It's one of many videos to go viral since the deadly terrorist attacks that shocked the world last Friday.
An unidentified man in Paris -- site of the attacks -- wore a blindfold and held a sign saying, "Do you trust me?" inviting those at Place de la Republique to hug him.
He said he was a Muslim and stood at the site where many Parisians went to pay their respects to the 129 people lost in the attacks.
According to reports, hundreds came up to hug him.
Later he took off his blindfold to reveal his face, thanking the people for hugging him, saying "I am a Muslim, but that doesn't make me a terrorist."
The video, posted by "In the Now," had nearly 1 million views as of this writing. \

It's really easy for people to relate Muslims to terrorists. Although there are some stereotypes, I think that is reasonable for people to think about. In spite of unfair to some Muslims; however, this kind of stereotypes is hard to get rid of in people's mind, unless the number of terrorists comes down.
回覆刪除Once someone sees a Muslim, almost all people may think the Muslim is a terrorist. I saw an article from Internet about a Taiwanese Muslim. He is regard as a potential danger just because he is Muslim. I think someone’s religion can’t represent his character. And everybody should have the ability of distinguish right from wrong.
回覆刪除After i saw the video,i feel very sad and sympathy to this Muslim man. And it also made me to know, not just focus on one person's background identity to decide a people.
