Hanaan Shahin, a Palestinian American woman, is speaking out for the first time since her 6-year-old son was killed in a suspected hate crime in a Chicago suburb. The attack, which left Shahin with multiple stab wounds, was allegedly carried out by their landlord, who targeted them because of their Muslim faith. The incident is believed to be a response to the escalating conflict between Israel and Hamas. Shahin, who recently released from the hospital, has issued a statement through the Chicago chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), asking the public to "pray for peace" and expressing her belief in the pursuit of justice. The head of CAIR-Chicago, Ahmed Rehab, met with Shahin after her release and described her as strong and focused on her physical and mental recovery. Despite the painful loss and trauma she experienced, Shahin's spirit remains strong, finding solace in her faith. Shahin's call for peace comes amid rising tensions surrounding the Israel-Palestine conflict and serves as a reminder to strive for peace and unity in the face of hatred and violence.
