Racism Against Muslims
In a time of crisis, it is natural human nature to point the finger of the blame at whomever is the closest. However, it is one thing to merely think it, but an entirely different thing to publish your speculations. Since the September 11, 2001 attacks, all fingers have been pointed at the Muslims. The newspapers have lowered their standards of decency in regards to what they will print in their pages. It would be considered completely absurd to publish racist comments normally in our day and age, so why are we allowing bias and ignorant thoughts to be delivered to our doorsteps in the paper. Canadians pride themselves in being objective in their news coverage. However, the Toronto Star is guilty of allowing letters and articles that give a misleading impression of Muslims to be published. Newspapers regard this as exercising the freedom of speech. But at what cost? People are not born racist, it is taught. By allowing absolute rubbish against Muslims to be published, we are teaching our youth that it is okay to hate a group of people
