The Islamic Mosque, The Quran Burning and Immigration are three topics that are all very similar to each other. They all deal with racism and judgmental criticism.
With the building of a center of an Islamic Mosque so near to the 9/11 location, it has caused so many outburst. The public is offended towards the building of the center, and wants it to be removed. A lot has been said, and everyone is speaking out about their opinions. Mine for example does not agree with it being a doing to offend the memorials of the lost ones from the 9/11.
The burning of The Quran is, a doing by a Pastor named Terry Jones. He thinks that by this doing of burning the Corian Bible, it would honor the losses of the 9/11. He is very wrong, to my opinion. He is being judge mental and racist towards the Islamic religion.
In other news is, Immigration. Immigration has gotten beyond bad to this day. Arizona is the most violent state in the US. It’s where it is striking with immigration the most and families are being torn apart. Not only is it bad in Arizona but all over the country. It all comes back to racism, you look a certain way, you fit the profile a certain way, your automatically looked as an immigrant.
The Islamic Mosque, The Burning of The Quran, and Immigration are all similar and important matters out in the world. Ones that have just begun and ones that have been around, which haven’t ended till this day.
We deal with the good and we deal with the bad. We have all been through tough and amazing memories, that we will always remember. Some are unforgettable memories like the 9/11. Which I was too young to remember and feel what was revolving around me. Today, the Islamic culture is building a center; Islamic Mosque. Its located very near to the location where the 9/11 occurred. The people who lost close ones, others who just care and want their opinions to be heard, dislike that its being built so close. They feel that its total disrespect to the ones who were lost because its an Islamic center. Muslims were the ones who attacked on that tragic day, but who says their all the same. Who says that every Muslim out there, are coming with bad intentions to try to hurt us. I think that as them thinking that, they are being judge mental, towards others, towards Muslim. We are all one, no matter what religion we may study. We all want the same things, love and peace. My opinion on this is, I don’t see it as total disrespect. I’m my own person and I have my own opinion towards these things. Why I don’t see it being wrong is because, if it were some other religion try to start a center there, no one would have ever noticed it. However, the public decides to notice and take it as an opportunity to bash on the Islamic religion. Saying their disrespecting the memory of the lost lives. We should put this stuff aside and focus on other things. I’m not saying its not important, but people should really notice what else is going on around them.
The Quran is the Islamic Bible. A pastor named, Terry Jones plans on burning every Quran Bible he gets donated to his church. His plan is to burn it on the anniversary of the 9/11. There has been major chaos towards his plan of doing. His opinion is that the Islamic religion is the religion of the devil, and anyone who is part of it, will end up in hell. What I think on this is, that its complete bullshit. I do NOT agree and others who follow him, need to find a different hobby. This is my opinion, no one has to agree with me but I haven’t heard of Muslims being so hateful. Terry wants to “honor” 9/11 by doing what he thinks is good and brave. He thought that this would be him standing up for others and facing off the Islamic religion. The situation with burning the bible, my in take of it is, I truly but sincerely still don’t understand why his urge to do bad. I get it it’s what he believes, but even after all the other stuff that’s been going on, why keep it moving. 9/11 was a tragedy, with lots of chaos, why keep that madness of sad lost lives circling. It brings sadness to everyone around, I know it does to me. In the end, Terry canceled; not for sure but he put it off because they have also put off the building of the Islamic center. He says he is still going forward with it just isn’t sure when.
What can I say about immigration. First of all, I’m Mexican and I sure wouldn’t want someone so close to me have to leave my side. The question here is, Is immigration right or wrong? I’m not exactly sure. A true writer always looks and talks about both sides, even if she/he may not agree with one of the sides. I understand how its wrong, but I feel its right. This all comes from personal experience. My grandma is no longer by my side, she is now back in Mexico, alone with no one by HER side. I miss her dearly, and so does the rest of my family. I would understand how its right, their family, everyone has family. Its wrong because obviously, the United States was built on a foundation, you have to be legal to live here. Immigration, is racism, its judgment, and hate. Its all over in the United States, not just in Arizona however, its mostly focused there because of a new law. A law that states, if your parents are illegal and you as the child a citizen of the United States, will still be sent back with you parents to Mexico. No chances, no life. We come to the USA for freedom, peace, and a home. We do all the right things, go to school, get jobs and for what to still be judged in the end. I wish, it would all just stop, we all hope.
The Islamic Mosque, is being taken as disrespect. The burning of The Quran is hurting not only us here in the United States, but everyone else outside the lines. Immigration has gotten worse, in Arizona, all over the USA. Everyone is being affected by this everyday. Soldiers, family’s, religion groups, till the last one of us. Why do we do it, I’m not entirely sure.
