Hayley Reflection 1

The events concerning the film that mocks the Prophet  Mohammad these past two weeks have frightened me. Although I can't say I didn't see the reaction coming, I wish things were different. Violence is escalating in the Middle East, and spreading to other areas such as Asia. Some US embassies had to be evacuated for fear of further riots.  I believe that the sole purpose of the film was to spark hatred towards Americans and Israelis. While the creator's plan is working, something should be done to control the riots. I have read articles about peaceful protests from people who realize that America is not at fault for the film, and I believe that these should continue.The Muslims who are currently angry must realize that it is not America's fault, though it is possible that they really hate American's and they just need a reason to attack. Hopefully, the hostility will fade as time moves on, and relations between Muslims in the Middle East, and Americans of all religions can improve.
