"A massive bomb inside a rental truck exploded, blowing half of the nine-story building into oblivion. A stunned nation watched as the bodies of men, women, and children were pulled from the rubble for nearly two weeks. When the smoke cleared and the exhausted rescue workers packed up and left, 168 people were dead in the worst terrorist attack on U.S. soil."
What happened?
What happened?
Where?
Who did that?
In case the horrific explosion has caused Rep. Rex Duncan to suffer memory loss:
The Oklahoma City bombing was a terrorist attack on April 19, 1995 aimed at the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, a U.S. government office complex in downtown Oklahoma City, Oklahoma......(Rep. Rex Duncan own backyard!).
The terrorist is Timothy McVeigh.......he was not a Muslim and nobody called him a Christian terrorist either. Not a single person in his/her right mind (Muslim or non-Muslim) agree with what he did....killing the innocence people. Nodody threw a party or dance on the streets to celebrate.
--------------------
The feeling of every Muslim is deeply hurt when Rep. Rex Duncan wrote to his colleagues that he rejected the gift of a copy of Koran from the Governor's Ethnic American Advisory Council because:
"most Oklahomans do not endorse the idea of killing innocent women and children in the name of ideology".
His statement and action is just a blatant act of religious bigotry. He could has said "No, thanks" or even better "No, thanks. Eid Mubarak!" (Muslims just celebrated Eid-ul-Fitr).
He said that he had researched the Quran on the Internet and believed it supports such killing.....By the way that was how George Bush decided to attack Iraq, he searched the Google Earth on Iraq and saw 4 very tall minarets and told his generals he saw 4 nuclear reactors.....attack now!
Search no more, please watch the series of 7 video clips on Commonly Misunderstood Qur'anic Texts- Dr Jamal Badawi. In the video clips Dr. Jamal Badawi explain the commonly misunderstood Quranic texts particularly on the issues of jihad and Muslim-non Muslim relationship. With true understanding of Quranic message, anyone Muslim and non Muslim should realise that Islam and Quran promote peace and harmony among mankind.
The wise thing to do, Rep. Rex Duncan should aplogise like the wise Pope did.
