Islam has cursed my race. I fear that even if I ever flee my arab country to a secular country that represents my views, I will still be hated for being associated to this demonic religion because of videos like this. I have even heard rumor that speaking arabic on a public transportation now causes panic in western countries.
Being an Arab is a race and not a religion. People should be very vigilant not to confuse the 2. You can choose your beliefs, you cannot choose where you are born or your skin color.
Very well said and completely true. I do feel bad for those of Arab descent, because while sad it is also true that even being of Arab descent now is holding this unfortunate stigma of people being very uncomfortable or suspicious of you.
I live very close to Dearborn, MI which has the highest population in the U.S. of Muslims and those of Arab descent. So around here, because Arab's are so common place and entrenched in our communities you don't really see this stigma much, but I'm sure in other places in the U.S. where you don't see many Arab's they may cause some uneasiness, which is unfortunate, but I suppose understood.
We are not made happy by what we acquire but by what we appreciate.
