This is shocking.. I went to Highschool in that area, and we never had any problems with the Jews...
Hopefully justice will be served..
Although, believe me, Pakistanis in that area are more then capable of handling themselves.
I’m sorry you haven’t met a nice Jew, because the world is filled with them. I work with Jews and have many Jewish friends (this sounds so stupic, but whatever), and I can tell you that I have had great interactions and relationships with them.
Jewish people are descent folks for the most part… The ones in Brooklyn are of the hisidic variety and they tend to keep to themselves. Most people complain because the isolate themselves and dont have any kind of interaction with the community. But they dont make any trouble, and if anything they are the ones that get the abuse… Once someone slashed the tires of an entire block of cars in the Jewish area among other incidents. So that why this is so shocking, i’v never heard of this ever happening before.
thanks all for ur views and sense of realization on this issue.
i feel that it is very important for all Muslims to be able to address this sort of hate crimes, without feeling scared or being quiet.
that does not mean that we need to be not nice, or we need to act just as bad, but we must remember, injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.
& accordingly, we have to fight for our rights as respectable US citizens and no one, merely because of our national, ethnic or religious background, has the license to act mean and cruel to us.
