    1. Jeremy Christian known for being very peaceful and he is a follower of Islam
    2. He never uses violence during this whole stand up.
    3. The response of the Muslim Educational Trust was tracking down who ever did try to beat up the Muslim girl.
    4. The three men were very brave to die for what they are fighting for.
    5. I think these 3 men are heroes they may not be in costume but they stood up for what was right and 2 lost their lives for the cause.
    6.Sadaf is right to say that if we all want to live together we must stay strong and fight together.
    7. I didn't in the past but today I do because I dont know of people are just playing or not and might kill their fun. I have stood up in the past and have fallen for people I think i stopped after 8th grade since it was more play fighting.
    8. In this situation yes one voice did speak for many since these men have took action to protect the peoples rights and religions.

    1) Jeremy Christian was an anti-Muslim with a history of posting extremist statements on social media.
    2) Destinee Mangum thanked the three men for stepping an and saving her and her friend's lives.
    3) In response to the murders, the Muslim Educational Trust held an interfaith dinner following a vigil.
    4) This article showed me that Taliesin Myrddin Namkai Meche, Rick Best, and Micah David-Cole Fletcher were all brave, compassionate American heroes.
    5) These men are heroes because they put their lives on the line to help out two strangers that were being discriminated against.
    6) I agree with Sadaf Assadi. If something happens with a lot of people around, that person is less likely to receive a helping hand because observers tend to rely on each other to step in.
    7) I have stood up for someone being bullied before, and others began to side with me after I called the group of people out.
    8) This article relates our theme of one voice speaking for many because these men saved lives by helping the defenseless.
