I know I said I'll be able to post something this Sunday. I just can't let go of this so I need to write this down now while it's still fresh in my mind.
A while ago, I was reading a few featured items on Yahoo! There was this one article about Poland getting ready to retaliate after a Polish engineer was executed by Pakistani rebels. I wasn't affected so much by the article as much as the comments about it. Readers can actually comment on the articles posted so I started reading. I couldn't continue after the 10th comment I read. I was just so horrified how people can be so full of hate. I know there should be something done about the Pakistani rebels...but to generalize that ALL muslims are evil? That's just so...sick. I couldn't stomach the comments made by some people. They were so full of hate and prejudice. I don't get how people expect justice and peace to prevail when their attitude towards achieving these two are of violence and hatred. I may not be a follower of the Islamic faith but I do know that Muslims aren't bad people. Why do people have to generalize??? I'm a Christian and I have Muslim friends. I don't think they're evil. I do know that we have different faiths but what we have in common is our respect for each other. I just find it ironic that people want peace yet the means to achieve it is so violent.
I'm in the office right now and I'm on the verge of tears after reading those very hateful words that people wrote. It's just so frustrating...
