Once again too often Philadelphia shows the city is misnamed
On a Ramadan celebration known as Eid al-Fitr gun violence could
not be tamed
Eid al-Fitr, also known as “Sweet Eid” for the number of sweet
dishes eaten to mark Ramadan’s end
For the Faithful with sugar cravings to Paradise on Earth with
sugar highs send
But in the misnamed “City of Brotherly Love” the sound of
multiple rounds
Dispelled any hope that sweetness for the day was in town
1000 were gathered in local Sweet Eid Festival organized by
a local mosque when 30 shots rang out
The Faithful running in all directions, the air filled with
terrified screams and shouts
5 arrested and 3 shot
1 a 15 year old by the cops
Too soon for details but 1 thing is crystal clear
A daylight anti-Muslim shooting is not welcome, something we should fear
Religious intolerance of Muslims leading to the Faithful being shot
Results in radicalization which is something to be avoided not sought
