Words Matter #4

A Muslim student from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette reported being attacked by two men on Wednesday morning. The victim told investigators that one wore a white "TRUMP" hat while they hit her with a metal object and shouted obscenities as she fell to the ground. University police say the suspects fled with the woman's wallet and hijab.


It was the first full day of America under a President-elect Trump. And it reinforced fears that the Republican's upset victory would inspire a new wave of Islamophobia nationwide.




AMAZED at this article, while reading it I am filled with emotions of anger and fear. Will this start to happen around me in my community is a question I wonder. Not only do I fear for myself but I fear for others as well.  How much more will take place?  This article is well written for a topic I find to be major.
