Rest In Power O’Shae Sibley!!!

@nytimes Reported:

“O’Shae Sibley was at a Brooklyn gas station with friends late Saturday night, filling up a car and blasting music by Beyoncé when a group of men approached and told them to stop dancing, according to friends.

The men began using slurs and Mr. Sibley, 28, a gay man who was a professional dancer and choreographer, confronted them, according to his friends and a video of the altercation. The argument escalated and one man stabbed Mr. Sibley, according to the police. Otis Pena, one of Mr. Sibley’s best friends, pressed on his wound to stop the bleeding before he was taken to Maimonides Medical Center where he was pronounced dead.”

A hate crimes task force is investigating.

Justice for O’Shae Sibley!!! ✊🏾

Prayers up for O’Shae’s family and friends. 🙏🏾🤎🕊️

Thoughts penned by writer/theologian @candicebenbow

"Debate your deacon and talk about it with your trustee because I don’t want to hear it.

O’Shae, may the fiercest and flyest of the angels carry you to your rest. And may your memory be a blessing to all who knew and loved you."

Photographs of a memorial at the gas station where Sibley was killed convey anger, loss, and a unified message: “We are done dying in silenc

finding out o'shae sibley's murderer is a muslim teenage boy has really disturbed something in me. i'm muslim, and i have seen for the past year (and if i'm honest, it has always been there but the past year has been...different) muslim leaders from every walk of faith, from every race, from every background, instead of denouncing white supremacy, instead of denouncing the very obvious divide and conquer that the pushers of this moral panic have explicitly said is all lies, instead of denouncing the police, instead of denouncing fox news and the very violent right, have instead pushed out justification over justification about how queer people are abominations of god and to be concise, repeated word for word what you hear on fox news and in evangelical Christian circles. i have seen this queerphobia not only spoken about in ways that make it seem like the secret sixth pillar of islam and if you aren't actively condemning gay people you're somehow not muslim enough, but spoken about as if its the ONLY issue in the world and as if this is some western conspiracy theory that is being used to tear God's People apart and destroy society. literally word for word, you cannot look at evangelical christians and muslims as separate when it comes to this issue. islam is infamous for having scholars disagree with each other on some of the most basic issues, yet this is the one thing they all come to agreement on, in this exact manner?

and should it come as a surprise to other muslims? when our leaders have barely spoken out about patriarchy? about spiritual, domestic, financial, physical, sexual abuse of women? when they crowdfund year after year to upgrade their masjids but rarely if ever put that money back into community for the homeless and poor? when until 2020, a big portion of these leaders denounced BLM riots and protests as "unislamic"? these are our leaders. these are our scholars. these are who we are supposed to look up to for answers, but how can we when they have FAILED not just us but non-muslims. we are supposed to be the protectors of justice and peace, but now the blood of this queer black man is on ALL their hands.

one of the signs of the day of judgement is the muslims will start to behave like the christians. another sign is that holding on to your deen will be like holding onto a piece of hot coal. and the more time goes on, it is just more confirmation that we are closer to that day.

I wanted to share an update with you all.

•

The man who brutally stabbed and killed O’Shea has been charged with murder as a hate crime and criminal possession of a weapon.

•

O’Shae Sibley deserves to be here. Voguing shouldn’t be a death sentence. Being gay shouldn’t be a death sentence. Being Black shouldn’t be a death sentence.

•

We must continue to push for Justice for O’Shae. These charges alone aren’t enough. Keep sharing his story. Keep speaking up. Keep educating. Keep fighting for change!
