Teen girl beaten by other girls because she is Muslim [View all]

----
As os today, Manaal is recovering in the hospital. Her mom pressed charges against the girls who beat her. I'm not naive enough to believe the hate hasn't always been here in America, but Trump and his antics make these people believe they can do this type of shit to Muslims, black/brown ppl, LGBTQ, disabled. Just shameful.
