During September 11, a classmate of mine shared a video pertaining to the tragedy that occurred on the very same day 14 years ago, on our school's facebook group. However this was different in that it shared the repurcussions that an entire community of people faced because they happened to share the same religion as the terrorist group involved in the destruction of the twin towers.

I went through a cycle of self hate before I could accept myself and my beautiful religion. During middle school, I watched my fellow muslim classmate get called a terrorist constantly and did nothing to stop it -- I still hate myself for not doing anything.
