As always, during a tragedy in which marginalized people are taken form us as a result of fear and misinformation and radicalization, I'm going to turn to books. Here's a list of books by incredible Muslim authors that you can pick up. (Feel free to add & I'll RT)
YO SOY MUSLIM Mark Gonzales and Mehrdokht Amini indiebound.org/book/978148148… 
(It's not YA, but I'm also going to recommend THE BIRD KING by @GWillowWilson as a must-read: indiebound.org/book/978080212…)
A LAND OF PERMANENT GOODBYES by Atia Abawi indiebound.org/book/978039954…
A GIRL LIKE THAT by Tanaz Bhathena indiebound.org/book/978037430…
This is by all means non-exhaustive, so again, add and I will RT (and maybe come back to this thread throughout the day).
Again and again and again I come back to this speech by Alex Gino -- where they say, "We all need to see each other as *people*"
de-colonize your bookshelves, help kids learn empathy and force them to see the world through eyes other than their own

.@yesitshanna brings up an excellent point - if you can, spare some $$ to go to the families of the victims today):
The links in this thread are all indiebound, but remember that you can always use libraries to decolonize your mindset/book shelves
