Horrific. I am Beside myself.

In Plainfield, IL, a 71 year old man is in custody for stabbing to death an 6-year-old Palestinian child named Wadea Al-Fayoume & nearly killing his mother.😓

The murderer stabbed the child 26 times & yelled "you Muslims must die!"😳

No charges filed yet. Police are investigating.

Please be safe my friends. Be diligent and look out for each other. God help us.
