Hundreds of Muslims from Chicago and neighboring cities gathered on Monday to attend the funeral of the 6-year-old Muslim boy who was murdered in a hate crime in Illinois.
Palestinian American boy Wadea al-Fayoume was stabbed 26 times by a 71-year-old landlord who was allegedly upset about the Israel-Hamas war.
Wadea’s mother, 32-year-old Hanaan Shahin, was seriously injured in the attack and was unable to attend her son’s funeral as she is still recovering in hospital, Chicago Sun Times reported.
