This shit really bugs me.
A 17 year old girl was killed in what appears to be a case of road rage in Northern VA.
That's a tragedy by any measure, and an outrageous act...
But that's not enough for the media, because she was a Muslim.
Google "Nabra Hassanen" and look at the headlines. While investigators have concluded that she was not targeted for her religious beliefs, the media just can't help but try to make the fact that she was a Muslim the major part of the story.
Through their agenda-driven reporting, they have actually reduced her entire existence to nothing but her faith.

HERNDON, Va. - A man has been charged with murder after police say he killed a 17-year-old Reston girl whose body was found in a pond hours after being reported missing during an early morning incident in Virginia.
Fairfax County Police say the victim, Nabra Hassanen, was with a group of teenagers of about 15 people walking and riding their bikes along Dranesville Road from a McDonald's restaurant at around 3:40 a.m. Sunday. The group got involved in a dispute with the driver of a vehicle after they attended an overnight event at the All Dulles Area Muslim Society (ADAMS) Center.
Police say a teenage boy got into an argument with the driver, identified as 22-year-old Darwin Martinez Torres. He ended up driving his car onto the curb as the group scattered. Witnesses say Torres caught up with them later at a nearby parking lot and got out of his vehicle, chasing them with a baseball bat. [h=4][/h] According to police, Torres struck Hassanen with the bat. Torres then put her into his car and took her to another location in Loudoun County.
Torres was later taken into custody by a Fairfax County police officer at around 5:15 a.m. after he located Torres' vehicle.
Officers continued to search the area for Hassanen, who was still missing. At around 3 p.m. Sunday, her body was found in a pond in the 21500 block of Ridgetop Circle in Sterling in Loudoun County.
Torres was then charged with her murder. The 22-year-old suspect appeared in court on Monday for his arraignment and was ordered held without bond.
Police say an autopsy performed on Monday confirmed Hassanen as the victim.
On Monday afternoon, Fairfax County police say the killing appears to be the result of a road rage incident and they have no evidence that Hassanen was targeted because of her race or religion.
