First, allow me to paint you a picture....
I am Australian born and a very patriotic person, I love my country. I am half Indian and half Polish, I am very proud of my heritage as well. My mother was born in India and came over here at the age of two. As you can imagine, I was brought up to be very tolerant of other religions and ethnicities.
I am not racist, nor am I religious. I don't hate muslims or anyone else who is religious.
However, I have realised that since the "War on Terror" began my morals have been stretched to the limits.
I live in Brisbane, Australia, and the other day on the bus a man sat down next to me, obviously of Indian or similar descent. He was cradling a bag, and I actually found myself to be quite nervous, I was shocked at that fact.
Personally, I blame the "War on Terror" for creating one of the largest fears in the world. Adolf Hitler did the same with the Jews. What are your thoughts?
