3/2/18: Candlelight Vigil with dearborn Heights Students- for Their Fellow Students Killed in florida!
Candlelight Vigil with Dearborn Heights Students- for Their Fellow Students Killed in Florida!
Rev. Fran and Imam Elahi listened to beautiful messages of Dearborn Heights students, as we also addressed them with our words of prayers and support.
Here are some of Imam Elahi's word's in the memorial meeting-
On February 14th, we lost 17 beautiful flowers in a Florida school. May God bless their souls and heal the wounded ones with a speedy recovery.
The media called it a mass shooting! Is the fact that the killer was not Muslim, make his crime less terrorizing?
If mass murder of 17 innocent souls is not an act of terrorism, please explain!
The message of marching students all over the nation is clear! Action, safety and security.
They are not denying the second Amendment right of anyone but saying if it was legal for a monster like Nicolas to carry a riffle, then there is something wrong with this law and it must be changed.
Physical, psychological and spiritual safety and security in our schools and all public places should be the first priority of the government. We all are responsible but the government is more responsible since it has more information and power.
The short term solution is to put more control over guns and specially the riffles, regardless of the NRA lobby pressures and propaganda.
The long term solution is to arm our youth not with guns but more education, wisdom, faith and family values, sense of respect and responsibility, meaning and purpose of life, the value of love, fairness, friendship, patience, humbleness, peace and sacrifice. This needs the cooperation of family, school, places of worships and the political system.
We can't enjoy safety and security in the absence of moral civilization and integrity.
Those who call themselves conservatives, it's better to practice what they preach and walk their talks. They can't say "In God We Trust" but end up "In Gun We Trust".
Also if it's immoral to give guns to an insane guy like Nicolas Cruz for killing 17 innocent, why should it be moral to give gun to insane guys like Ben Salman that only in Yemen killed so far over 6000 innocent and left 22 million people hungry under blockade?
