First i am going to discuss the current debate of the building of the Islamic worship place or mosque, that is said to be built near Ground Zero in New York City. I believe that the buzz of the Islamic mosque that is said to be built two blocks from Ground Zero where the Twin Towers stood before 9/11 is an being made up to be a big deal and a big mess. The Islamic mosque has not officially been approved to be built in that actual spot yet, its still an idea that's up in the air. i understand that the building of said mosque could be interpreted as a disrespectful gesture or even act as a threat to many. In my opinion i believe many interpret the building as a disrespectful gesture or threat because of the fatal and unfortunate event on 9/11. i believe the building is neither a disrespectful gesture or threat because of the following reasons; the Islamic mosque is said to be built two blocks away from Ground Zero, the Islamic community do not want the building of the mosque to be seen as a threat solely as a representation of their amendment and right, not all Islamic or Muslim people are "terrorist", and how are we ever going to "forgive but never forget" if we are not willing to be open up to see and share common grounds with a different or foreign community? I believe that as its said on the statue of liberty and in our own bill of rights any one and everyone is welcome to have their own freedoms and rights.
The second idea i am going to openly talk about is about the issue of the burning of the Quran in Florida by a small christian church. First i would like to make the point that this issue has made a huge impact on the lives of everyone around the world. it has become a world wide epidemic that has successfully turned the religious beliefs and ways upside down. The issue of the burning of the Quran in Florida has raised a huge concern of disrespect in religion and has singled out many peoples of the world. in my personal opinion i believe the the actual burning of the Quran is a horrible idea, i could only see bad coming from it. If the burning of the Quran would happen i believe the troops that are still in stationed in the battlefields will be put in great danger, wars will be on the rise and the world as we know it will lose its some what stability that it has today. I believe the church has decided to attempt this act because of the up coming issue of the building of the Islamic mosque that is said to be built two blocks from Ground Zero. Is till don't fully understand how 50 plus people can cause such a ruckus in the world today. i hope the church decides not to burn the many copies of the Qurans and learn to understand and view the other side of their issue. I hope the church would understand that you can't fix fire with fire and they have to "grow up."
Now i am going to discuss and express my feelings of the current views of immigration in the country today. A lot of immigration issues are brought up on a daily basis. From immigrants not being considered equal to others to the false accusations of the reason why immigrants want to be apart of the united states. Before i began to discuss my views on this topic i would like to included that i am a huge supporter of freedom and i believe strongly in allowing any human being the right to be apart of the u.s. Some may say that allowing Mexican immigrants to move into the u.s causes a threat to the population. Coming from a family of many immigrant of Mexico immigration has played a huge part in my life. My father, Grandfather, Uncles and Aunts have all been through the process of becoming American citizens. My family, luckily have been very successful in life. Point be made, I'm not saying all Mexican immigrants come to the u.x to do good but many do. The people of the u.s who don't personally know a majority of immigrants are made to believe that every one who crosses the border is trouble but in reality that's not always the truth. Some cartel members who do cross the border with drugs, weapons, prostitutes, and other contraband make up a small percentage of immigrants coming from Mexico. The u,s is seen as an opportunity to have a better life and who are we to take that away from another person? I believe that as time goes on and as the immigration laws get more and more ridiculous thee more it will seem that the world is changing back to the whites vs. blacks faze but instead of whites vs. blacks it will soon be Mexicans vs. everybody else. Mexican people seem to be the only targeted immigrants that are being treated so unfairly. i believe that people seem to forget that immigrants coming out of all parts of the world bring violence, drugs, and other contraband. It seems to be that as time goes on the education and in site of other cultures, races, and ethnicity is being forgotten due to the bias and racism we have today. I believe that the immigration laws should be reviewed and changed to be more fairly.
All of the these stories are tied together by the unfairness and controversial impact its made on the world today. The views of each of these topics are similar in the ways the outcast people are treated and how the world must change if any progress is wanted to be made. i believe that the world is already in a bunch of trouble instead of fixing problems were actually creating more. we, as a country, need to be open to all and start fixing and owning up to our flaws before anything else is done.
