To the editor: Within the aftermath of an American driving a truck right into a New 12 months’s crowd in New Orleans and killing 14 revelers, our as soon as and future president is at it once more, making an attempt 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 might be.
It’s shaping as much as be a protracted 4 years, however a minimum of it will likely be Trump’s final 4 years as president.

To the editor: The New 12 months’s assault in New Orleans, wherein 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 on no account consultant of Islam’s true teachings. The holy Quran (probably the most sacred e-book 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 reaching peace and concord in our communities. Solely by understanding, unity and respect for individuals can we hope to create a future free from violence and division.
