9/11

That first part there. You know, it isn't easy reading so much hate on your religion being posted all around the internet. Tell me, how would you feel if every other religion said that about yours? You wouldn't like it. But what can you do? Nearly everything you say in your religion's defense will only get hate again in return. All you can do is pray that one day, they truly see the truth. Breaks my heart every time someone says something like that. 

"Muslims are terrorists."

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but it downright hurts when the majority's opinion revolves around Muslims being terrorists. That's also where discrimination takes place.

"Hate the man, not the religion."

He was a terrorist. He represented himself and what he believed in; which of course, was not the right thing.

He does not represent the rest of us. In our religion, we believe violence will never solve anything. In any religion, violence will never solve anything.

This really touched me though.

Ten Years Later: A Tribute 9/11
My favorite 9/11 tribute in New York City can be found in Bryant Park. 2,819 empty chairs on the lawn facing the site where the World Trade Center once stood, one chair for every life lost. The number of empty chairs captures the enormity of the lives lost and the stark emptiness of it just drives home the point that I hope is never forgotten. 2,819 people were here one moment and gone the next. 2,819 went to work or boarded a plane one morning ten years ago thinking it would be another ordinary day and they never came home.

Don't get me wrong, I truly feel sorry for the 2, 819 people who lost their lives because of this incident. In fact, my family does have somewhat something to do with the incident. (Click here to read)

"Dear America, your 9/11 is our 24/7. Sincerely, Palestine."

But don't you feel sorry for the hundreds of thousands of innocent people in Palestine who die everyday?
