NASSIR Posted July 19, 2011 Unbelievable story about forgiveness and love of humanity. . "In Texas a hate crime victim is attempting to save the life of a convicted murderer who shot him in the face at close range after 9/11. Rais Bhuiyan is suing Governor Rick Perry in order to stop the execution of death row prisoner Mark Stroman scheduled for Wednesday. Stroman shot Bhuiyan in 2001, partially blinding him in his right eye. Stroman, an Aryan Brotherhood member, also killed Vasudev Patel, an Indian immigrant who was Hindu, and Waqar Hasan, a Muslim born in Pakistan. “I strongly believe what Mark Stroman did was a hate crime because of his ignorance. He was not capable of distinguishing between right and wrong. Otherwise, he would not have done what he did,” Bhuiyan said. “The way my parents raised me and the way my faith teaches me, no one has a right to take another human life. Islam does not allow for hate and killing.” In a statement written in prison, Stroman says, “Not only do I have all My friends and supporters trying to Save my Life, but now i have The Islamic Community Joining in ... Spearheaded by one Very Remarkable man named Rais Bhuiyan, Who is a Survivor of My Hate. His deep Islamic Beliefs Have gave him the strength to Forgive the Un-forgiveable ... that is truly Inspiring to me, and should be an Example for us all. The Hate, has to stop, we are all in this world together." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jacpher Posted July 19, 2011 I read this story the other day and I think the authorities should continue with the death penalty. The forgiveness of the victims of the crime is not the law. The law should be remain the law. A committed racist and a white supremacist who shoots innocent people in the face at point blank doesn't deserve to live. Give the tax payers a break and let this devil expire. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
