Everyone has their own beliefs, thinking, religion, cultures and traditions. God said in holy Quran 2:256: " There is no compulsion in religion for the right way is clearly from the wrong way." I believe that everyone has the right to practice their own beliefs and religion, as long as these beliefs will not cause any harm to others and people are not imposing their beliefs on others.
Firstly, everyone can practice their own beliefs as long as it causing no harm to other people, who are sharing the same country or community. In my religion for example, some Muslims are misunderstanding the religion. Also because of the lack of knowledge, so they think they have the right to kill any sinner or a non-Muslim. This is totally wrong, as Muslims only ordered to resist against those who are attacking them, and defend their beliefs. Pastor Martin Niemoller. wrote a poem about intolerance. Here is a quote from this poem: “ Then they came for me.. And there was no one left to speak out for me”.
Secondly, everyone can practice their own beliefs as long as they are not imposing their religion on others. For instance, what’s happening in Burma, the extremists Buddhists are killing Muslims there only because they are Muslims and want to have freedom to practice their religion. Furthermore, I read an article in class about a Jew who is abused only because he is a Jew. This is wrong! We have to never treat someone bad because of his/her religion or because of the community he/she is belonging to. In Quran God taught us, that no one carries the sins of another one. Therefor, everyone is responsible for their own deeds.
Ultimately, racism is always a bad thing that we must get rid off from our communities and ourselves. People can live together in peace with more tolerance to other beliefs and respecting others' right to have their own way in life.
