Hate Crime Continue to Rise in 2017
The suspect was yelling "hate speech or biased language" at two young women, one of whom was wearing a hijab.
The fatal stabbing of two men in Northeast Portland by a man shouting racial slurs against Muslims Friday evening was met with sorrow by the Ahmadiyya Muslim community, who were ready to welcome the holy month of love and harmony- Ramadan.
The suspect was yelling "hate speech or biased language" at two young women, one of whom was wearing a hijab. Three men tried to control him and were stabbed. Two of them died. The incident brought intense emotion of pain and grief to all of us as these two gentlemen ended up losing their lives. Our hearts go out to the families of these individuals.
It is distressing to see that hate crimes against Muslims continue to happen. I wonder why some people put spotlight on differences as it only leads to destruction. In my opinion, the major problem is that people are unaware of the beautiful teachings of the Holy book of Qur’an. By following the true teachings of Qur’an, we can become humans who share the universal bond of peace and love.
