Police are looking for a six-foot white man who is reported to have beaten a student from Saudi Arabia to death in Wisconsin.
Hussain Saeed al-Nahdi, 24, from Buraydah, was killed outside a pizza shop in Menomonie during the early hours of Sunday morning.
"This is a painful time on campus for everyone," said Bob Meyer, chancellor of the University of Wisconsin-Stout, in a blog.
"My heart aches for Hussain Saeed al-Nahdi's family, which received the awful information Monday afternoon that their son had been fatally injured in downtown Menomonie early Sunday."
Nahdi died as a result of severe head injuries in hospital on Monday. Police had found him bleeding from the mouth and nose at around two o'clock on Sunday morning.
"On October 30 at approximately 2:11am, the Menomonie Police Department and Menomonie Fire Department were dispatched to the 400 block of Main Street East, near Toppers Pizza, for a report of a physical altercation.
"Upon arrival, officers located an unconscious male, bleeding from his mouth and nose."
A memorial fund has been set up in Nahdi's memory. At the time of publication, a total of $1,304 out of a target of $2,000 had been pledged in one day.
Islamophobic attacks have been increasing in the US over the past year. Earlier this month, a Pakistani boy decided to leave the country after he was beaten up on a bus for being a Muslim. Many have linked the increase to Donald Trump's presidential campaign, where he has employed xenophobic language and suggested policies that target Muslims.

This is unfair and really painful. Tolerance is one thing people need to practise. Every person is free to follow whatever religion he wants to. It should not bother anybody. You are living in a society where there are many communities following different religious teachings. So everyone must exhibit tolerance and strive to establish peace. These violent acts must be stopped. Islam is religion of peace. Muslims have full right to live peacefully and without any fear.
ReplyDeleteA Very condemnable act.Taking someone's life for no reason is a most inhumane act.
ReplyDeleteThis is awful. I see no difference between this man and Daesh. Both think killing and maiming other people because they aren't like you is justifiable.
ReplyDeleteIslam is very peaceful religion and it's teachings are very simple.islam gives the equal right to everyone doesn't matter if someone white or black.we should understand the value of life it's not a joke to kill someone without any reason .These kind of behavior should be stopped.
ReplyDeleteIt's a very painful and cruel incident. No one has right to kill anyone based on their religion or their appearance. Every life is precious no matter what religion they follow or from which part of world they belong. It should be stopped.
