Yeah, the guy in the photo got a text from his brother that he was trapped in the building and when he got there his brother had already gotten out, but he stayed anyway and saved some lives
Why is it relevant what nationality the terrorists were? He should be commended for saving people against any type of criminal. You don't see captions like "White American risks own life saving non-whites from White murderer".
yah and wat has his religon got to do with it... a person is either good or bad thats it

Get a family member killed by a muslim terrorist and then dislike
Because your sweeping generalisation invalidates a billion and a half people. Because you make reason the hostage of passion. Because prejudice and misinformation improve nothing.
Also, Indians are generally Hindu and not Muslim, or Islamic.

Aren't u guys from America where they crashed into world trade centre and caused the death of many? I don't give a damn about being downvoted but you'd understand better if u were directly impacted by it.
Sometimes it's easier to understand when you're not so close, you know? Especially where strong feelings are involved. We might see that your comment is untrue and that it comes from grief and pain, even if we can't understand what you've been through.
The ones who hurt you might have been illiterate religious fanatics, but concluding that the majority are the same is false, and it's a dangerous thing to try to convince people of. That's why I spoke up.

London: An Indian-origin Briton was among those killed in the terror attack on a mall in the Kenyan capital of Nairobi after he offered himself as a hostage to save a group of children.London-born Mitul Shah, 38, a marketing executive at Bidco Oil, an east African cooking oil company, tried to negotiate with the terrorists in a bid to save 33 children taking part in a TV cooking competition that his company was sponsoring on the roof of the Westgate shopping mall in Nairobi, The Evening Standard reported.Mr Shah failed to convince the gunmen to agree and he and a number of children as well as a radio presenter, Ruhila Adatia-Sood, were shot dead.However, according to the report, his efforts are thought to have given the victims precious seconds to flee and hide.

I'm not cooking up stories and if u guys dont get it its not a big deal.
I believe you. And it's awful for everyone involved. You have my sympathy, for what that's worth to you.
When you start believing that all Muslims are evil, though, you're not being reasonable. Look at it this way: the incidence of arsonists among firefighters is really high, but you don't say "all firefighters are arsonists."
Generalising like that means you miss out on opportunities to see good where it exists, and it leads to a bunch of self-fulfilling prophecies anytime you see something you don't like. Which sucks for you. But when you try to persuade everyone else, you're contributing to hatred, and that's not going to make anything better for anyone. The antidote to violence is not vengefulness, it's the clear-mindedness that allows for good decision making.
