Traitor

Last night we were invited to a special preview screening of the movie Traitor. The movie is about a man who is raised Muslim (a Sudanese father and an American mother,) the choices he makes concerning his loyalty to his faith but also his loyalty to his country. This movie may be a little too close to home for some, but I believe that it is a subject that needed to be addressed. I know quite a few people out there who are prejudice against Muslim Americans because of their beliefs and the ties their religion have to terrorism. I understand the fear behind the prejudice but I think it is time for America to move on. I am not saying that we should forget what has happened but learn from it. "A life lived in fear is a life half-lived."
