You don’t need to get everyone to think alike
But the thing is, the act of one single person can create a whole lot fo changes
This guys who blew himself in Manchester, how many deep hate did he create on the English? On particular individuals? I have to say, I don’t think I’d just sit and weep if someone had killed my daughter, wife or mother because of some retarded religion. You can expected lone wolves or small groups to start hitting the muslims in their countries soon.
I don’t know why people are seemingly capable of putting these people in the category they belong in - TERRORISTS. They terrorize Muslims and non-Muslims alike. Hating on regular peaceful Muslims does nothing but make it easier for them to recruit.
But very often the peaceful mulims become crazy muslims
As does the occasional peaceful Trump supporter, turn into a psycho killer.
Why do they do that?
And once more I say this
If you already have your own crazies, why importing more on top of those?
Taliesin Myrddin Namkai Meche, My dear baby boy passed on yesterday while protecting two young Muslim girls from a racist man on the train in Portland. He was a hero and will remain a hero on the other side of the veil. Shining bright star I love you forever.
Just graduated from Reed College, evidently with honors. There’s a few bucks nobody will get much return out of.
Meanwhile, the suspect.
35 year old known white supremacist and felon with a fifteen year rap sheet.
And why does this sort of individual is still allowed to roam free?
Because Republicans need criminals.
Qu’est-ce que c’est?
(J’ai fait une correction à mon français)
That’s just tragic. Heart broken for his loved ones.
Fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better. Run run run run run run run away…

As an American Muslim who has lived in Portland for 31 years, I went numb when I learned about this attack. This is my city, a city that not only is full of loving and tolerant people but also one that has consistently shown its character at times of difficulty. After 9/11, my mosque (the Portland Rizwan Mosque) stood out as being the first and oldest mosque built in Portland. Although we received a handful of threatening calls, we received more than 200 calls of support. People lined our doors with flowers and messages of support, reminding us that we are welcome as neighbors here in our home.
But yesterday’s attack opened my eyes. First, I learned that despite the tolerance, ignorance and fear still lives within people here in my city. Pew Research reported in 2014 that 62 percent of Americans don’t know a Muslim, which explains why so many Americans are convinced that Islam and/or Muslims stand against the values and freedoms of our country. If you don’t know a Muslim, how will you ever know whether the hyped narrative online is true? Even here in Portland, this ignorance is providing fertile soil for hatred and fear to grow.
But I also learned what true character, valor and courage look like. These three men who protected these teens put themselves at risk by standing up for those who could not do so for themselves. They are real-life heroes. My heart and prayers are with the families of these heroes. Your lives are changed forever, but please be proud of your loved one and know that they have inspired countless people with their courage and integrity. And as a man of faith, I am convinced that God will reward them in the afterlife, where I pray they find eternal peace.
Finally, as a Muslim I learned that I have much work to do. I am proud of the interfaith and outreach work that we have done within the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, but we failed to reach Jeremy Christian, whose Facebook page demonstrates that his far-right extremist views were never resolved. For the past five months, I have been sitting for two hours every Saturday at Washington Square Mall to meet people and give everyone an opportunity to meet a Muslim. It’s part of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community’s nationwide initiative “Coffee, Cake and True Islam,” which is meant to remove ignorance through conversation. We are there every Saturday and will seek more ways to make ourselves available.
To the unnamed heroes and the many courageous souls who tended to the victims and even chased after Christian when he fled the scene, I thank you. As a Muslim, as an Oregonian, as an American, as a father and as a human, I thank you for showing me that humanity and honor are still alive. To all my fellow Americans and Oregonians, I ask you to honor these heroes, but I also ask you to inculcate that same spirit of courage within yourselves to destroy any ignorance, fear or hatred that may live in your heart. You will find in me a partner in that cause.
Harris Zafar is the national spokesperson for the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community USA. He lives in Southwest Portland.
I shared a house with an Iranian for a couple years, I had the basement I was a sitting duck, or maybe Yazdan’s aka Dan’s handlers in Tehran thought i helped with cover.
I haven’t counted them up. I know/have known several (maybe half a dozen) quite well, and I have had possibly hundreds in my classes, have worked with more than I can remember, and have friends who have Muslim friends. Have done business with countless Muslims. Why do you ask?
Sorry, I meant that for Lou.
I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that both know Muslims and we both view them as human beings.
