![]() You cannot hate people for not believing in what you do. I urge you to seek an understanding, perhaps a perspective other than your own. People will be different from you, some even opposed. All things have good and bad, positives and negatives, the way you perceive what you do is due to the life you have led. Respectful gun owners and proud Muslims make the exact same argument, but what is bigger than the argument is the concept - no one is right. We, the majority, are not the problem - it is the minority. But we cannot continue to yell at each other. I also see the devastation created by extremists. One mistake, and something, someone, could be dead. But the second my finger pulled the trigger, I felt the impact of what seemed like the “toy” I was playing with. They urged me to try it out, and for the experience I did. This is what was supposed to be “fun." I stared at the gun with goosebumps up and down my body as I watched her and all her friends pick up the pistol, throw up clay disks and sing along the country music in the background. When we arrived, she popped the trunk and there lied two pistols and clay disks. On one of the days during my visit, my friend took me out to one of the open spaces in Wyoming. Observing the things people would say about what was going on in the news, and about Muslims period, internally pulled me apart - I kept my mouth shut. ![]() I am Iranian by heritage, but I get away with racist comments due to my white complexion. A lot of people in Wyoming are also blind to diversity. People in Wyoming love guns, and shooting around is some peoples' favorite past time. Completely contrary to California, Wyoming is an extremely conservative state. This has made many people and even political figures jump to say we should kick all Muslims out of the United States due to their supposed “threat." This makes many Muslims and non-Muslims alike raise their eyebrows, for the majority of Muslim people are amazing, peaceful people.Ī month ago, I visited one of my best friends in Wyoming. This extremist group known as “ISIS” has caused severe harm to people all over the world, including Americans. Unfortunately, an uproar of extremist values pulled from a radicalized sector of Islam has shed some negative light on the religion as a whole. Americans have the RIGHT to exercise their faith in Islam. Billions of people across the world, and millions in America alone have found conviction in Prophet Muhammad, and found love and peace in Islam. There are hundreds of recognized, and many more unknown religions, present and practiced in America, Islam being one of the many. ![]() ![]() The first amendment in the Constitution of the United States of America grants ALL Americans the right to practice any religion, and PROHIBITS any laws impeding exercising any religion. Several Americans will shake their heads or riot in response to the idea of abolishing guns, for the truth of the matter is the majority do not use their guns to kill. The guns are what are killing our people, and it seems like it would be almost natural, common sense for legislators to abolish them! Yet, once again it is our RIGHT to bear arms. Regardless of where we place the blame, guns were designed to kill. From Sandy Hook to the recent attack in Orlando, we have had mass shootings - lives taken, families disturbed, all at the hands of guns. But over the past 10 years, our country has experienced nothing short of devastation. This is part of our constitution, we (Americans) CAN buy guns, thus making it just to own guns, and in some places, use guns. The second amendment of the United States of America states that Americans have “the right to bear arms." On that same note, millions of Americans across the country buy guns, for several purposes such as protection, hunting and so on. This may be an interesting approach to commence a discussion, as controversial as the one regarding guns and terrorism, but it is all connected. Forrest Gump and Benjamin Buford “Bubba" Blue 16.
