Perspective | Islamophobia kills. I watched this with my own eyes when I helped bury New Zealand victims.

Texas Imam Omar Suleiman hugs the father of Mucaad, the youngest victim of the March 15 mosque shootings in Christchurch, New Zealand. By Omar Suleiman March 27 at 6:00 AM The imam at Christchurch began the second half of his sermon with these simple words: “Islamophobia kills.”

When we hugged Mucaad’s dad, Aden, he told us that he hoped the world would not see the hatred of Islamophobia but the love of Islam through this tragedy. He refused to accept the idea that his 3-year-old son was killed for no reason. While the tributes poured in about the contributions and amazing lives of the adults murdered in that terrorist attack, Mucaad never had a chance to shine; his tribute was abbreviated, not natural. In the eyes of the terrorist, he was disposable and despicable.

Islamophobia kills. As I returned home this past Saturday to Texas, my family picked me up. My daughter, May, age 9, told me about how her school had a lockdown drill, and that all the kids thought the shooter from New Zealand had come to get them. May has been seeing armed white supremacists protesting in front of her mosque since she was 6. My son Abdullah, 6, was only 3 like Mucaad when he first saw them protesting with signs that said, “the only good Muslim is a dead Muslim.

I see the way Islamophobia kills — in more than one cruel cut. It kills literally, with the tiny casket I stood over this weekend. It kills by spooling out its trauma, to people like the 12-year-old who nearly fell into his brother’s grave. It kills by a society that isn’t urgently addressing the hate that allows my elementary schoolchildren to have to watch armed white supremacists stand in front of their place of worship.

It's not Trump that caused this...it's YOU!

Yes...and media like you caused this. Your time is coming soon because of your hate for Trump. You, MSM, caused the hate we're seeing today. I hope you're proud of yourselves.

Islam , through the centuries is responsible for more death and suffering that one can possibly imagine. In the name of Allah. Some will hate me for this, read history.

Islamophobia did not kill. The killer was not afraid of Islam or Muslims, he traveled and lived among them. The killer had one objective: take 2 amendments down. Can you guess which 2? Please reply.

Intolerance kills.

Old news.

Islamphobia kills Muslims and then blames them. We've to reverse this illogical, inhuman trend. We all have a responsibility in this regard... IslamphobiaKills WhiteSupremacyKills FalsePropagandaKills ThankYouNZ ThankYouCanada ThankYouAllTruthSeekers

Look at any Islamic country and see if they are role models for anyone?They are all known for suppressing Minorities,Women and human rights!Gay people stone to death,renouncing Islam warrants death penalty which are not acceptable in any society!Their image creating Islamaphobia!

Last year, Christians were persecuted more than ever before in the modern era — and this year is expected to be worse. 11 Christians Killed Every Day for Their Faith.

Tell that to the 84,000 people killed by Islamists in 2017.

Christians in Africa don't deserve to be killed either

Absolutely. Any radical element is a danger.

New Zealand mourns mosque attack victims in national day of reflectionNew Zealand came together in a national day of reflection Friday to mark a week since the mass shootings at two Christchurch mosques that killed 50 people. That’s good, the Massacre was awful. But please please please, don’t allow any attempt to Islamise your nation. Keep your country New Zealand, please. I fear this could be an attempt by Islamists to encroach Islam on people. I'm envious... Can't happen in US. Some people think guns make a nation strong! Still, America remains weak in spirit, in character and in logic as it permits its own, even its children, to be slaughtered!
