YOU ARE SO IGNORANT!!!

I just "defriended" someone on Facebook because they posted the most ignorant note I have read in quite some time. I used to think this person was very level headed and pretty open minded and tolerant...WRONG!

Their post was about the Muslim community center that is being built by ground zero. Before you go all "but they killed innocent women and children" or "they are mocking us" hear me out for a second. This person said that it was un-American to let them build their community center, and please it's a community center not a Mosque. Last time I checked the AMERICAN constitution, it gives everyone the right to practice any religion they choose anywhere they so please. So maybe you need to review what America was founded on and what the intention our founding fathers had.
They also went on to say the most hateful things towards all Muslims-basically calling all of them terrorists and that they should all go back to the middle east. REALLY? Do you realize that what you just said echoes the rhetoric of Hitler, the KKK, neo-nazis and other hate groups?
We simply cannot give races, ethnicities, religions or genders these 'blanket' statements and assume that it is okay! Not all Muslims are terrorists, just like not all African Americans are gangsters...Mexicans are not all drug lords...homosexuals are not out to turn the world gay...women can be just as stupid or smart as men...not all Russians are spies...etc

If you go back in history and look at the MILLIONS of people that so called "christians" have murdered you would be amazed. BUT do we say that all Christians are murderers, rapists and thieves? Absolutely not, because that would just be an outrage! So why do we insist on doing this to other religions or groups of people?

It just made me mad/upset that someone would show such ignorance in this day and age. My generation is supposed to be the one that brings about tolerance, that changes the views of our parents and grandparents. We are supposed to be accepting and loving to all. How about we focus on the actual people doing the crimes or acts of terrorism instead of focusing on what race/religion/gender/sexual preference they are! Evil is an individual problem, if it wasn't then we should just wipe everyone off of the map because at least one person from every walk of life has done something evil in their lifetime...and if we go by 'blanket' statements then none of us deserve to be alive or tolerated anyway.

UGH!
