This article is disgusting. It emphasises the view that it is highly rare for someone from one religious sector to help someone from a different one. IT IS DIVIDING US. Articles like this shouldn’t exist.
The fact that a lot, A LOT of newspapers do this is disgraceful. Well, anyone who has read a newspaper, even one, will know that they have been doing this for years. Quite frankly, the ban of these sorts of articles, will essentially, in the long run, reduce racism. But is it too late?
Moreover, if this carries on, it will be enforced in the minds of the young that it is a rare occasion when people of different religions/race/ethnicity help one and other. When it in fact is not rare at all. It’s just being a good human.
Why isn’t it a shock when a Muslim man saves a cat from a Christian household? Because noone cares. Newspapers know EXACTLY how to target us, know EXACTLY how to make us sympathise, and know EXACTLY what will make us tick.
We’re all creatures. Let’s just help one and other. And live in unbiased morality, impartiality.
**of course this isn’t the first piece of writing to have done this, but I was ready today, now, today. INIT.
