Dare I Say the Word?
Dare I say the word? Thank you, media! You've completely tarnished the reputation of most Arabs and Muslims all around the world. I'm a 32-year-old Arab Muslim male, living in a conflicted state of mind. For the majority of my life, I've lived in the US, but I identify as Arab or Middle Eastern. I've never used the internet to voice my opinions before. I've never been publicly political or religious. My Facebook and Instagram are mainly funny posts and pics from my travels. So why am I all of a sudden interested in sharing my thoughts with the world? Well, I heard someone speak recently, and he opened my eyes to the power of social media. How one idea, one picture, one share, one click can make a huge difference in today's world. So if this article reaches even one person and changes their perception on Muslims and Arabs, then at least I've made a difference somewhere. Now, to be completely honest with you i'm not the most religion person ever, there are even some aspects of the religion that I don't personally agree with. My point isn't to spread religion, just to shine some light on the subject.
