A survivor of the Virginia Tech massacre has been describing how a colleague died to protect others. Although badly injured, graduate student Waleed Shalaan distracted gunman Cho Seung-Hui to save another person from his bullets.
Waleed saved another student's life.The surviving student, who wishes to remain anonymous, told of Waleed's heroics through an email to his supervisor.
He describes how he was left uninjured after Cho's initial round of shots.
Meanwhile, Waleed had been wounded but was still alive.
However, when Cho later returned to the classroom to inspect for signs of life among his victims, the surviving student struggled to remain calm.
He believes he would have been shot dead were it not for Waleed's "protective movement" that distracted the gunman.
Cho turned and shot Waleed for a second time, killing him, before leaving the classroom.
Randy Dymond, a civil engineering professor, has said the student asked to him to tell the tale "so that the family of Waleed understands the sacrifice."
Shaalan's mother broke down when she heard Mr Dymond's account.
"He was trying to save someone else," she said repeatedly.
Dymond said Shaalan's body was taken to a Blacksburg mosque so classmates, teachers and friends could say goodbye before he was sent to Egypt for burial.'
That’s right. This is part of a conspiracy and you’ve discovered it!!! You better go into hiding before they get you! Run!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, being a member of a cult, with millions of members who laud or excused 9-11, who danced in the streets, will get you a “bad rap”.
Millions of members who look up to Osama Bin Laden, who promulgate “death to the jews”, “death to America”, will get you a “bad rap”.
Thousands of members who actively join terrorist groups, participate in suicide bombings, slaughters and slave trade in Africa, and guerilla wars throughout the world will in will get you a “bad rap”.
Thousands in the US represented by organizations like CAIR, which excuse muslim terrorists and resist prudent measures by our government to root out terrorist cells and radical elements of the muslim communities here at home, will get you a “bad rap”.
You see, muslims as an affiliated community deserve a bad rap. Just the way the Germans of Europe or the Japanese of Japan did in WWII. Because they as a community have not acted nearly as aggressively as they could to cast out radical haters within their ranks. Because far too many of them sympathize or actively aid and abet terrorists and their aims.
Their ills are institutional, not just owing to isolated individuals. Their ideological and theological tenets are a root cause of their inability to co-exist with others in peace. They require sharia and submission, jihad and dhimmitude.
So no. There is nothing wrong, and everything right with condemning Muslims, the millions of muslims who adhere to and intolerant, violent Islamist faith.
It still boggles my mind that the killer could leisurely stroll around the building for over 20 minutes, making return visits to classrooms and expending 225 bullets. Parents who think their students are secure on college campuses ought to be feeling very queasy after this.
How could it possibly do that? If you have one person who sacrificed themselves for others or a hundred that doesn't diminish the actions of any of them. Heroism isn't a finite quantity where 2 heroes are each half as valuable as single one. Heroism is heroism, period.
What is apparent here is that a considerable number of people can't stand the fact that a Muslim man could have perfomed a selfless act for a non-Muslim.
That’s cold and inhuman. Not every Muslim kills in the name of Allah and in fact they despise the fanatics as much as anyone else does. We need more Muslims like this kid to win the war on terror.
The timing is so perfect. . .
“....Freedom’s just another word for nuthin’ left to lose...”
There are so few facts in this story you have to conclude it is nothing more than PravdABDNC showing their bias once again. To them there is only one evil and that is America. Would not be surprised if their unnamed source is made up.
Pray for W and Our Troops
Let's just ignore the fact that Muslim troops are fighting alongside our troops in Iraq, Afghanistan and other parts of the world.
Do you actually think about what you type or do words just flow out like crap from a goose?
If Islam is this giant monolithic evil, then Iraq and Afghanistan would resemble an invasion of Japan, no civilians only combatants. People committing suicide left and right to escape “US atrocities”. Booby traps on every corner and entire houses rigged to collapse on the soldiers with whole families in them. Rolling into Baghdad and getting pummeled by everything and the kitchen sink, not the Thunder Run we have where we cowed the terrorists and no one bothered to come fight. Hell, the whole world would be at war right now. They’ve got about as big and “army” as China. Wait, they are in China!!! It’d make World War II look like a picnic.
That said, this is merely Anonymous’s interpretation. WIthout more information, it can’t be verified if that is what actually happened.
Waleed is probably a regular guy, like you or me. Looks like he and his family wants to be US citizens.
Regardless of his heroics (?) he’s still a victim like all the others.
Prayers for him and his family.
Who says the person the "hero" saved is nonmoslem? The other person's insistence on anonymity may be to conceal that his name has "Mohammed" in it, or her name is "Ayesha". Sorry, but I go with those here who believe this is a story made up by one moslem to cast another moslem in a good light, and passed on by a media which has long since lost the ability to discern self-serving fantasy when the fantasy is presented by a 'protected minority' member.
Nah, even IF it’s true, he will burn in hell for protecting unbelieving non-muslim dogs.
Wow. I understand how some might doubt whether or not the movement was intentional, but your post doesn't do that. It outs you as someone totally devoid of critical thinking skills and filled with prejudice. How embarrassing for you.
If it is an invented piece of propaganda, it aboslutely has the purpose of negating the the real act of a Holocaust surviving Jew.
People who may be ideologically loathe to laud a "heroic Jew" (or contemplate the rabid anti-Christian rhetoric or the meaning of "Ismail" tattoed on murderer's arm) are offered a "counterweight": an act of "heroism" by one of their own kind, or their current "cause celebre": a "muslim".
BINGO!!!!!!!!!!
I disagree. As another poster stated, heroism is not a fixed pie. The existence of multiple heroes does not diminish the contribution of any.
It seems there are some here who may be ideologically loathe to laud a "heroic Muslim."
It is debatable whether the movement was deliberately to save the guy's life, but it does seem that many are having a hard time believing that there could be such a thing as a hero who happens to have self-identified as Muslim.
And if it isn't invented? What then?
I have no problem with a true Muslim hero. I do have a problem with a manufactured Muslim ‘hero’, possibly in response to the Jewish hero that was mentioned in the news. Did this ‘hero’ even know anyone else was alive in the room? How did he know that Cho would have stopped shooting after he shot the ‘hero’. Just drawing attention to yourself so you can get shot, (and a possible free trip to paradise), is not heroic. I don’t see how his getting himself shot would prevent someone else from getting shot next.
