Terrorism at Ohio State: Time for a New Strategy

- David DiBello Bay Ridge

Such a tragic incident involving a Muslim who attacked the people who allowed him into their country (“Terror on Campus,” Nov. 29).

The Post reporting mentions that Abdul Razak Ali Artan was a student. How does an immigrant carry out an evil plan to injure or kill those who have welcomed him into their bastion of learning?

It’s amazing how ingrates such as him often bite the very hand that feeds them. Paul Alexander Staten Island

It seems like Artan wasn’t assimilate­d into the American way of life.

I’ve worked a lot of jobs here in Ohio, and as a believer in the revelation­s of the Apostle Paul, I follow the doctrines of “honest work with your hands.” I believe that oldfashion­ed work ethic is good.

The Muslims I regularly work with aren’t a danger to me. By having a steady job, they’ve developed a work ethic and a reverence for life and property.

We shouldn’t bestow collective guilt on all So- malis or all Muslims. Charles Bradford Columbus, Ohio

Sen. Tim Kaine condemned the “senseless act of gun violence” at Ohio State.

In reality, the only gun violence was the timely response of a police officer who shot the terrorist before he could run over or stab more innocent people.

A talk-show host I watched implied that Artan committed this violence because he was racially and religiousl­y discrimina­ted against.

It’s time for this country to take drastic measures and crack down on those whose ultimate goal is to kill Americans.

It’s also time for the Muslim community in the United States to end its rhetoric about Islamaphob­ia.

Can’t they see the destructio­n taking place? They need to stand up and root out extremists in their communitie­s so that these kind of attacks finally stop.
