Dear Donald Trump
I generally like to keep quiet about things pertaining to politics.
Politics tend to bring out the ugly in people. Causes people to say
things they most likely normally would not say. But this latest
statement that Donald Trump made about banning Muslims from coming to
America has made me extremely angry. i would like to explain why if you
would give me the time to explain.
First of all, i would
like to state I AM A PROUD CHRISTIAN. And as a Christian, we are told to
love each other and not to judge. But before i get into this, let us
take a look into history.
Not to long ago, almost the same
exact thing was occurring in this country. Instead of being prejudice
towards Muslim's we were prejudice towards colored people. Back in the
1950's and 1960's, many places carried it even longer, colored people
were not allowed to interact with whites. Why? simply because of their
skin color which in fact was also created by God. So if you're a white
Christian, how is that Christian of you to claim that someone is lesser
than you simply because their skin is darker? the answer is, it's not
right and its not fair.
Colored people were forced to go
to separate restaurants, buses, movie theatre's, and couldn't even use
the same restrooms. they were forced to sit in the back of the bus and
were labeled as dangerous and gang members. How many of them were
actually dangerous? such a minuscule percentage, in fact more whites were
the assholes and dangerous because they were trying to hurt the colored
people. How is that freedom? how is that fair or compassionate? its
not.
THE SAME EXACT THING IS HAPPENING when you tries to ban Muslims. IF you take ONE look back at the shootings
that have occurred this year.... many of them were NOT caused by Muslims.
So banning Muslims is not going to fix the problem. In fact it is
making it worse and causing our country to become a place i don't want to
be a part of. Why would i want to be a part of a place that judges and
condemns based on someones religion? Saying ALL Muslims are terrorists
is like saying all Blacks are gang members or criminals. It is
incorrect, judgmental, and completely ridiculous.
God
is the only one who has the right to judge. In John 8:7 Jesus states
"He who is without sin may throw the first stone." Is anyone of us
without sin? The answer is No, and if you are ignorant enough to say
yes, than well I'm sorry for you. So none of us have the right to judge.
None of us have the right to kick people out of a country. When did our
country turn from Free, to "Free with conditions" ? it saddens and
sickens me.
I cannot imagine being God right now
looking down on this country and world that he created for us, because
he loves us so very much. He sent his one and only son to the world to save us from our sins. We are abusing this gift to the extreme. Jesus willingly died in the most unpleasant of ways to go. i cannot imagine the amount of torment and suffering he endured. He died willingly because he loves us so very much. His only wish was for us to glorify his name and show the same kind of love to one another that he shows to us. By banning a certain religion, this is not displaying what the Lord asks of us.
Also, another thing that upsets me is saying that our veterans are more deserving of health care and services than others. Yes i am grateful for the time they spent overseas, it was their own free will to do this though. I definitely do not have the bravery to perform this act of courage, but does this make me a lesser human being? I do receive disability and social security not because i am lazy or a criminal, but because i have a ligament illness that mentally and physically takes a hold on my body. i am almost afraid to state what this illness is because you seem to be so ignorant that you would make some judgemental comment.
I have struggled with severe Anorexia Nervosa since the age of 10 years old. i am now 22. It is a miracle that i am alive after all the damage my disease caused my body. I wont go into details because well that is not important. But you should know that Anorexia has the HIGHEST mortality rate of all mental illnesses and the mortality rate associated with anorexia nervosa is 12 times higher
than the death rate associated with all causes of death for females
15-24 years old. i am very much an over achiever and received perfect grades along with other astounding accomplishments. But even if i hadn't, i still am as worthy as any other human being. That drug addict on the street is no less than you, neither is that pregnant teen, or that troubled child or mentally ill adult. I think you are turning this country into something that the people who have hearts would not want to be a part of.
with that said, Muslims from or not from this country are not less than any other person and deserve to receive help and security.
sincerely,
Bekah- a concerned citizen
