In the twenty-first century, prejudice against Muslims or any one from the Middle East knows, has a name for there mistreatment and it is called, Islamophobia or Anti-Semitism .”

I can remember a time, before there was such words, that this problem was already within the fabric of the American society and had been for several generations.

I have spoken to Palestinian children and some adults who have been subject to the mainstream of the same rhetoric, that myself had been through, from the time I could first remember.

Usually this had to do because someone does not fit in the stereotypical idea of Americanism, from what I have observed, by ones look, personality, religion and thinking or in some cases the differences of dress.

It is found that people from numerous foreign countries, have a set culture and the idea of changing is not in their mental framework.

Personally, I have always believed a person should be true to themselves and in numerous cases may even alleviate certain social problems within a society.

Other people I have found, that are subject to similar treatments, are the Spanish and Black people in the American society and the four groups mentioned for example, will find usually isolationism more acceptable to maltreatment.

Prejudice of difference, should never be in any fabric of a society, for in doing so, it eventually not only erodes the nature of the said society, but also creates and intolerable situation not just to the abused, but the abuser.

For the betterment and appreciation of humanity, is the key stone for a brighter future for everyone.
