MaiLayan!-Islamophobia, The Irrational Fear of Muslims

Another worth-seeing video that would change your perspectives. Dear people all over the world, regardless what beliefs you're devoting. All these times we're blinded by the media, hatred and distortions. Deep inside us, we know that every religion enforces the devotees towards peace and goodness. As the saying goes, one rotten apple spoils the whole barrel. Broaden your mind, widened your gaze.. The world is full of lies, stereotypes and prejudice.

Why is it?
A man shot several people in London, was called a gunman,
while on the same time
another man (happened to be a Muslim)
caught shooting in public on the other side of the world
was claimed as terrorist?

Is the word "terrorism" only labeled and reserved for Muslims?

Hatred and irrational fear of Muslims has rocketed after 2001, so much that the term Islamophobia is used, started in America. Based on the report by USA Today Gallup Poll, 39% of the USA citizens admit that they are prejudiced towards Muslims (Zulkifli Hasan, 2011).

Let's turn over new leaves. We're all living under the same sun.
We can see, there are lots of effort against discrimination and racism for these past few years.
Let's hope for a better future for our generations, reckoning of what we have done to ourselves today.
