Do You Realize How Silly You Sound When You Say 'All Muslims Are Terrorists?'

It's like assuming a pig is a dog.

Do You Realize How Silly You Sound When You Say 'All Muslims Are Terrorists?'
Jeff Wood

Terrorism isn't something new to our society, it's engraved in our minds. We all know the threat is there and we know that it stems from extremists religious groups, many of which are Islamic. Lately I've seen a lot of posts about people wanting to get rid of all Muslims, or banning Muslims from stores. Saying that "All Muslims are terrorists" or even "Muslims are violent" is ridiculous, do you realize how silly you sound? It's the same as saying any of these things.

1. "I saw a white swimmer today and I ran away because I didn't want him to rape me."

2. "I don't know what religion is."

3. "A square is a rectangle so that means a rectangle is a square."

4. "Hey you're a white guy, you're voting for Trump."

5. "Oh wow a Catholic, don't talk to him. He probably supports Hitler and will cause another Holocaust, because you know Hitler was Catholic."

6. "He dresses nice, he must be gay."

7. "She has nice hair, I bet she's so full of herself."

When you make the assumption that all Muslims are terrorist you're failing to see the big picture, and you're being ignorant. Look past the religon and see the person.

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
