[SaadH]

If you are in US exercise your second amendment rights every time you to go Masjid or any large gatherings of Muslims. Unfortunately these types of incidents will only increase.

If you are in US exercise your second amendment rights every time you to go Masjid or any large gatherings of Muslims. Unfortunately these types of incidents will only increase.

The culprits are 17 and 19 years old. The society is becoming more hateful and more toxic. Even youngsters cannot be trusted anymore. Imagine being 17 and 19 walking around with a gun to kill people of different faith.

Witness tells CBS they heard up to 30 shots fired

A witness speaking to CBS News, the BBC's US partner, says he heard up to 30 gunshots from what sounded like "a semi-automatic weapon".

He said he first heard about a dozen shots, then a pause, then another possibly dozen shots.

The man, who is retired and was eating lunch at home, says he called 911 and that police arrived within "five to 10 minutes".

The mosque gets very busy during holidays, he says.

"It's a good thing it didn't happen on a Friday. Because the streets would be full of people," he says.

This could have been much worse. An absolute bloodbath.

 

[Watandar]

Very tragic and regrettable incident.
American society has a lot of hate and prejudice as well as free availability of weapons. A very toxic mix.

Stay safe everyone and if in your state it's legal to pack heat - do it. Rather have it and not need it than the other way around.

Why not terrorist attack ? Because currently they are not aware of the skin color of the shooters ?

Its coded language. Means the attackers were not brown Muslims. The terrorist label is reserved for them.

 

[AZ_HighCountry]

So they were 2 white terrorists ?

Speculation on your part. Let's not do that, shall we?

The facts do not agree with you. 94% of the shootings at houses of worship in the US are at churches. Shootings at synagogues occur more frequently that at mosques.

Muslims are brave, so they can't be terrorised. Therefore, the perpetrators can't be terrorists.
What do you think?

unfortunately this is a real concern, we have people with titles on PDF who share same mindset with the shooters, its just they are not very open about it, sadly on PDF the Gora Sahab worship is on full swing.

Folks, let's discuss only what we know and not what we want to believe. This shooting was in California. So far, authorities have not identified the suspects or their race. Had it been Trump supporting white dudes, rest assured, that would have been the first thing out of their mouths.

What would that mindset be?

You know my position on firearms. There is even a discussion about it. So please, enlighten me. Especially since this was in California; a state with very draconian laws when it comes to firearms ownership.
