The End of Islamophobia

America's most pressing need may, in fact, not be the economy or health care, but to heal the wounds and scars from post 9/11 war and conflict, fear and distrust, disillusionment and discontent.

Through healing comes peace.

It's time for peace.

This PSA was written, directed, and produced by a group of mindful teenagers who not only care about the future of this nation, but the present state of affairs.

The End of Islamophobia was filmed in conjunction with The Youth Cabinet of America and the Y-Revolt Project.

A phobia by definition is an irrational fear of something ex:hydrophobia - fear of water. Islamaphobia on the other hand is a contorted misnomer.

When you have a religion/political ideology that advocates for the extermination of Jews; subjugation and domination of infidels - then this "phobia"

is a rational,healthy and natural response. If they made a video citing and sincerely rejecting every hostile and violent verses towards non-muslims on the Quran, then i'll respect and trust them.

Maybe I will give a shit about this video and it's disgusting hypocrisy when these same people will make a video telling their Muslim friends "hey it doesn't matter what religion you are and it shouldn't" when those are shouting death to kufirs, and go around in raging protests about how all non believers are "evil". I will give a piss about this video when the Muslims will come out and abrogate passages in their "holy book" which call for mutilation, killings and rape! untill then fuck off!

I was once wearing a kufi (traditional Islamic hat) outside of my house and someone drove by and yelled out "Terrorist!"

I laughed.

Islam and modernization can coexist normally. Islam is not a culture, but many people take their own personal beliefs and use Islam as a scapegoat to enforce their extreme beliefs on large groups of people in turn tainting Islam with a violent and incredibly inaccurate reputation. Don't say that Muslims need to "catch up with the rest of us" because in saying "us" you make Muslims sound as an entirely separate body from other Westerners; rather you should say some individuals should become more

Read & consider; The Chinese military/government has dehumanized, decimated, disrespected, & murdered 100s of thousands of Buddhist monks, over the yrs. The Chinese gov./military occupies Tibet & surrounding lands & murders protesters in large #s. Why havent the monks burned Cinese embassies, bombed Chinese neighborhoods, cut off Chinese civ's heads? Because Buddhism is inherently peaceful. Islam is not inherently peaceful. Look at the track record, people.

The problem with most muslims is that they still take their religion too seriously. In many muslim countries if somebody abandons their religion they suffer accordingly whilst in the other parts of the world nobody would care. There is nothing fundamentally evil about people born into islam but in an era where secularism is expanding all over the world the continuing devotion of the islamic world to their religion is bizarre to put it mildly. Stop being so backward. Catch up with the rest of us!

@peterrabbitwarren 'The world is beginning to embrace interfaith.'

You should have a national holiday. The Muslims will hand you a shovel, and then you start digging. It's symbolic of burying our differences. Deeper. What am I doing back here with this gun? Don't worry about that. Just keep digging. Otherwise, you're a racist.

whats wrong with Islam??All religion have value that teach people to respect others..So, don't look at religious look at people who did it..people means 'people' it is not equal to religious...
