“The word ‘Islam’ means ‘peace.’ The word ‘Muslim’ means ‘one who surrenders to God.’ But the press makes us seem like haters.”-Muhammad Ali
So long as we follow everything we see or read blindly we will remain slaves to the system that seeks to divide. Anything divided will be conquered, and what use is that? Are we not the United States of America? In unity we can overthrow the corruption of a system that is suppose to serve us. In unity we can live in peace in our communities. But so long as we live hating one another, we will remain divided.
Well said!! Thank you!!

The press has a lot to answer for, all they are bothered about is ratings and reactions, I have worked with Roma traveller young people and young people of ethnic minorities – nothing generates this more than glorifying and exemplifying negativity. I feel for all the innocent people that are subject to racial abuse just because of the actions of a few people. It is easy to forget how much media influences our lives subconsciously, I haven’t had a TV for many years now and I do feel a whole lot better not having one, it encourages you to look for the truth, to investigate and to find your own answers.
