Do You Realize How Silly You Sound When You Say 'All Muslims Are Terrorists?'

It's like assuming a pig is a dog.

Do You Realize How Silly You Sound When You Say 'All Muslims Are Terrorists?'
Jeff Wood

Terrorism isn't something new to our society, it's engraved in our minds. We all know the threat is there and we know that it stems from extremists religious groups, many of which are Islamic. Lately I've seen a lot of posts about people wanting to get rid of all Muslims, or banning Muslims from stores. Saying that "All Muslims are terrorists" or even "Muslims are violent" is ridiculous, do you realize how silly you sound? It's the same as saying any of these things.

1. "I saw a white swimmer today and I ran away because I didn't want him to rape me."

2. "I don't know what religion is."

3. "A square is a rectangle so that means a rectangle is a square."

4. "Hey you're a white guy, you're voting for Trump."

5. "Oh wow a Catholic, don't talk to him. He probably supports Hitler and will cause another Holocaust, because you know Hitler was Catholic."

6. "He dresses nice, he must be gay."

7. "She has nice hair, I bet she's so full of herself."

When you make the assumption that all Muslims are terrorist you're failing to see the big picture, and you're being ignorant. Look past the religon and see the person.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
