China’s minority Muslim tout religious freedom, ethnic harmony at

A Kuwait Muslim from Jordan, Mohammod (Mohammad) Youssef (Youssuf) Abdulazeez, 24, has been identified as the suspect responsible for the cold-blooded murder of four U.S. Marines at a marine installation and injuring others at a Military recruiting station in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

“It’s our responsibility to go out of our way to let our neighbors know who we are and what we are all about”.

Ramadan is observed as the holy month of fasting in the Islamic calendar.

He explained that Islam is based on peace, something that was certainly missing from the incident in Chattanooga. Muslims recognize Abraham, Jesus and even the Virgin Mary as prophets who are revered and respected in Islamic teaching. “Now they are wondering if that is how people still look at them”. Some suspected he had committed suicide, according to earlier media reports. The New York Times noted that he was a naturalized USA citizen, but did not say when.

Ali, 42, can now only hope those delicate relationships aren’t torn by the fact that a fellow Muslim, a young man who attended his mosque, shot and killed four Marines and a sailor. Holmes faces the death penalty, but he was never associated by the media or the public with any rightwing, White or religious factions. Fasting is one of the most significant pillars of Islam.

Immediately after the killings in Tennessee, anti-Arab racist Pamela Geller issued a statement blaming the killings on ISIS, and on Islamic extremism.

A law enforcement official who was not authorized to discuss the investigation and spoke on condition of anonymity said FBI agents were continuing to interview people Sunday and reaching out to a broader circle of potential contacts and acquaintances. He was shot and killed police after he attacked a military recruitment center and naval reserve center.

Counterterrorism investigators, meanwhile, continued to interview Abdulazeez’s acquaintances and delve into his months-long visit to Jordan a year ago, looking for clues to who or what might have influenced him and set off the bloodshed Thursday.

At this point he asked whatever Muslims had come to the service in solidarity for their fallen heroes to stand. Several dozen did in a pledge of allegiance to the community to resounding applause from the community.

But the focus won’t be on mainstream Muslims or mainstream Arabs.

London, Jul 17 (PTI) Prime Minister David Cameron has said that terrorism is an assault not only on its victims but on Islam also whose good name it perverts, as he greeted Muslims in the United Kingdom and elsewhere on Eid-ul-Fitr.
