This letter is in response to Heather Barton's guest column, "Lack of respect for Muslims common for many students on campus," April 27.
I think some people are too quick to interpret things as biased against them because of their own bias. A Muslim may see a poster depicting a traditional Muslim in garb with the words, "I am a killer," on them and think it is an attack on all of Islam. Yet, I see a social remark on the religion, to which 99 percent of all terrorists prescribe: Islam. However, I am just a simple kafir whose life should be forfeit according to Islamic Sharia.
If only more people would understand the issues at hand and the history of the Middle East, we could all have somewhat intelligent conversation on the issue.
But because 98 percent of the students here on Penn State's campus know absolutely nothing about the history of Islam and its impact through violence on the world for the last 1,400 years, we will continue to have people who support the censorship of artwork, such as that of Josh Stulman, the person to which I assume Barton is referring.
