I was watching Superwoman talk about the new Miss America and how people were slamming her for her dark skin, calling her a terrorist. I then, for some twisted reason, decided to read the comments. I thenr an across comments like "Not all Arabs are a terrorist" and such. I understand that the people who commented like that were trying to be positive and I concur with positivity but I feel like I need to recitify those kind of comments for something.
Such comments like "Not all Arabs are a terrorist", while I understand that you're trying to say not to make assumptions on Arab people or Indian people or where ever you come from, black, brown or white, it doesn't change the fact that you are still implying SOME people from that nationality are terrorists or such.
I don't believe that nationality makes a person a potential terrorists or such. When large groups of people that attack people come from the same country, that doesn't make that country or nationality a terrorist, that is just a coincidence. What makes a person a terrorist is their belief that hruting people for there beliefs are justified. A terrorist is a destructive selfish person that forces their ideals on other people under threat. It has nothing to do with where a person comes from or even what religion they follow. If they think that hurting other people is ok, that is a terrorist.
A terrorist has nothing to do with bombs and weapons. So let's not narrow this down to war, because I'm not going narrow this to large scale damage. Even seemingly smaller issues, bullying and abuse. I would label that an act of terrorism. The difference of awareness and publicity does not change teh outcome. You are hurting people.
Stop.
