I can say and I guess we can all say that without a single doubt that Barack Obama became the president of USA mostly because he is black. Well, I can also say that because of this most of us are thinking he will make the revolunionaty change that so many of us have wanted and waited for so long. In a way it was a sigh of relief for the Muslims around the world, maybe now with the new 'black' American president the world will not be so hostile and racist towards Muslims, maybe now as soon as a bomb sets off anywhere around the world the first people we turn to and blame are not Muslims, maybe now everytime we go past a muslim woman wearing hijab the first words that come into our heads is not 'terrorist'.
We'r now looking at Obama to change things, make our lives a little more peaceful and make people less hostile towards each other. So much has happened and so many things have gone wrong, Afghanistan, Iraq and now Palestine...the twin towers, the January bombings in London...almost sounds as if the world is at war.
But maybe we shouldn't get our hopes so high? Just like someone said to me, it's all an excitement with the new president and everything but after the election excitement he'll just be as no good as the rest...
