An already disturbing case about a 17-year-old Muslim girl killed as she walked to her mosque took another unsettling turn after an indictment alleged the victim was raped as well.

The indictment Monday includes capital murder and rape charges and will allow prosecutors to pursue a death-penalty case against Darwin Martinez-Torres, 22, of Sterling.

He is accused in the slaying of Nabra Hassanen of Reston, whose death back in June rattled northern Virginia's Muslim community.

*Muslim teens get literally harassed and murdered because they’re muslim*

Media: “There is no evidence that indicates that this was a hate crime.”

Do people realize that the justice for nabra tag isnt just about the fact that they want her murderer prisoned? He's already been charged with her murder. Justice for Nabra is about the unjust treatment this girl had to go through and the countless other Muslims go through when we're the target of violence. Justice for Nabra is about how her murder wasnt even investigated as a hate crime. They didnt even try and look at that possibility. They immediately sited it as a road rage, because apparently the only reason a 17-year-old Muslim hijabi walking towards a Mosque during Ramadan can be murdered is by a man who was too angry or frustrated while driving, so he decided to get out and beat her with a bat. Justice for Nabra is about the rise in hate crimes against Muslims and the measures people in power are taking to silence that thought. Its about getting justice for Nabra, because she deserves for her story to be told the right way.

Racism. It’s a heavy word. It’s a word created out of fear. It demeans the weak, the poor, the desperate. It’s a word that can kill, burn, torture generations of humans without a single thought to human value or life. It’s a word that creates division. It’s a word that can kill whole nations and colonies. It’s why the holocaust happened. It’s why other types of select groups are under attack now. We must take care. We must take care. Learn from history and be better human beings.

"A spokeswoman said that Jonathan Solomon, a 24-year-old from South Carolina, had been arrested just after 10 a.m., and added that “at this time, the incident does not appear to be motivated by bias.” right.. because it's totally normal to light up a murder victim's memorial.. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/man-sets-fire-memorial-slain-virginia-teen-nabra-hassanen-article-1.3266085?cid=bitly

[judas-mulder]

But she was killed from "road rage" and it wasn't a hate crime YEAH OKAY, SOUNDS FUCKING FAKE

[1minhomo1]

Would y'all like to know the reason why Nabra Hassanen’s murder is not being classified as a hate crime? Because shit like this is only called terrorism when white people are the victims.

#JusticeforNabra

I’m reeling after today

Nabra you beautiful girl, I am so sorry that someone saw your hijab and hated you

and hated you enough to terrorize you

and then hated you enough to beat you to death, my dear sweet little sister.

i am sorry

i am so sorry

i was your age only 5 years ago

17 year old queen with the world before her

and now it’s gone 

submerged in the pond where they found your body

i know you are in a better place, little sister, but oh how i wish your life could have been fuller

sweeter

i wish your last moments had been peaceful

oh Allah (SWT) please grant this girl the highest place in Paradise,

grant this girl a palace and all the happiness she has earned.

Ameen.

[khaleesiii88]

Let it be a Caucasian girl whose body was found in a pond and there would be an uproar and accusations of terrorist attacks on the Caucasian race. Where is the damn justice?! why would a Muslim girl in a hijab be attacked, kidnapped and possibly raped (astaghfurallah) and we are really gonna sit here and say this was "Road Rage" you have got to be effing kidding me!?! If Nabra was white this would be on national television, on every channel and everyone would be targeting muslims even more. The end is near y'all. Road rage my ASS!!!! Garbage justice system is what I call it TBH

For whom do you proclaim #NoMuslimBanEver? For Ching-In Chen, it’s Nabra Hassanen.

[daughterofdessalines]

Lynching still exists.

[peachyzee]

Today I cried in the arms of my mother. I cried for Nabra. Tears and tears. I can’t explain how heartbroken and horrified we are as a community. Yesterday in our evening prayers there were just lines of mothers crying. They cried with their arms wrapped around their sons and daughters. I cry for Nabra, for the families in London, for Shadi, and for the mothers,fathers,and families losing people whom they love. I am crying for those facing injustice and those facing obstacles in life. May god watch over us and ease our pain.

Re: islamophobia

Whilst the rise in islamophobic violence is disconcerting, this is not the time to indulge hysteria. Violence is something we’re blessed not to witness on a consistent basis in the West. People in Somalia, Yemen, Congo, Palestine, Syria, Venezuela, Myanmar can’t say the same. Does our distress impact us more than their distress impacts them? Yes, but only because of our perception. I understand that what I’m proposing is antithetical to the lulling affirmations floating around on Tumblr, but hear me out when I say that these incidents are wake-up calls. This is not the time to sleep. This is a time for expansion, not contraction. This is a time for idealism, not ideologies. This is a time for transcending evil, not resisting it.This is a time for bold hope, not defiant despair. These are isolated incidents. Please don’t spread hysteria by making it seem like every Muslim is a marked person. That is not only false, but it’s anti- Islaamic to spread despair. That’s not the ethos of our religion. We believe that nothing happens except by the permission of Allaah and that everyone was born with a limited time on earth, according to His perfect wisdom. No one will escape what has been decreed for them. No one. So to inspire fear won’t keep death at bay, only joy. Furthermore, the prophet sallAllaahu alayhi wasallam has taught us that these times will come and he has taught us to reflect on ourselves when tragedies strike We’ve been given heads up so as to find solace in patience, knowing that this world was nothing but a test. Whether in prosperity or adversity, we’re always being tested. Falling into despair and lashing out at non-Muslims, blaming them as a collective and wanting their sympathy, is pathetic. They didn’t cause this. This is a test from Allaah. They are merely the means through which we’re tested.

