This morning, Im shocked to learn from Anderson Cooper 360 that something horrible had happened at Virginia Tech, USA where at least 32 people including 2 professors were killed by an Asian male who later killed himself, making this the worst campus incident in the US.
Below is the footage from Jamal Al-Barghouti of the incident made via a cell-phone video which appeared on CNN.
Its horrifying something like this could happened.
From local news ths evening, it is reported that all Malayisan studying there are spared from the incident.
As usual people are pointing fingers at Muslims as the news reported that the gunman is an Asian origin. Somehow, the black goat is a Pakistani since VT hv large population of Asian from Pakistan. Later, they learned from the gunman's student visa that the killer is a Chinese. (the speculation link)
I guess, it will become harder for an Asian student to get into American Institution after this incident.

salam.
i also read the news. horrified. but dunno bout the specs till i come to ur blog bcos from the news they just said 'Asian man'. so they suspected a muslim, how can they wrongly identified a pakistani and a chinese? i mean, by the look we can tell rite? also from the pic i saw, the man being arrested dun have that pakistani look at all.

the fact that they're pointing fingers made me mad, at first. but after reading this;
Even if it does not turn out that the shooter is Muslim, this is a demonstration to Muslim jihadists all over that it is extremely easy to shoot and kill multiple American college students
so, i got it. they'd learned, terrorists are muslims.
well, as a muslim, i'm also sad that this incident happened. My consolodence goes to the family members of the victims.
Salam Dayana,
It is sad indeed
The speculation happens because the killer shot himself in his head, police cant identify his ID, only later they knew that he is a Chinese based on his visa.
It is sad too, when every single violence that occur nowadays, will be pointed towards Muslim.
I think its our responsibility to change this...
Thx for reading my blog :D
From CNN news update, the killer is actually a South Korean.
yups korean guy
at the end he committed suicide...
argh... hectic world!
crime!
my doa hope all of us live in peace...
Amin...
