it's almost impossible to be a Muslim who knows middle Eastern muslims and not have someone on your soc med feeds who posts anti American views. I have (real, in person) friends in my soc med feeds who post anti American views. I don't agree with them, but I somehow sympathise with them since they're refugees who came here after America destroyed their homeland.
if that's the reason his visa got cancelled it's exactly a racist policy - he was punished for who he was. you could pretty much say, we want to cancel the visa of this honest young student, let's just spend half an hour on their socmed and we'll paint them as a terrorist sympathiser.
they're my friends, they're not me. please distinguish.
ah, America: once the land of free speech, equality before the law, liberty and justice. now, the statue of liberty has fallen to her knees, face in hands, her tears the only thing keeping alive the tortured souls who surround her.
- heavenlyblue 7y agoI am from a small country in eastern europe. There is not way you can grow up in there without having a few acquaintances who are either Russian nuts or hold some sort of racist views. Moreover, some of these people weren’t really as bad when they were younger, so you can simply forget to get rid of them from your friendlist, too. Besides, I keep them because it perfectly reminds me of what lack of education could do to me. This is just like judging a person for what they are reading - does it not get to you that someone may be reading the opposite point of view just for the sake of reinforcing their own opinion?
