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.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.
