Contrary to the negative labels that accompanies the Islamic religion; it is actually a peaceful religion that has many holy and sacred customs. I posted this video to show the distinct difference there is between radical Islam, the version portrayed by the general media, and the actual religion of Islam. Muslim people are always tagged along with radical Islam and that could be due to ignorance of the religion. Hopefully now that you have a positive image of the religion it is possible to relinquish some of the fears and tension you may have towards Muslim Americans.
The media in general can be really biased; one can rarely understand the full picture of a certain situation by merely listening to what the media has to say. The fact that we are compelled to judge just based on the info we get from the media is sad,because we are judging without fully understanding the issue itself. There are radicals in almost every religion, if not all, and it's a shame that islam is the religion bearing the brunt of this fact.
