Why?

by Uzair Alam
(New york)

“Why do we dislike each other just because of different backgrounds? Why are people afraid of things they don’t understand? Why do people treat others differently because of their race? Why is this world full of ignorant people? Why do people call others terrorists, just because they're Muslim? Why do racists know they're wrong, but don’t want to accept it? Why are some people against a black president? Why can't there be peace?”
