3 Muslim students killed in North Carolina - Veronica Nichols P2
Three innocent people were shot inside their home in Chapel Hill in North Carolina. Although the man who committed this heinous act claims it was because of a long running dispute over parking. However it seems like it could have easily been motivated by the fact that his victims were muslim. This sort of thing disgusts me, even if it was just about the parking place and not about their race or religion do we really want to live in a world where people just brush off a killing like oh don't worry it was only about a parking space? Although I honestly don't believe that was this mans only motivation. It seems too me that all over the world recently anti- Muslim feelings have been increasing. People can't seem t wrap their head s around the fact that those committing terrorist attacks are a small group of people that in no way represent the feelings of the islamic people as a whole. The islamic religion is no different than other religions in its teachings of peace. They do not by any means say that it is ok to hurt people and pretty much all muslims think that terrorism is a terrible thing and world never support it and are firm in their beliefs that their god would also never support it. I just wish that people would have tolerance and see that there are extremists in every group.

This is such a terrible thing. Even if it was a parking dispute that is the most ridiculous excuse for murder that I've ever heard. This is a good example of racism that is still around today.
