| Lordpatch User Info... | College Shooting Exposes Reality by Shujaat Wasty ( [email protected] ) Montreal September 14, 2006: As the shooting at Dawson College on September 13, 2006 in Montreal was happening, I was anxiously thinking about the safety of the students – particularly that of my cousin – and cringing, waiting for a description of the gunmen. Such is the state of Muslims nowadays that any time there is a criminal attack, they wait with great fear, hoping and praying that the criminal may not be someone of Muslim background. After all, the general pattern dictates that the only time faith of a criminal is associated with him is if he is a Muslim, with subsequent reprisals on the community at large. In this specific incident, the confirmed perpetrator of the attack turned out to be a Caucasian male, though it is yet unclear whether there were accomplices. While we offer prayers and condolences to those affected by the shooting, either directly or indirectly, and hope that they will be able to get through this difficult time, let us, for a moment, paint a hypothetical situation: what if the shooters had been Arabs or Muslim?

| J User Info... | what if the shooter was arab or muslim... I think if it were america you'd have alot of redneck republican bush supporters pulling out the nooses, but in reality up here to ME(note that point) race doesn't matter so much as the crime at hand. Justice is served regardless of race. I know its easy to say cause the hypothetical situation didn't happen(otherwise it wouldn't be a hypothesis). I think the worst that would happen is the USA govt or media would condemn us for harbouring more terrorists and alllowing such an act to be carried out. but to post this the day after the attack, is probly a bit too soon - Thu, 14 Sep 2006 2:24pm Edited: Thu, 14 Sep 2006 2:25pm | ||
| Mofo User Info... | spoken like a true asshole, (I mean cut and copied like one) too bad those people died, whew! just thank God (sorry Mohammed) that it wasn't one of us right? So long as you and yours don't have the blood on your hands all is well, but until next time we'll sit pensively awaiting the next shooting so we can shout out loud how much it sucks to be a minority, all the while fitting nicely into the victim description. Well said Lordpatch, a fine and selfish showing of your minoirty. Way to make you own look like selfish assholes. I happen to know many Arabs and Muslims who I respect and know not to be such whiners who do nothing but make themselves (and they're own in the process) look like whiners. Not that members of my own race don't do the same....just thought I'd appauld a fine showing! Bravo!! - Thu, 14 Sep 2006 2:57pm Edited: Thu, 14 Sep 2006 3:04pm | ||

| Sati User Info... | I'm embarrassed that this is on our sites. It shows a complete lack of compassion. "While we offer prayers and condolences.." my ass. WE?? Thats obviously not what the writer & the people who re-posted this shit the day after it happened were doing. Heartless pricks. Even I don't blame people for not coming to this board anymore. - Sat, 16 Sep 2006 2:52pm Edited: Sat, 16 Sep 2006 2:54pm | ||
