I used to live in the Middle East many years ago, and I had many Muslim friends. I wonder if in light of the new situation in the world if my former friends now consider me an enemy, if only because I am from the US? It would be sad to think so, as I am no different now as when we were friends. Do they now see me as an American first, not as the human being that they befriended?
I would like to think that I am a tolerant and good person with a good set of morals and ethics. I am bothered by being a target of hatred because I am an American, when I have not hated anyone because of their beliefs, whether they be religious or political. I reject religion as an answer for humanity if hatred is the result of religious differences. I disagree with our current political leadership for being so self righteous in their actions, but I think that the Muslim hatred is older and deeper than the current political situation. I think the hate is being taught in mosques around the world.
