On February 10th, 2015, Deah Barakat, Yusor Abu-Salha, and Razan Abu-Salha were brutally murdered in a hate crime. Their deaths shook the local community and shockwaves were felt around the world. Their deaths left young Muslims in America feeling lost, scared, and heartbroken. Instead of responding with hate and darkness, the local community responded to this tragic event by providing a source of light for young Muslims and the community at large. With inspiration from Deah, Yusor, and Razan's work during their short lives, the Light House Project was born. The Light House Project provides a safe space physically by giving Muslims a place to meet and be open with their Muslim identity, and it provides a safe space for young Muslims by giving support to projects and programs that young Muslims want to pursue. The Light House Project's mission is to empower Muslim youth by giving them the resources and voice they need to achieve their goals and pursue their passions.

Farris Barakat lost his brother, sister in law and her sister in a brutal hate crime three years ago in North Carolina. Farris tells the story of growing up as an American, losing his family to a heinous crime and choosing forgiveness over hate in response. I hope that this interview continues to carry on the incredible legacy of our fellow Americans Deah, Yusor and Razan.

Farris Barakat is the brother of Deah, who--along with his wife Yusor and her sister Razan--died in a senseless, hateful killing three years ago. He joined us in-studio for a spiritual conversation about converting such darkness into positivity, through organizations like The Light House Project, as well as Our Three Winners. https://projectlight.house/ https://www.ourthreewinners.org/ Guest: Farris Barakat Host/Producer: Tariq I.

“Our Three Winners” The legacy of the family members who were killed by a terrorist in NC Wednesday. Deah, Yusor, and Razan.

On February 10, 2015, Suzanne Barakat's brother Deah, her sister-in-law Yusor and Yusor's sister Razan were murdered by their neighbor in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The perpetrator's story, that he killed them over a traffic dispute, went unquestioned by the media and police until Barakat spoke out at a press conference, calling the murders what they really were: hate crimes. As she reflects on how she and her family reclaimed control of their narrative, Barakat calls on us to speak up when we witness hateful bigotry and express our allyship with those who face discrimination.

Dia 10 de fevereiro de 2015, o irmão de Suzanne Barakat, Deah, sua cunhada Yusor e a irmã de Yusor, Razan, foram assassinados por seu vizinho em Chapel Hill, Carolina do Norte. A história do autor do crime, de que os matou por uma discussão de trânsito, não foi questionada pela imprensa ou pela polícia até que Suzanne resolveu falar em uma entrevista coletiva, chamando os assassinatos pelo que eles realmente eram: crimes de ódio. Enquanto Suzanne reflete sobre como ela e sua família retomaram o controle da narrativa, ela nos convoca a nos posicionarmos, quando presenciarmos o ódio e a intolerância, e expressarmos nossa aliança por aqueles que enfrentam a discriminação.

El 10 de febrero de 2015, Deah, el hermano de Suzanne Barakat, su cuñada Yusor y la hermana de esta, Razan, fueron asesinadas por su vecino en Chapel Hill, Carolina del Norte. La versión del criminal, de haberles matado por una disputa de tráfico, fue difundida por la prensa a través de la misma lente, hasta que Barakat declaró en una rueda de prensa el verdadero motivo del crimen: odio por ser de otra fe religiosa. Mientras reflexiona acerca de los acontecimientos, Barakat nos anima a hablar cada vez que seamos testigos de la intolerancia llena de odio y a expresar nuestra solidaridad con aquellos que sufren la discriminación.

Am 10. Februar 2015 wurden Suzanne Barakats Bruder Deah, ihre Schwägerin Yusor und deren Schwester Razan von ihrem Nachbar in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, umgebracht. Die Behauptung des Täters, er habe sie bei einer Auseinandersetzung im Straßenverkehr getötet, wurde von den Medien und der Polizei ungefragt übernommen, bis Barakat sich in einer Pressekonferenz äußerte und die Morde bei ihrem richtigen Namen nannte: Verbrechen aus Hass. Mit ihrem Bericht darüber, wie sie und ihre Familie die Kontrolle über ihre Geschichte zurückgewannen, fordert Barakat uns auf, hasserfüllter Intoleranz mit Zivilcourage zu begegnen und uns auf die Seite der Opfer von Diskriminierung zu stellen.

Selon l'assassin, il les aurait tués suite à une dispute de voiture. Sa version n'a pas été questionnée par les médias et la police jusqu'à ce que Barakat s'exprime lors d'une conférence de presse, appelant les meurtres par leur vrai nom : des crimes de haine. En relatant comment sa famille et elle ont reconquis leur histoire, Barakat nous appelle à nous exprimer quand nous sommes témoin d'une intolérance haineuse et d'exprimer notre soutien envers ceux qui font face à la discrimination.
