Virginia Tech
Friday April 20, 2007
Brother Waleed Shaalan, a 32-year-old PhD candidate at Virginia Tech, was murdered in last week's horrific campus shooting. The university's Muslim Student Association has posted memories of the happy, young father who was known to all by his infectious smile and generous attitude. All of the victims and their loved ones, from all faiths communities, remain in our thoughts and prayers.

The terminator,seems to have mental disturbance since at tender age,before immigrate to virginia,also done followed up , after college administrators complained.its seems that all closed associates knew that “time Bomb” within.
I Pray for who died in this tragedy. THis will never be forgotten and will be a painful memory for me.
Anyone is capable of murder. The control of our minds and actions is somthing to be dealt with.
That is why we have to respect others.
Pre meditated murder is what happened here.
Ina Lillah wa in Lillah rajiuna
I have never met Brother Waleed Shaalan,but saw tears rolling on my face in a town internet café after getting the news of a phd student in the great America dead moreover a n educated Muslim whom we need the more now to promote peace using the greatest good that islam holds.
It is not easy to get used to dearth otherwise we would have said that afterole he has joined his creator and we celebrate his death.
MAY ALLAH FORGIVE HIM AND REWARD HIM FOR ALL THE GOOD HE MIHGTY HAVE DONE WHILE ON EARTH
That sends a message how we needs to use Islam to install discipline among the youth to avoid many of those incidents that led to the death of all those innocent student I pray to allah to give all a peacefull rest.
