USA: Terror in the Midwest | Letters


Terrorism has no race or religion and should be condemned in all of its ugly forms. May God give comfort to the bereaving families and bring justice to the accused.

Terror in the Midwest | Letter

As a Muslim, I offer my deepest condolences to victims of a shooting that targeted Jews outside a Jewish community center and senior-living facility in Kansas [“3 shot to death at Jewish center, retirement enclave,” News, April 14].

Terrorism has no race or religion and should be condemned in all of its ugly forms. May God give comfort to the bereaving families and bring justice to the accused.

Multi-faith calls to end hatred

Once, during the time of the prophet Mohammed, a funeral passed by him. When he stood up for the deceased, the people around him said the funeral was for a Jewish person. Mohammed turned to them and said, "Was he not a human?" Last Sunday, when channels carried the news of a person opening fire at a Jewish community center, I realized that there is still persecution based on religion in our society. As a Muslim, more specifically as an American Muslim, I find this act of violence not only extreme but shameful. I condemn anti-Semitic violence and am especially sympathetic to my Jewish brothers and sisters due to shared reverence for our Israelite prophets.
