All it takes is one person to make a difference. This video is going viral and I would love to share it with everybody, who is following my blog.
I admire this young mans courage. Standing there blindfolded, in the middle of strangers, asking for a hug as a Muslim in France took some guts. I admire his courage to speak up the way he did.
This video speaks for itself and I hope that millions more will watch it.
It’s a shame that people are typecast. It’s not just the Muslims. When there are bad people doing bad things they are looked at as a representation of others ….such as motortor cycle clubs, especially if their bodies are full of tattoos…they may be as kind and trustworthy as you are but looking like the bad clubs just makes people think that they are all like that. Not only are you judged by the company you keep but can also be judged by the type of person you are or how you dress.
Lovely film. I, too, hope people will accept others of different religious denominations without branding them beforehand as traitors or assassins.
I am so afraid of just another form of a witch hunt.
He certainly had a beautiful spirit, didn’t he…
I loved it too, mainly because I am afraid that we will have just another witch hunt in our country.
Bran and I were just sitting here talking about that. Someone posted on their twitter account that they’d taken their kids to the gun range yesterday and practiced — dreaming of shooting Muslims. If I were a Muslim living in this country I’d be scared spitless right about now…
I was uncertain if publishing this video , too…..!
You came first, as it seems, thank you very much!
I can see from the amount of likes versa the amount of “watchers” that not everybody likes the message it sends. It is so much easier to prejudge than to rethink.
Do you mind me asking why you didn’t publish it?
Because you anticipated me!
You’re right in noticing that not many people likes this message…..
(Both of us are too naïf , or what?)
I am in tears, but a great start to the day, thanks.
It made me cry too, but I loved the message and had to share it. Didn’t mean to make you cry and wish you a great Sunday.
We need more like him!
He is a brave man.
