| Justin Normand, Irving Texas |
Every once in a while a stranger comes along to remind us not to judge the proverbial book by its cover. Such is the case with Justin Normand, a Texas man who has been standing alone outside of the Islamic Community Center in Irving (a suburb of Dallas) holding a handmade, poignant sign:
After the photo went viral, Mr. Normand wrote on his Facebook page, "Someone took a picture and posted it, and as of today it’s been viewed millions of times, and shared across various platforms many hundreds of thousands of times. This is extraordinary and humbling; mainly because what I did isn’t (or shouldn’t be) all that extraordinary."
Perhaps Mr. Normand's act shouldn't be considered extraordinary, but it is. Furthermore, by any measure of the word, the man himself most certainly encompasses the moral definition of it.
