Why am I, a Muslim born in the US 23 years ago, supposed to bear the sins of those extremists who did 9/11, but individual Christians and Jews around the world aren’t held responsible for the atrocious acts done in the name of their religions?

Be careful, Christians and Jews have power bc a lot of their followers are white and live in western/westernized countries—that’s why they get to live and brown people deserve to die. They don’t like it when you point it out.

Racism and Islamophobia. I’m sorry you have to experience that. I’m Sikh and my family knew people who were hate crimed after 9/11. Blind nationalism is just ugly

Yeah, I am really sorry about this. It’s not fair, we are all just trying our best & this stereotyping and xenophobia only harms us all

You shouldn’t. There is not anything more that should be needed to be said than that. I think that no people alive now should be held responsible for those actions as long as they conduct themselves with respect and integrity. If someone has a hateful ideology, hold them accountable to that full ideology, but you cannot blame a religion for evil people corrupting it in their name. I don’t blame Muslims for 9/11, I blame Al-Qaeda and Osama bin-Laden.

If you go to reddit you can enjoy Christians getting treated that way, go to 4Chan and you can enjoy Jews getting treated that way. The modern age lets us curate the hatred we want to hear, it seems like youve just picked one that targets you.

Politicians who are supposed to represent the public and be impartial to any single religious group as dictated by the literal first amendment frame all of Islam as a religion of hate and violence from the acts of a fraction of a percent of the entire Muslim population who are extremists. This rhetoric isn’t applied to any other religion on such a scale in front of so many people who are easily influenced

4 Chan saying shit about any given group doesn't really compare to active bombing campaigns, genocide, and a literal travel ban because of the mainstream media playing into this. Anti West Asian sentiment and discrimination is so common here and it still effects millions of lives to this day.
