Our World.

How do I even begin to collect my thoughts and throw them on to the page.
I don't even how to write a post right now explaining all my thoughts and feelings without writing pages or breaking down half way through.
Friday the 13th of November 2015. A tragic day across the world for everyone.
I won't go into detail about what happened, it everywhere, if you haven't already heard then I suggest you look it up.
Lebanon, around 43 killed in two suicide bombings. Baghdad, 26 killed and 43 injured in a suicide bombing. Germany, eight bodies found in a house. Japan, a high magnitude earthquake with tsunami warnings. Turkey, more suicide bombs and killings, over the last few months there had been over 120 deaths. The ever growing race problem in Mizzou.
I'm not trying to take away what happened in Turkey and Lebanon, and I'm not ignoring it. It happens all the time and it's terrible. There is less media coverage because it happens in less developed countries than France. People forget that killings and bombings still happen in Iraq, Syria etc. I'm going to be honest and say even I'm not fully educated on what's happening in these places, and I'm determined to learn more about the issues that people in these countries face everyday
However what really hit everyone was Paris. Supposedly because it's such a developed country, and what happened was such a shock.
160+ dead, co - ordinated attacks, bombs set off outside a stadium, people shot in a bar, and 100 people taken hostage in a concert, slaughtered one by one until the police were forced to intervene. There was more, look it up.
Now I'm not some amazing writer who can compose her political and economical thoughts into one post. I can't change the world. I can't stop what's happening. And hey, you might think what I'm saying is completely wrong. You might think I've approached the subject in the wrong way or shared what I want to say in the wrong way. There are thousands of more amazing people out there that can write intellectual, more detailed posts on this. But here it goes.
I could explain how terrible this is, how much I feel for all the families involved. I do. It breaks my heart to know that these people won't be able to do the little things in life like make a cup of tea or listen the the birds tweeting. They won't get to go christmas shopping or see the new year in. They won't get to watch their children grow up or start a family of their own. And their families will never get to tell them just how much they love them.
We know who was behind this, they've already taken responsibility. I suppose they've got what they wanted, fear. Nearly everyone I've spoke to or tweeted are scared. They want everyone's boarders closed, and they don't wanna go outside anymore. That's what ISIS did.
Then we get the Islamophobia. As soon as they accepted responsibility it started. You know I saw this tweet on my twitter earlier, saying her seven year old daughter asked her of she had to tell everyone she wasn't Muslim anymore. I saw a post from a woman saying that she got ignored in stores today, and got looked down on by others, children asked their parents if she was a terrorist?
Muslims are not terrorists. I could sit here and go on for hours about how they aren't, look on twitter and you will see enough content.
ISIS are a extremist group. They are doing what they want and using religion to try and justify their actions. They are not Muslims. ISIS have killed over 100,000 muslims, they've blown up mosques, if they were Muslims why? The Qu'ran does not tell Muslims to kill, it even talks about how killing insects are wrong. Look it up before you say they must be doing it because of what Islam 'teaches' them. Have a look.
Now you want to sit there and blame Muslims for what this extremist group has done. When you don't blame Germans for Hitler, and you don't blame Christians for the KKK, but it's fine to blame Muslims for ISIS right?
You may be scared for you life, worried you are going to get killed. But there are hundreds of thousands of Muslims out there who are scared too. Subjected to prejudice and hate. Such as the Muslim woman that got pushed onto the train tracks because of her religion.
Now before you sit there, and blame Muslims who do not condone ISIS at all. I suggest you educate yourself, and think about the people you might be hurting by blaming them for something they didn't do.
And to Muslims. I'm sorry, I am so unbelievably sorry that you get blamed for something you haven't done. I'm so sorry that people can't open there eyes and use their brain more instead of putting you all into one camp.
To everyone involved in the other tragedys of Friday the 13th of November, I wish you all the best. I'm sorry I can't do anymore. All I can do is try and get people to listen, and think. I'm so sorry for everything, and I wish you the best.
I see humans, but not humanity.
