America has always been a melting pot; a place where immigrants of different races, ethnicities, and religions could make a better life for themselves and their families. However, since the tragic attacks at the World Trade Center buildings in New York City on September 11, 2001, there’s been a rising tide of fear directed at Muslims, both within our nation’s borders and throughout the world. In response to the climate of suspicion and fear directed at Muslim Americans, the folks at the online film and social media project “My Fellow American” have put together a two minute film that’s worth watching.
The My Fellow American web site also has a bunch of interesting features including the ability to share your own stories and to take the “My Fellow American” pledge.
Scary how bigoted people of all ethnicities, political persuasions and religions are so much alike.
