After Saturday's van and knife attacks on the London Bridge that left tens of casualties, seven people killed and over 50 injured, Trump jeered at Khan's attempt to appease people as he asserted that "no reason to be alarmed" by the attacks.

His serial shifts on fundamental issues reveal an astounding absence of preparedness. And his improvisational insults and midnight tweets exhibit a dangerous lack of judgment and impulse control."…

    It’s just that one man can put such a bad reputation on an entire religion and country. Aamir the boy my best friend dated would always tell me stories how if his family and him would go to the airport they were always ones to get selected to go to private searching’s which is completely unfair just because of his religion. Now imagine yourself in that situation being selected out of everyone to go to a private room for searching because you’re a Muslim, I would be absolutely irritated and annoyed and quite frankly embarrassed. Unfortunately we live in a world today that everyone is so judged and stereo typed that we make assumptions about a person before we even get to know them. For example if you saw a kid walking down the street wearing all black and had a arm sleeve of tattoos and a bunch of piercings one would assume he is a punk yet we know nothing about that person and that’s how the Muslim culture is in todays…

    While watching the video featuring Zak Ebrahim, he explained what it was like growing up as the son of a terrorist. Ebrahim, elaborated on his day to day activities from shooting guns with his father to being bullied at school. While continuing with the speech, Ebrahim explains how he began to understand that not all people should be hated strictly because of their race or religion. You would think that the audience of the speech would have a hard time listening to Ebrahim, do to his father claiming American lives during acts of terrorism, and the personal bias that may be present itself in the audience. Through the use of effective listening a person may be more open minded to the opinions of others, by switching from set ways of thinking, to relating to the other person’s side of reason.…
