“Attack on any religion discredits all religion.”
This was the sentence that hit me like a truck. With all of the chaos going on in our world right now, one can get muddled in emotions and allow them to muddle truth and rationale. This was a speech that was highly relevant considering current events. With one of our presidential candidates speaking outright about barring entry of muslim immigrants into the country temporarily, this was a talk that would do a great deal of opening people’s minds.
The media misconstrues so much of our reality. Mix this with catastrophic events whose authors cloak themselves under the other wise peaceful religion of 1.2 billion people, and the result is a toxic animosity towards the general mass of people who call to Allah. However, in this speech we learned that Islam is not in any way anything to do with ISIS. There is a great disconnect within the two entities.
Prior to 9/11, anti-muslim talk would have been the minority. However, now it is a growing sentiment within the American people.
