I thought maybe we were learning to respect each other more and starting to replace fear of the unfamiliar with understanding. Then I saw that, according to the FBI, last year the number of hate crimes against Muslims was the highest it’s been since 9/11.
And that was pretty much BEFORE the negativity of the recent campaigns and the unrest that is following, I dread the 2016 statistics, almost as much as I’m heartsick about all the innocent lives touched by unjust anti-Muslim sentiment.
