An incident that enraged social media users, took place at Le Cenacle restaurant in France. There,the boss of the restaurant refused to serve two Muslim women. Claiming that, "Terrorists are Muslim, and all Muslims are terrorists." The women agreed to leave out of respect. Reportedly, the man apologized to a group of members from the local Muslim community who were questioning the reasoning behind his crude comments. Because of this the French minister representing children's, families, and women's rights ordered a search against the restaurant's boss' deplorable actions.

My knowledge before reading this article was that there is still racism against Muslims because of previous events that have occurred.  This article was important because it shows just how far we still have to go in society. In my opinion the article was well written by the author because he didn't state his opinion and only stated facts, and did not seem biased towards one side.

  1. it's awful how people are just so racist and ignorant, and accuse two women of being "terrorists" based on their ethnicity.

  2. It's really sad how people discriminate against a whole group of people because of a few people's actions. Even thought he apologized his true opinions and feelings showed. It also shows the women's maturity because they left out of respect.

  3. it's really frustrated hearing about how people around the world are getting treated like this especially if they aren't doing anything wrong like these women.
