Hate on people

            So after the Charlie Hebdo headline that has been all over the news, people are doing what they have done forever, generalizing. Whether people are black, white, green, if they like waffles or pancakes, star wars or star trek, people will find a way to generalize you and tell you you’re something you’re not. Charlie Hebdo is another case of blaming the whole group of people for what just a few extremist have done.

            9/11 and so many other terrible acts of terrorism have been committed many times across the world. Most acts of terror come from Muslim extremists. AL-Quieda, Jihad groups, and ISIS are just some names that we’ve all heard of and they continue to cause terror “in the name of Allah”. Yes, these people are evil and terrible people. They take a peace loving religion and turn it into chaos and oppression. People are taking it to far though, people are doing what they always do, generalize against those that don’t have the same beliefs as they do. All Muslims are now identified as these extremist, they shouldn’t be. Just because one group of people believe in terror, that doesn’t mean the rest of the Muslim population believes in it. It makes me sad that people are treated as demons, as if they are unsafe or demons just because they have separate beliefs than the rest of us. They don’t deserve the hate that they are getting just because they’re Muslim. They don’t deserve getting “randomly selected” for a background check every time they go on a flight. They don’t deserve being treated as unsafe, being treated as if they are going to kill you. They are human beings and I hate having to call them different than me because they aren’t.  I’m not Muslim shouldn’t mean I should be treated differently than them. We have already had this discussion 50 years ago people with African Americans, lets quit judging others just because of their beliefs or the way they look, I thought we were past that.
