Post Delayed Till July 6th!

Hello readers! I’m sorry to announce again that I have to postpone my review. My review of Pete’s Dragon will have to be published next week, on July 6th. I’ve been busy this past week especially with this being the month of Ramadan for us Muslims. It’s when we fast from food and drink from dawn to sunset for a month and try to do extra prayers, etc. Because of all that, I’ve been busy and just tired as well. So once again, I apologize for the postponement. Thanks!

Prejudice, especially that which is due to skin color or religious beliefs, is a dangerous and disgusting societal evil that every generation bears witness to. In recent events, we have witnessed what African Americans in this country go through on a daily basis. The Jews have gone through this for hundreds of years. And since 2001, Muslims like myself, are no stranger to the word, “Islamophobia”.

If only things like this would get more media coverage!

How do people address the issue of prejudice? Many people use various mediums, including film. The Disney Studios themselves addressed this topic in a film entitled The Light in the Forest. Although dealing with prejudice between white men and the American Indians, the film is extremely relevant in our era and applicable to any one of us.
