'You Muslims must die': 71-year-old Joseph M. Czuba facing hate crime charges in death of Palestinian boy Wadea Al-FayoumeJoseph M. Czuba was charged in the Plainfield, IL murder of 6-year-old Wadea Al-Fayoume, whose mother was also injured on South Lincoln Highway.A man stabbed a child to death and critically injured a woman in a suburb of Chicago on Saturday morning because they are Muslim, the Will County Sheriff's Office said Sunday.
Wadea's life was brutally taken away on Saturday, when he was stabbed 26 times with a military-style knife at his unincorporated Plainfield home just before 11:40 a.m. "What we have is a murdered Palestinian child by someone who is radicalized by the environment in which we live right now, that casts Palestinians as human animals," said Ahmed Rehab, president of the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
While investigators did not reveal their reasons for believing that, the president of the Council on Arab American Relations stood alongside the murdered boy's father and described text messages sent to him by his ex-wife from the hospital, where she is still recovering from her own injuries.
