students Ahmed edhah students Ahmed edhah (Mar 12 2020 3:27AM) : I like what Walter Diaz did and keep doing. more

The fact that immigrant have to feel somehow that they are not belong to the US may cause some people to forget their cultures and pretend other culture characteristics. While Walter Diaz didn’t go that way, he keep in his mind that he have to adapt to the US culture, but never forget about his real culture, so he show up with his friends and done a lot of things for themselves as an immigrants and show people their cultures.

We all in the same situation with Walter Diaz, and most of the students in this class doing great as an immigrant looking forward to have better future, however we have done similar things like that to talk to each other about our cultures. I think we should do that in our last year at least plan a day where we could have time to show our cultures to our teachers and all students in Ellis, I think it will be so much fun and great thing to do. Since you are so close from our school office, I will ask you to ask the main people in our school to find a day for us to do that and let people who want to show their cultures know so they could prepare for it.

I think is important for people specially xenophobic to understand that the reason people migrate from their country to another, is always because either their live is in danger or because they can’t see any future where they are. It is also ironic to know that these things can happen to anyone no matter where you are from. As for this young teenager, his whole family was in danger because of gangs and they had to move in order to survive, and always keep in mind, no one would ever leave his home and endorse racism or xenophobia just for vacation or for fun. And despite all that, they even created a band instead of a gang just so that you can learn about their culture with hope that you’ll finally like them

abdallah sevede abdallah sevede (Feb 08 2020 1:53PM) : Agree to disagree more

It is very unusual to see a member of the LGBTQ community considering herself as a muslim. To be honest, I am not totally sure if I agree or not. Not because I hate gay, lesbian or bisexual, it’s just that religion or any other oriented group have specific criteria that you need to meet in order to consider a full fledge member of the group it’s like being a black person and wanting to join the KKK. Additionally, marring a person of the same sex in prohibited in Islam. However, unlike the KKK, Islam is a religion of forgiveness where your acceptance is decided based on your true faith, your connection between you and God no one else. Therefore, her speech is inspirational and every is possible when you have unconditional love.

So, we can see that not just muslim, or LGBTQ, race, but others are also living the same thing but we don’t know it. You have the right to hate or not like those kind of group, just think about it they are been feeling the same thing we are felling, when we are being discriminated. So we cannot say in public things like LGBTQ because you don’t even know if a person next to you is one of them. Just be careful when talking about it. Blair did not say she is in the LGBTQ but once she got convert into muslim she is just seeing how people are being judge. Let’s not judge people on who they are or what they are. She is just proud for being a muslim now, all we can do is support that.
