It is not fair at all everyone is all human and it should not matter what religion you are because that does not justify what kind of person someone is. There are some good people and bad people in this world today and not saying its a must to try to find out what type of person someone is but, at least try to give the Muslims a chance to prove that they are good people. Donald Trump…

The post-9/11 era in America was a frightening one, but increasingly terrifying for Muslim Americans seemingly being blamed for the actions of isolated terrorist organizations in foreign countries (Jamal and Naber, 2008). Even though it is often nonphysical,…
