The tragedy which occurred in Texas at the Muhammad Cartoon drawing event is saddening not only as an American but more so as a Muslim. Prophet Muhammad never taught violence. He led by example and taught his companions to not even raise their voice against anyone who humiliated the Prophet. Patience, a virtue which extremely emphasized in his teachings. The extremists who opened fire at that event are going against the core teachings of the Prophet. Prophet Muhammad taught his followers that everyone is equal. No human being has superiority over the other. Therefore, this tragedy can never be justified especially not under the light of the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad.
