'We are resilient': As San Diego's Muslim community reels from mosque shooting, it refuses to be intimidated

Two radicalized teens motivated by white supremacist, Islamophobic, antisemitic, and misogynistic beliefs opened fire at the Islamic Center of San Diego (housing a primary school) on Monday, killing three people—security guard Amin Abdullah, school teacher's husband Nadir Awad, and shopkeeper Mansour Kaziha—before one suspect fatally shot his companion and himself. The San Diego Muslim community, while grieving, has rallied in solidarity through large funeral prayers and vigils, vowing not to be intimidated, and calling for an end to hate speech and gun violence, with officials crediting lockdown protocols for saving over 140 children and staff.
