A Muslim friend of mine posted this, I thought it was nice to see a different perspective, and did challenge my view point of Muslims, which I realised is very heavily media influenced...damn you 'Merica!

If you’re one of those people that think all Muslims are ‘terrorists’ or that Islam condones violence, then you should probably keep reading.

As your friend, who also just happens to be Muslim, I’d like to ask you to think back to that time when I, or anyone from my family, caused you pain or sadness. Oh wait, you can’t…perhaps because it has yet to happen. The last couple of days have been really sensitive and for the most part, extremely confusing. It breaks my heart to see so much crap about Muslims being terrorists and Muslims spreading hate and violence on my newsfeed, and a lot of it is from people I consider to be friends.

If you have any respect for yourself or for your consciousness and ability to logically think for yourself, then you wouldn’t believe everything you’re spoon fed by the media, which happens to be the most biased entity on earth right now. Don’t just accept facts and don’t just take what you hear or read to heart and then spread false information. I'm not telling you what to believe, just asking for you to be more conscious about what you see and understand.

The name and beauty of Islam has been mutilated by the media. Yeah, there are some pretty awful people in this world and yeah, some people do some awful things, and yeah some of those people happen to call themselves Muslims. But, as a Muslim who grew up with her mother teaching her the Quran from the moment she could read, and as your friend, I want to let you know that those people are in no way Muslim. Those are people who lost their way. If you read the Quran yourself before believing what other people who have never even touched it have said about it, you’ll see the monumental emphasis Islam places on preserving life, standing up against injustice, helping the orphans and the poor, granting women rights and you’ll also realize that killing is considered a major act of transgression. If you read the Quran back to front instead of watching the BS on CNN, you’ll face-palm and hate yourself for being so ignorant.

The thing is, there are all kinds of people in this world, all kinds of twisted mentalities and all kinds of evil. But if you start judging an ENTIRE group or race or religion based off of the actions of a select few, then that says a lot more about your mentality than it does theirs.

We’re so quick to blame other people but rarely take it upon ourselves to actually do some research, actually make an effort to find out what’s really going on. I urge you, as my friends, to either read the Quran yourself, or ask me about something before you believe what some random reporter on the news has to say about my religion.

Islam is about solidarity, about treating people with respect, about loving your friends and family more than you would yourself, it’s about finding yourself in a world that’s tainted and fuelled by arrogance and misery. Islam is by no means a religion that tells its followers to blow themselves up. Islam doesn’t tell me to kill anyone. It doesn’t tell me to force women (like myself lawls) to wear the hijab (headscarf) and it most certainly doesn’t tell me to hurt anyone in anyway.

All I ask is that next time you read or see something that calls Muslims terrorists, that you think rather than follow the masses of headless chickens. I ask that you actually care enough to be fair and I ask that you be honest with yourself and not let the media have that power over you.

I think some statuses should be ignored, or else engaged with in a realistic, and intelligent manner.
