Muslims Are Discriminated Once More

Today there are many Muslim people that are discriminated in many places that they go. There was an incident in an airport where six Muslims were taken off the plane because of their religious faith. They were seen praying before they got on the plane, which was normal, but a passenger saw them and told the service attendant.

I think that the passenger probably thought that the Muslims were making their last prayer before they caused a terrorist attack. I think that the country should take the time to teach people the practices of the Muslim people. There are many things that they do that are not normal to many of us and that might cause some misunderstanding if you do not know what Muslim people are doing.

Muslims have been discriminated since the September 11th terrorist attacks. The Muslim people are being discriminated against for what only a few extremists were responsible for. There have been many terrorists in the past, but no one has discriminated another religious group like the Muslims for that cause. For example, the KKK was a Christian terrorist group that wants to destroy all people of color. They are Christian people, but you see that that does not mean that all Christian
people are terrorists! The Islamic extremists attacked us that day because their mission was to destroy George Bush. These people are called Islamic Extremists: They think that he is the evil and that they had to destroy him to save the world. George Bush is not really evil, but his actions have provoked many people in the Middle East to think that without his existence the world will be peaceful once again.

When I was on a plane for my first time, I had to sit next to a Hindu or Muslim, I don’t know which, but I did not act in any way that might have offended him. I first got a heartbeat, but then I thought about it: are all Muslims going to do the same thing that the ones in September 11th did? No. So then I was relaxed and did not even pay attention to it.

At the airport, the passengers were spotted by people, and then they were kicked out of the plane by security. We have to stop these situations. People of this country and around the world must not to judge these people by what a few has done, but for who they really are.
