Rais Bhuiyan - The man who was shot in the face

If someone shot you in the face and left you for dead, would you try to save his life?

Well, this is the story of Rais Bhuiyan, a Muslim Immigrant from Bangladesh, who despite having thirty-eight pellets in his face and being partly blinded in his right eye, has campaigned for months to persuade the state of Texas to spare the life of his shooter, Mark Stroman who shot him for no reason other than the fact that he is a Muslim. Unfortunately Mark Stroman was executed on July 20th, 2011 but he died as a changed man. Mark's last words were "Hate is going on in this world and it has to stop, hate causes a lifetime of pain."

This PSA was Produced by ICNA BayArea in association with Under Da Hood Films.

Islam is about killing, hate and brutal punishment. There is love and forgiveness among themselves but never in relationship to nonmuslims.
