London 'Terror' attack
Having recently blogged about National armed forces day approaching, and the importance of showing support for our troops, there is no surprise the actions that have been witnessed by us all today have saddened and angered me.
Not only now do I feel as though the celebrations for National Armed Forces day may be at risk of a possible uproar as its well known that Nottingham has many racial clashes, but I see now is that my facebook newsfeed is filled with people generalising the Muslim community, people saying we need to deport all these immigrants And they're forgetting that today the life of an innocent man was taken. That the actions of these two men do not represent the actions of their community, their religion, their country or even their family. These men have obviously been unable to deal with their anger in a civilised manner and justice will be served for that. But speaking harsh words against an entire race will not solve anything. the words they all speak in anger don't and won't improve anything. There's fucked up people in the world, from all races and cultures. You just have to live your life as a good person, and feel proud that you're better than them, and support those who fall victim to their actions. Because unfortunately, things like this can't always be prevented, there will always be hate in the world. The question is, do you turn that hate into wisdom, morality and lawful justice, or do you turn to violence and anger, and prove yourself to be no better than them?
It is actions like this that prevent us from moving forward as a civilised society. These men are evidently angry at the actions of our government and in their involvement with this 'war on terror' but they have now worstened their own situation. I'm a believer in the idea that there is only ever an issue if you make one. These men have now made an issue out of something, their actions created from anger have now put their fellow Muslims in an awful position, in an ideal world we wouldn't judge someone else for the actions of someone of the same religion. But it will happen, and they've already been generalised now, the media has hammered into our minds that this is a terrorist attack, they've made people feel unsafe, and so they have now made it an issue as well. And it has been made an issue by the British patriots as they are now throwing about idiotic ideas of deporting thousands of British Muslims. I can understand their anger and that they feel threatened, but they need to realise that the way they're acting doesnt help anything Each group of them have only made the matter worse, the victim in all of this is that poor man, still not yet confimed if he is a soldier or not, he could just be a fellow support of the forces. Could we not all instead of voicing words of anger, take a moment to think of his family and their loss, and take from this that we should all live as good people, who don't bring harm to one another so as not to be someone like them.
