-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

An Arab Muslim student at Stanford University is calling on people to
spread compassion and kindness after he was struck Friday in a
hit-and-run that is being investigated as a hate crime. The driver
shouted "F*** you people" as he drove away. Abdulwahab Omira released a
