Manchester bombing atrocity

The Manchester bombing, deliberately targeting young children innocently enjoying themselves at a concert is shocking beyond words.  I can’t comprehend how or why someone could be so cruel and callous, but I was distressed also to hear that Dr. Naveed Yasin, an orthopaedic surgeon who had spent 48 hours operating on the injured from that despicable crime was later racially abused in the street, called a ‘Paki bastard’ and told to go home.  While it is natural to be angry and even furious about what happened on that tragic day, we should remember that the person who committed this horrific crime was not a Muslim, but a terrorist, and the majority of Muslim citizens in this country are as equally appalled by what he did as are the rest of us.  I think on the whole the UK is a tolerant place to live and work, but sadly there are those among us who when events like this occur will use the occasion to voice their own hateful prejudices...  We are all human beings made of the same clay, bound on the same journey together, sharing the same planet; no single act, however horrifying and terrible should stand in the way of our unity; together we are strong, no matter what God we choose to worship or the colour of our skin.  Dr. Yasin was a hero who relentlessly battled to save the life of those injured on that fateful day, and Manchester is his home, England his country.
