Saipov hopped out of the truck and shouted "Allahu Akbar," or "God is great," before firing a BB or pellet gun, four senior law enforcement sources said. Law enforcement sources said he left a note in the truck claiming he committed the attack for the Islamic State terrorist group.
"From our perspective as Muslim Americans, we are just incredibly heartbroken," Nasher added. "And just thinking about the senseless blood that was spilled and thinking about the families who are now in mourning, it's difficult to even talk." Ahmad, the physician, said he worried about backlash every time an attack like Tuesday's happens. But "I feel I'm more worried about what the response from political leadership would be." he said.
I for one do not think blaming an entire group of people is the answer or appropriate response to tragedies such this one. A lot of people have this idea that most Muslims think the same way these terrorists think but in reality, it is really just a small percentage. Sure it could be hard to know if a Muslim American is a secret member of Isis, but it is not a reasonable justification for making assumptions about another person's belief. But is there an actual solution to stopping attacks involving Isis members from happening?
It wouldn't be fair to know that muslim people are look at a problem because of other. Their are innocent people who are getting blamed but how can we stop this without accusing a group of people. I believe that their isn't any way that we can solve this because you never expect things like this to happen and you can't hold people responsible for others actions. Also when you claim someone as a terrorist it belittles them as a person because all you see is a monster that doesn't care for others safety only as a threat and misconceptions about people is not the way you want your country to be looked at if you allow people of race to be apart of the United States.
ReplyDeleteTo blame all Muslims for this incident would be very wrong because all are not the same. Taking this as a sign that all of these people think the same is is very disrespectful to all these people. It also makes it hard for people to see that Isis attacks don't only happen from Muslims. Its no really sure way of telling or not if you can stop Isis, but taking a step back and trying to look at all involved not only the Muslim people and then maybe we can find a way.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with that blaming an entire group doesn't make sense because they were not involved in the crime. It's bad enough that people already look down on them and blame them for some of the death in this country. They constantly are having to look over their shoulder based on the fact that they has a population has done nothing wrong. Just a few bad apples. know all they have to do is look over their shoulder even more.
