenagers who was walking and riding bikes in and along a roadway," police said in a statement Monday afternoon.”

“Our investigation at this point in no way indicates the victim was targeted because of her race or religion," it continued.
Despite the police repeating again, “There is nothing at this point to indicate that this tragic case was a h**e crime. No evidence has been recovered that showed this was a h**e crime. Nothing indicates it was motivated by race or religion” after it was determined to be a road rage incident, people are still attempting to politicizing the tragedy.
Hassanen’s father disputed the idea that his daughter’s death was road rage, telling the Guardian, “He k**led my daughter because she is Muslim. That’s what I believe. That’s what I told him [the detective.]”
He said he also told the detective, “I want to ask him one question. Why did he do that? Because he doesn’t like Muslims, or what?’ He tells me he has no answer for that. This answer is going to be in the court.”
Human rights lawyer Arjun Sethi tweeted out that Hassanen’s father’s statement, adding, “H**e is terrorizing our communities.”
Documentary filmmaker Jose Antonio Vargas responded to news about the i*****l a***n k*****g Hassanen by implying “we need more facts and context,” despite multiple statements from the police.
Of course, Trump will still be expected to issue a statement apologizing for yet another false h**e crime.
