To the editor: Within the aftermath of an American driving a truck right into a New Yr’s crowd in New Orleans and killing 14 revelers, our as soon as and future president is at it once more, trying to persuade his viewers that the American was an immigrant. (“After New Orleans attack by U.S. citizen, Trump rails against immigrants, ‘open borders,’” Jan. 3)
No, President-elect Donald Trump. The person behind the wheel was as American as you’re.
It’s shaping as much as be a protracted 4 years, however at the very least it is going to be Trump’s final 4 years as president.

To the editor: The New Yr’s assault in New Orleans, through which a truck was pushed right into a crowd, killing 14 and injuring many others, seems to have been motivated by help for Islamic State.
This violent act of terror is by no means consultant of Islam’s true teachings. The holy Quran (essentially the most sacred ebook of Muslims) clearly states, “Whosoever kills an individual … it shall be as if he had killed all mankind.”
Islam condemns all types of violence and upholds the sanctity of life.
This tragedy exhibits the significance of attaining peace and concord in our communities. Solely by understanding, unity and respect for folks can we hope to create a future free from violence and division.
