On April 15, 2013 at exactly 2:49 pm a bomb exploded a few minutes later another exploded. Those two bombs killed three innocent people (including a eight-year old child) and injured more than 260 people. The two men (if you want to call them that) were eventually found, one was killed and the other in custody. Both culprits have been or will be punished due to their horrible actions. But in no way does that make what they did okay. It does not bring back those that have died or heal those that have been injured, it does not change history. Nothing can ever erase the pain and sorrow we experienced, as a country. But what we can do to ease the pain is come together and help each other heal, help each other get back on out feet. However, we are doing quite the opposite. We are calling each other "terrorists", abusing and harassing one another. Instead of coming together as a country, we are attacking MORE innocent people simply because they share the same religion as those terrible men. What everyone needs to realize is that Islam did not hurt the people injured/killed in the bomb, those two cowards did. Why is the entire Muslim population of America being blamed for something they didn't do? Why are others making us feel as if we don't belong on the same ground as the rest of the American population? Last time I checked I was an American citizen so doesn't that make this country my home too? And last time I checked my rights included freedom of religion. I, and no one else, should be punished for practicing our rights. We should not be accused of terrorism because of the religion we practice. And an entire religion should not be held responsible for actions that some idiots committed. They DO NOT in ANY WAY represent our entire religion. What do you think?
