Class Discussion Reflection

The class discussion we had a couple days ago really changed my opinion in many ways. Some of the things I would have liked to base my opinion on were when Danny brought up the fact that we can’t judge every Muslim just because one person chose to do that one dumb thing. I actually look at it differently, for example maybe they are actually trying to change themselves and show others that their not so bad. But they should also consider building their mosque somewhere else. I understand that the space is vacant and has been for quit some while and no one else can figure out what to build, but that’s not any reason at all to insist on building the mosque exactly right there or even a couple blocks away. I still feel that its disrespectful and if they actually are trying to start off fresh with everyone one way would be to respect others opinion on how not to build it there. Someone else brought up the fact that the area where they want this building to be built at was near strip clubs, which men would attend them and go to the church confess and do it again and that’s not teaching anyone good morals. That’s very true and I believe it would end up happening some day. Another point that many were bringing up was how we judge each other so much that it’s ridiculous. You can’t possibly look at someone and determine whether or not their guilty or their up to something. You have to give everyone a chance for them to introduce themselves and take the time to meet them and look at things and life from their point of view. The last thing that caught my attention was how people were bringing up that were in a county where we have freedom of speech and many people come to America to actually be heard and to be helped out by others, their maybe not going about the situation as well as they could but there trying and their thoughts and actions are out there.
