Mooz-Lum

I recently watched a movie entitled Mooz-Lum starring Evan Ross and Nia Long. The synopsis is an Islamic child/young adult that is conflicted with his faith and identity and gets tested when September 11 happens . This movie is so great but it outraged me. People discriminated against people of Islamic faith, not on purpose but to make a point. One scene that made me very livid was when the sister and friend of Evan Ross got terrorize on a college campus because the people that were terrorizing them thought they were part of the extremist attacks. What made me more mad was that the fact was this is our society. We need to stop blaming a whole religious organization/ group for only a few people's actions. We need to do more than this, we need to have peace among the nations. If we can't get along with people who have different religions, how can we establish peace? We need to be peaceful and kind to ourselves before we can spread peace and kindness to others. For example, the cases like Freddie Gibbs and Trayvon Martin are examples of discrimination and prejudice against African Americans. This world we live in needs to change. We definitely need positive leaders to make positive differences on this earth. I think we all have the ability to become positive leaders but who's up for the challenge? Maybe one man or woman can make a positive difference and then everybody can follow him or her like a domino effect. We would need to establish a positive domino effect, not a negative one. I don't know what you guys are going to do but I'm going to try to make positive differences in other people's lives by sharing my film and hoping to inspire and encourage people to, especially young people to embrace positivity and to not let their insecurities hinder their happiness.
