I’m sick of people being so against Islam when they don’t even know that much about it. If we’re ever going to view ourselves as a progressive society, we need to realize the differences in every group, and that no identity that we impose is ever a whole identity for any one person. Ever since the attacks on the towers, the wave of open hate against Islam has been astounding, not only in magnitude, but also because it seems so justified in the eyes of many.
What I also find amazing is the belief that the religion of Islam is so different from the dominant religion in the US, Christianity, when they come from very similar texts. Hopefully our society as a whole will be able to move past these prejudices and back to a state of well-being and coexistence.
