From kvia.com -Members of the Las Cruces Muslim community are describing their feelings cautiously. Some said they are not rejoicing the fact Osama bin Laden was killed but rather, excitement from what his death could mean for their community. "A new chance for a new start," Nabeeh Hasan said. “To bring a very looming chapter somewhat to a close, there may be some positive light to the situation but the situation wouldn't be described as jubilant, maybe more relief." Hasan said the death of bin Laden, the world’s most wanted terrorist for more than a decade, marks a new day for the Muslim community. "Hopefully the rest of the world can move beyond the last ten years of how Muslims and Islam is viewed into a new time of discovery of friendship and community," Hasan said. The death of bin Laden, Hasan said, provides a sense of hope stereotypes against Muslims will begin to diminish. More News New Mexico
