This Devout Muslim Is Making A VERY Public Gesture… Watch How People React.

This Devout Muslim Is Making A VERY Public Gesture… Watch How People React. February 18, 2017

When you hear the word “Muslim,” what do you think of? Much of the media we consume is peppered with unfortunate Muslim-focused stereotyping, words and phrases that indicate that all Muslims act a certain way, or have particular types of biases and personalities. The power of these stereotypes is incredibly dangerous: It’s these notions that have led to anti-Muslim discrimination, Islamophobia, and even hate crimes. Muslim students from Toronto wanted to make a video that confronted these issues: The way they did it is incredibly moving. The video is not only a celebration of a random act of kindness, but also puts a spotlight on just how many open-minded, fair, and just people there are in the world. The entire sequence is heartwarming to watch – especially the valiant efforts made by the guy at the very end.
