I know some people are going to think that I’m probably exaggerating and that even worse happens on a daily basis in other countries, but it doesn’t feel real until it hits you, until it hits home. Back in January when Charlie Hebdo was attacked, it was the first attack that had really shocked France in a long time. But what happened tonight was just on another level. I feel sick. I feel like it isn’t real, that it’s just a nightmare and those tragedies didn’t just happen. I mean, they targeted everyone regardless of gender, religion, skin tone and so forth. I can’t even begin to process the fact that they killed almost everyone in the hundred people that were being held hostage at the Bataclan. Even the President almost couldn’t help crying and shaking on national TV in front of millions of people. I mean, he fucking declared state of emergency. This never happens. They’re closing borders, which have been completely open to everyone within the European Union for decades now. It’s just unbelievable. It’s in those moments that I realize how much I love and care about my country. But I also worry that the FN (a French extremist party) is going to take advantage of those atrocities to reinforce their presidential campaign and win the elections, because people are going to assume that that’s Islam’s fault. That every Muslim out there wants you dead. It worries me because it’s not the reality of things, it’s not what Islam is about but ignorant, scared and angry people will end up thinking that if it’s not already the case. And it’s sad. So fucking sad. I just hope if I have some fellow French followers who have friends or family in Paris tonight, that they’re safe and if they’re not, that I’m thinking of them. Please don’t go outside until further notice. Use the hashtag #porteouverte to find shelter in Paris and please stay safe. We need to be strong and not give in to hate.
