Judge Not, Lest...
It's easy to judge based on a moment...but what about all the moments you don't see???

Terrified
My heart is breaking. My Muslim brothers and sisters, I know it was not you. I know you didn't fly those planes. I know you're an American. I know that the community center will be open to people of all colors and creeds. I know that freedom, especially religious freedom, is what this glorious country was founded upon. I don't know why we're forgetting. I'm so sorry we're forgetting.
I know that terrorists flew those planes. I know that extremists have made it so hard for you. You, who would befriend me. You, who would sing with me. You, who believe in America the way I do.
I'm so sorry.
Please don't give up on us. I know they can't see it now, but they will. That they are allowing the terrorists to win. That they are allowing themselves to be terrified. That they are allowing themselves to be changed- to forget what it means to be American.
I would gladly hold your hand. I would gladly sing with you. I am proud that you are my American brothers and sisters. And I know that tomorrow, you will grieve like I do. For our brothers and sisters who perished at the hands of evil.
I know it was not you.
