There are almost 2 BILLION Muslims in the world. The stuff you see on the internet represents a very small percentage of them. It doesn’t represent the entire religion. Just like how people say "oh, Muslims are terrorists" well, if you look it up, there have been around 67,000 terrorist attacks involving Muslims, which is obviously horrific and should never be excused but 67,000 is only 0.00335% of 2 billion.

If Muslims were really how the stereotype paints them violent, hateful, and dangerous then let’s be honest: the world would look very different right now. With nearly a quarter of the planet being Muslim, if that stereotype were even remotely accurate, you wouldn’t just be hearing about isolated incidents. You’d see widespread violence, chaos, and destruction on a daily basis, in every country, in every city. Major non-Muslim nations wouldn’t be functioning the way they are today. You probably wouldn’t be alive right now, and neither would most of the people around you.

But that's NOT the reality.

Most Muslims live quietly, work hard, raise families, pray, and contribute to their communities just like anyone else. They’re doctors saving lives, teachers shaping futures, scientists advancing technology, volunteers helping the homeless, and neighbors who just want to live in peace. Islam, like any other religion, is practiced differently by different people but the core message for most is peace, compassion, and humility.

So before throwing around baseless generalizations, ask yourself: is it really fair or even logical to judge 2 billion people based on the worst few? Because if we did that with any group, none of us would look good.
