New York, Florida, and Us. . .

         The issue with New York is a very serious issue in the United states rights. Meaning we have a right to choose or believe in what we want (religion). Although people think is a ridiculous idea, in my personal opinion I think this is showing us more than anything a lesson. What I mean by teaching a lesson is how some people see the world, they are showing us how people are still full of hate. I really don't think the Muslims are handling this the right way; they cannot expect for New York and the United States in general to ignore the fact that is exactly in that location they want to have the center. If they see how most people are against it, who are protesting, threatening and over all responding with hate, Why don't they find a better place where people are going to be with it? I believe whatever happen in 9/11 is not their fault now, but they have to understand it was a huge damage to the U.S. and understand that is somewhat offensive to many. To me if they are religious and have believe in peace and this things they should see that what they are trying to do is only causing chaos and hate; but it goes both ways. The U.S has to respect their religion and belief and the Muslims should understand that even though it's not their fault what their people did years ago is obvious is disrespectful in many ways and should move the center to another place. In the other side, the political side, in my personal opinion they are using this issue to get people to, maybe, believe in them more. To me this is ridiculous because is they focus on "getting elected" or having people agree with them and see who disagrees, they are never going to understand what this is really showing not just them but all of us.
          Today, what is going on in  Florida does not have a "maybe they're right" side. To me is completely ridiculous, disrespectful and nonsense what they are trying to do. One of the most important rights in the U.S is the right of belief. Burning something that means so much to their religion, a book that they go by and believe in is just something impossible to understand. Even though their people, years ago, caused chaos in the U.S. their religion now has nothing to do with it. In my opinion Christians will not like for their bible, something they believe in and go by to get burn. Will catholics like that? or other religions? Of course not. Their bible is important to them just like ours is to us. This is another issue that is trying to send a message to those who still don't see that people around us have hate and some people are just getting attention out of it when they are only causing hate upon each other. To me this is something that should not be happening because god is one and we all believe in him, and gods message does not say if they killed our people years ago then we do whatever to get them back. Gods the only one to judge those who killed those innocent people, not us. In the political side, yes, freedom of speech is a right but Pastor Terry Jones is abusing this right and who he is, meaning if it was one of us saying "Hey, lets burn their bible because they killed...and they sent... blah blah" they will ignore it and think we are crazy! But he's a pastor, he has people to influence and believe in him. However if he was a pastor dedicated to god, and know the importance of peace, respect and all of this things he will see that he's getting attention my putting people in war that will only lead to hate.
          The immigration issue in our country is also showing us the racism in our country. All of these three issues are completely different but lead exactly to the same massage. The Issue in New York, Florida and the issue going on in Arizona have a lot to do with hate, racism and of course people thinking we are not all equal. But more than anything people should see what this is really about, it should be teaching us all a lesson. We are all equal regardless of their past, the things they've done, Let's understand that god is the only one to judge them.
