Brooklyn Muslims shocked, angered by mosque massacre
“We’re numb,” said Enas Almadhwahi, a member of the Arab-American Association of New York, reacting to the massacre in two New Zealand mosques on Friday.
“If it can happen in a peaceful country like New Zealand, it can happen anywhere. This is a hate crime against Muslims,” Almadhwahi told the Brooklyn Eagle.
Brooklyn Muslims reacted to the events halfway around the world with shock, anger and a determination to spread a message of love to counteract the violence and hatred.
