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.

"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

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.

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.

Lynching still exists.

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.

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

As many of you probably know, Nabra Hassanen was murdered a couple days ago. She was a beautiful 17 y/o girl, and my heart aches for her and her family. I drew this dedicated to her and her family, but I could not capture all the beauty she held. I also dedicate this to anyone who faces discrimination due to religion. If you are a Muslim, I want you to know that I am here, if you need to talk, message me. I wish there was more that I could do, i really, really do. This blog is safe and welcomes anyone and everyone. I know that many, many others have lost their lives, and I grieve for them all. All of them will be missed. I could never fully understand, but I hope to be a help to anyone who needs it.
