it is not the people it is a person


#JeSuisAhmed Reminds Us That A French Muslim Died To Protect Free Speech
The Huffington Post


            Basically the whole world has heard about the terrorism that took place in France. Sadly but truly it is not over yet. People are still being attacked because of a magazine releasing an article ridiculing Muhammad, an Islam profit. Seeing that the profit who was mocked[h1] , or pointed out was Islam everyone assumed that all Islamic people took part in terrorizing France. However, in the second attack among the twelve innocent people who were murdered and lost their lives to a masked guns man was a French MUSLIM police. This man died protecting people who had ridiculed his profit, he died protecting the rights of people who scorned one of the most important people in his religion. To say that all Muslims are involved and to blame all Islamic people for the doing of only a few radical people is not only naïve but also ill-advised.
            Julien Casters, a man who once lived in Paris and now lives in Morocco decided to protect the honor of Ahmed Merabet, the policeman who was killed, by tweeting #JesuisAhmed. This hashtag began to quickly trend across all of twitter. Arab European League leader Dyab Abou Jahjah later tweed also using this hashtag. “I am not Charlie, I am Ahmed the dead cop. Charlie ridiculed my faith and culture and I died defending his right to do so. #JesuisAhmed” (1) This tweet puts into simplest words how terrible and wrong the doing of the Islamic radicalists truly is.

            This article must be read for one reason. It must be read for people to understand that a whole culture is not at fault and a whole culture and its people cannot be blamed.
