FFFFFUUUU >:[ late debate rebuttal. -yells-

Sam’s opening response is very agreeable, in his debate he argues that

“…the best first step that can be taken against terrorism is to create an understanding between the United States Government and nonviolent Muslims.”

In America now there is a lot of racism toward people who are Arabian or middle eastern. Also there is way more anti-Islam encouragement and so he states,

Americans made many enemies when they denied the building of the harmless structure. Until we can accept something like this, we will not improve relations with the nonviolent Muslims,

On sam’s debate at first I thought his second topic about how America likes to change other countries was a little off topic from the opening statement. However after reading the paragraph after that I saw how he tied the ideas together. I thought maybe it would have helped if he would have made a separate paragraph about being tolerant and accepting.
Overall it was a good writing and it had lots of strong points. The only thing that I saw that could be fixed is the over use of the word we.
We can build shelters for refugees outside of their borders.

We can reform U.S. immigration laws, but what we can’t do is change those countries government and philosophy. We attempted to do end communism in Korea, and failed. We attempted to do the same, in Vietnam, and failed. We for a while have been trying to change the Chinese treatment of its workforce, but they are not showing any major signs of changing.

Also he didn’t describe and elaborate on the racism, and anti-islam issues.
The quote and the whole essay seems to have been very accurate and I don’t doubt that this is a major problem in America. However my opinion is that terrorism doesn’t just happen, someone did something to somebody to piss them off. So how can we blame the terrorist for being mad and radical when America is acting like a bully, Pushing around other countries, which sam pointed out, never works.

We can build shelters for refugees outside of their borders. We can reform U.S. immigration laws, but what we can’t do is change those countries government and philosophy.

Also the government cannot be trusted to inform the people. Now in the modern age even America’s government hides their cruel actions, deceive its own citizens.
