If you did not know, terrorist have killed 120 (and counting) people in Paris in a planned attack. Five different locations were under the threat, and over 100 people were held hostage in a concert hall, according to Buzzfeed. That's just a general quick synopsis.
As I was scrolling through social media, Instagram and Twitter all offered up hugs, prayers, love, and support to everyone in Paris and everyone who is being affected by the attacks. But then I turned to Facebook and was completely and utterly disgusted with what I was reading.
There are Muslim extremists in the world who perform terrorist acts. But here's the deal not every single Muslim is a terrorist. For someone to even group all Muslims into being terrorists actually disgusts me. This is like saying that because one group of pastors rapes children that all Christians are terrible people. NO. One group of people's actions cannot account for everyone who identifies as a certain religion. Terrorism holds no religion. Plenty of non-Muslims commit terrorist acts and for anyone to ever lump all Muslims into a degrading group is awful. Especially because people who are crying out that all Muslims are terrible identify as "Christian" even though Jesus called on us to love one another. Instead of hating on a group of people, pray for Paris because Paris needs all of our love and support.
