[size=1em]Discrimination is a word that often gets used wrongly, we all discriminate most days of our lives.[/size]
[size=1em]We discriminate between right and wrong (as we see or understand it)[/size]
[size=1em]Discernment or telling the difference between one thing and another is discrimination.[/size]
[size=1em]People can discriminate between facial expressions of others, telling the difference between an angry or happy look is discrimination or discernment if you wish.[/size]
[size=1em]I don't think I hate anyone in life, how can I hate someone of a different religion? or just because they believe something different than me. [/size]
[size=1em]What I can do is hate the actions and choices of others if it damages or impacts on others in a negative way.[/size]
[size=1em]How can I hate Muslims when I have not really met many.[/size]
[size=1em]I can hate the ideology of a Muslim extremist if it hurts, kills or takes away the freedom of choice or speech.[/size]
[size=1em]I recall once being utterly and totally lost in an area of Birmingham called Saltley, it late at night (11-30ish)I was on foot, and have to admit to being more than wary of the area I was in, a very much Muslim area that I had heard stuff about on the TV that reinforced my fears.[/size]
[size=1em]I had wandered off the main area of the main busy street and tried to back track only to find myself more and more confused, in the darkness I saw some coloured lights over a back doorway and decided to knock hoping to find a friendly face who could point me back to the busier parts of Saltley.[/size]
[size=1em]The door way opened and I was in view of four Asian guys each of them would have made almost two of me (They were big lads) I told one my plight and he came out started his car and switched on his Taxi sign on the roof, told me to sit in the front and he chatted to me as he drove me to 'The Bullring' an area of Birmingham that I was trying to get to, he shook my hand and wished me well, said 'no charge' and drove off. [/size]
[size=1em]How can anyone say they hate Muslims, this giant of a man had a kind heart, sure he was different to me but he was a kind human being that took sympathy on my plight and did something about it.[/size]
[size=1em]Do I discriminate negatively against Muslims? of course not, but I do discriminate against any extremists that wish to impose their ways on others, what-ever background they are from, whether race, colour, creed, religious belief. It could be in the workplace or in the street.[/size]
[size=1em]But as said earlier we all discriminate, but we should not blanket discriminate in a negative way about a section of society or individual that we do not know.[/size]
[size=1em]Positive discrimination is good and healthy and wise.[/size]
[size=1em]Negative discrimination is bad unhealthy and stupid. [/size]
[size=1em]I could have formed an negative impression about my taxi driver Samaritan, If I had it would not have been further from the truth.[/size]
[size=1em]We all have opinions, some we hold dear, some not so much, but if those opinion or ideologies impact others in a negative way, then we are extremist our selves. [/size]
[size=1em]Here endeth the lesson for today
.[/size]
[size=1em]BMW car divers should all be discriminated against, it is the only exception to the rule[/size] :eek