We’ve abandoned ourselves and practicing the truth of Islaam. People are either using it as a cover for their totalitarianism or being nihilistic about it. The world needs Muslims to wake tf up. We’re being affected by the same evil that affects those oppressed and undermined elsewhere: the degradation of humanity and loss of the empathetic bond that tie us all. Our existence isn’t atomized; our apathy has returned to haunt us. For 16 years, the West led by the US has been terrorizing the world and it’s only now that we’re realizing that a monster doesn’t have loyalty; its tyranny will be extended to the poor and minorities. It will be extended to blacks and refugees and the working class. Don’t you see? It’s come full circle, and all the while we trusted that they’d keep us safe. But alas, they were saving the best for last. So, check yourselves. You have a duty towards yourself: to not despair, towards Allaah: to be cognizant of the fact that most of the time we enjoy stability and peace, and towards others: to not take out your anger or frustration on them.

إِنَّمَا ذَٰلِكُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ يُخَوِّفُ أَوْلِيَاءَهُ فَلَا تَخَافُوهُمْ وَخَافُونِ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ

{It is only Shaitaan (Satan) that suggests to you the fear of his Auliyaa [supporters and friends] so fear them not, but fear Me, if you are (true) believers. } (Aali Imran 3:175)

{مَّا كَانَ اللَّهُ لِيَذَرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَىٰ مَا أَنتُمْ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّىٰ يَمِيزَ الْخَبِيثَ مِنَ الطَّيِّبِ ۗ وَمَا كَانَ اللَّهُ لِيُطْلِعَكُمْ عَلَى الْغَيْبِ وَلَٰكِنَّ اللَّهَ يَجْتَبِي مِن رُّسُلِهِ مَن يَشَاءُ ۖ فَآمِنُوا بِاللَّهِ وَرُسُلِهِ ۚ وَإِن تُؤْمِنُوا وَتَتَّقُوا فَلَكُمْ أَجْرٌ عَظِيمٌ

{Allaah will not leave the believers in the state in which you are now, until He distinguishes the wicked from the good. Nor will Allaah disclose to you the secrets of the Ghaib (unseen), but Allaah chooses of His Messengers whom He pleases. So believe in Allaah and His Messengers. And if you believe and fear Allaah, then for you there is a great reward. } (Aali Imran 3:179)

أَوَلَمَّا أَصَابَتْكُم مُّصِيبَةٌ قَدْ أَصَبْتُم مِّثْلَيْهَا قُلْتُمْ أَنَّىٰ هَٰذَا ۖ قُلْ هُوَ مِنْ عِندِ أَنفُسِكُمْ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ

{(What is the matter with you?) When a single disaster smites you, although you smote (your enemies) with one twice as great, you say: “From where does this come to us?” Say (to them), “It is from yourselves (because of your evil deeds).” And Allaah has power over all things.} (Aali Imran 3:165)

إِن يَنصُرْكُمُ اللَّهُ فَلَا غَالِبَ لَكُمْ ۖ وَإِن يَخْذُلْكُمْ فَمَن ذَا الَّذِي يَنصُرُكُم مِّن بَعْدِهِ ۗ وَعَلَى اللَّهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ

{If Allaah helps you, none can overcome you; and if He forsakes you, who is there after Him that can help you? And in Allaah (Alone) let believers put their trust. } (Aali Imran 3:160)

وَلَئِن قُتِلْتُمْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أَوْ مُتُّمْ لَمَغْفِرَةٌ مِّنَ اللَّهِ وَرَحْمَةٌ خَيْرٌ مِّمَّا يَجْمَعُونَ

{And if you are killed or die in the Way of Allaah, forgiveness and mercy from Allaah are far better than all that they amass (of worldly wealths, etc.).} (Aali Imran 3:157)

وَلَئِن مُّتُّمْ أَوْ قُتِلْتُمْ لَإِلَى اللَّهِ تُحْشَرُونَ

{And whether you die, or are killed, verily, unto Allaah you shall be gathered. } (Aali Imran 3:158)

وَلَا تَهِنُوا وَلَا تَحْزَنُوا وَأَنتُمُ الْأَعْلَوْنَ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ

{So do not become weak (against your enemy), nor be sad, and you will be superior (in victory) if you are indeed (true) believers.} (Aali Imran 3:139)

{أَمْ حَسِبْتُمْ أَن تَدْخُلُوا الْجَنَّةَ وَلَمَّا يَأْتِكُم مَّثَلُ الَّذِينَ خَلَوْا مِن قَبْلِكُم ۖ مَّسَّتْهُمُ الْبَأْسَاءُ وَالضَّرَّاءُ وَزُلْزِلُوا حَتَّىٰ يَقُولَ الرَّسُولُ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مَعَهُ مَتَىٰ نَصْرُ اللَّهِ ۗ أَلَا إِنَّ نَصْرَ اللَّهِ قَرِيبٌ

{Or think you that you will enter Paradise without such (trials) as came to those who passed away before you? They were afflicted with severe poverty and ailments and were so shaken that even the Messenger and those who believed along with him said, “When (will come) the Help of Allaah?” Yes! Certainly, the Help of Allaah is near! } (Al-Baqarah 2:214)

[gunnerina]

This stuff is hitting too close to home. I already stay up every night until my baba comes home. My friends and I have gone out early for suhoor many times, some of us are not as visibly Muslim but all of us do this in the same area where Nabra was taken. And now this is one of many crimes against Muslims happening in my area. It's terrifying and heartbreaking to know that people like trump have given such confidence to such evil people. Never forget Nabra Hassanen. We marginalized people need to look out for one another because no one else will.

[theveiledrose]

May Allah grant Nabra the highest Jannah and may her family be at ease...
