Muslim Immigrants And Stereotypes

A Muslim, literally deciphers to a person in submission to Allah (God) and in peace. As a Muslim immigrant, it’s challenging living in a western country, it resembles having acne whilst in high school, people won’t openly approach you about it, but there is a continual and overwhelming feeling of being stared at and negatively judged. There seems to be a growing perplexity between radical Islamic terrorists and ordinary Muslims living in western and European countries. Our generation is confronted with needing to differentiate between the radical terrorists and the innocent Muslim men and women who just want an ameliorate life for their children. As a generation, we need to not capitulate to the fear exerted on us by how the media portrays
Muslims and not sanction the fear to cause us to label all Muslims as potential terrorists.
