A Bad Week For Humanity

Humans - are we our own worst enemy?

This week has been a terrible week for humanity. On Monday 20th May 2013 a deadly tornado swept the town of Moore, Oklahoma and left around 24 people dead, including 10 children. This was bad enough, with the town smashed to pieces and houses crumbled. Humanity didn't cause this tornado, it was nature, but the other hideous event of the week was caused by humans, if you can even call the killers 'human'. 
On Wednesday 22nd May 2013 a terrible twisted attack took place in Woolwich, London where an innocent British soldier was hacked to death by two Islamic extremists. Now there is obviously a huge backlash and uproar about what has happened and people are being extremely racist.

Nature can be deadly, but so can we.

This event did not happen because of religion, race or politics, regardless of what the killers said or think, it happened because they are clearly evil and twisted people and are trying to justify their disgusting actions with religion.
People are losing faith in humanity, which is only fair. We are horrible creatures; killing, torturing and hurting one another. Destroying our planet. But not ALL of us are evil. Generally as a population, yes we are, but if you break it down into groups there are the 'evil' people: murderers, rapists, child molesters, then there are the 'bad' people: thieves, attackers, criminals, but then there are the general public, the average people who carry on with their mundane daily lives and do not commit heinous acts. Humans are not all bad. 
The racism stemming from this attack is preposterous. Not all Muslims have ever or will ever commit such abominable acts. The killers clearly wanted fame and that is what we are giving them by talking about it so much, I know that is contradictory as I am writing a post about it, but I am defending groups of people who are now being discriminated against because they look like or believe similar things to these killers. Stop with the racism.
