Chatterbox: Down to Earth

I've had enough. Most of you probably haven't heard, but it was on the news today that a certain person I will not honor by naming suggested that Muslims be tested for their beliefs and deported if they believe in Sharia law. I can't express enough how this has impacted me. Anger, indignation, and disbelief are currently whirling in my mind, blocking all other thoughts. I'm sorry, but I've got to rant.

I am a citizen of the United States of America, and so is my whole family. I am aware that most likely this deportation test thing won't happen, but the very fact that it has been suggested is alarming. I mean, seriously? Have we forgotten about the injustice of Japanese internment camps? They say that Sharia law is not compatible with Western civilization, but deportation of innocent people is? I'm crying for my future children.  If people are thinking such horrid things now, imagine fifteen years later. Sure, my beliefs are different from yours. But they're not violent. Walk into any mosque on Friday and you'll hear the imam (preacher) talking about how wrong ISIS is. We as Muslims despise ISIS. I have to go now, but I will continue this rant later. Again, sorry you had to read this. It just feels good to let my feelings out.
