Chicago unhinged – 1 dead, 13 wounded after South, West Side shootings

Greetings,

Note: Not a day goes by where there is no gun fighting, shootings, attempted murder, or murder in the city of Chicago. Chicago has devolved into a land of violence and war. It brings to mind this city’s rejection of the Messenger of God ,who resided in their midst.

For their open rejection they are smitten with turmoil, violence, and disillusionment.  This is the fruits of their rejection. As Messenger Muhammad once stated concerning this city….Oh’ Chicago, you city of hypocrites! Now the forces of divine are taring it apart and it is being ravaged by violence day in and day out!
