Nizar Doar, his son Zacharia, and three friends had driven in from Dallas for the protest, and late on Sunday, Nizar was on his way back. “I just left my son in good condition. I told him, ‘Let's go to Dallas, I will pay for your dinner, you and your friends, I want you to come with us.’ They're young, they decided to try the good food in Austin. They stayed.
On Tuesday morning in front of City Hall, Nizar spoke at a press conference organized by the Dallas chapter of CAIR, the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights organization. CAIR is calling for the incident to be investigated as a hate crime, both locally and federally. “Given the information collected and provided, it is clear that the hate was a motivating factor in the stabbing,” said Hatem Natsheh with the Austin for Palestine Coalition on Tuesday.
