Horrors like the above are why I want everyone to stop saying "Young people are our hope!"

I was dreading them seeing the news.
My mum, sister & sister-in-law wear hijab. I constantly worry about them & everyone visibly Muslim.
In 2012, my brother's mosque in the Midwest was set on fire in an act of arson. My niblings were in there for Sunday school just hrs earlier

I'm so upset by this, I did not say that a 9 year old boy is the sole survivor of this horror.
His sister, mother, father, and grandmother were all murdered.

PLEASE DO NOT WRITE THE NAME OF THE WHITE SUPREMACIST ISLAMOPHOBIC FUCK WHO COMMITTED THIS BARBARIC ATTACK.
Don't make him famous. Just call him the murderer.
