Xalimopatra Posted April 16, 2007 "At least 22 people were killed in two incidents when a lone gunman opened fire on the Virginia Tech campus in Blacksburg on Monday, police said. Police said they believed the shooter was among the dead. Tech President Charles Steger called the shootings "a tragedy of monumental proportions." My cousin transferred away from Tech to go up north last semester.This is shocking wallahi.... Any Yanks know more on the situation or why this happened?

Xalimopatra Posted April 16, 2007 Howdy Lily, I'm not shocked by the shooter per se...It's shocking because of how small the world is,just last year my cousin was there and then he moved.I'm sure he must know some of the people who were injured/killed or people who knew them. What Allah SWT wills... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aaliyyah Posted April 16, 2007 ^ From what I gathered he is young asian dude, they said he could have even been a student. I doubt he is muslim. As muslims we know our sole purpose is to worship Allah swt, even if we fail in every other aspect of life. where gaalos just get depressed and either commit sucide or take their anger on others. They happen to be emotionally unstable. Anyways, I am actually watching it now on the news :mad: Based on what they are telling us, it is the worst shooting in the history of united states. Subahanalah, I have been hearing similar news lately, it is certainly not safe to attend schools anymore. I mean, those poor souls were prolly writing their final examinations as many of us are. Think of it, it could have been any other university in North America. I dont wanna scare u guys, but keep in mind the main purpose of living?

Peacenow Posted April 17, 2007 I'm glad it was a Asian who done it. If it was a Muslim who done this, all of Somalia would be bombed right now. Those Chinese, South Koreans etc. They have a butter in the mouth wouldn't melt air about them. Well now, they are not so perfect after all. Here where I work in Milan, Italy, just 3 days ago, there was the first ethnic riot in Italy ever. The Chinese immigrants against the Italian police. Who fought in their town's chinatown.
