The Fallout of One Person’s Actions

February 13, 2009

So in my last post, I wrote about being worried that someone will judge all Muslims by something that I do. One’s actions and one’s religions do not go hand in hand but I know that I represent Islam to some so that’s why I’m aware of what it is I do. I’m reiterating the [...]
