To those ignorant Americans who see all Muslims as evil...


Take a look at this documentary.
You will see many good, hardworking people, living powerless and day to day in their war-torn country, who have strong morals, dreams of peace for their country and goals for the lives of them and their family.
You will see these same people repeatedly state that the Taliban are not seen as true Muslims. You will see community leaders condemn with horror the beheading their countrymen have endured.
Yet millions of Americans think that these people do not exist. They think that beheading is a normal way of life for all Muslims. They think that all Muslims want to kill all non-Muslims - such ignorance and bigotry is so far from the truth - and this, among many others, shows undeniable evidence against your spiteful nonsense.
This type of film could be a powerful weapon against right wing America's renewed love affair with the dehumanizing of those who're different to them. Unfortunately, that's probably exactly why it - and other film s which show(intentionally or not) that despite our minor religious & cultural differences, all human beings share very common life dreams and goals - will never be widely seen - especially by an American audience. Especially by the audience within America that so desperately need to see it.
Like the Germans(and many Americans)in the 1930s, they do not care for their carefully built illusion to be challenged by pesky reality.
