Rights, Rights, Rights, and more Rights.

In the United States of America we are spoiled with the amount of rights that we have.  The rights given to U.S. citizens give them so much freedom. We have the freedom of religion, the freedom of speech, the freedom of press, and many others. The freedoms and rights that we have are not only for certain races, genders, or religions. The freedoms we have are for each and every citizen of the United States.

            The freedom of speech and press is a huge right that we take for granted here in the United States. We can say and write what we want about almost anything and anyone. We can write what we want about the government and even say what we want about the president. When we say and write these things we know that we are protected.  In other countries you can be brutally murdered for saying or writing something that is against the government or the leader. This right that we have is very important and since we have it and it’s apart of our everyday lives we take it for granted. We don’t understand how important it is that we can say and write about what is on our minds and how we feel about certain things going on in this country.

            Another right that we have is the freedom to choose the religion we want to be apart. You can be Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu, or any other religion you want to be. In other countries there is a universal religion that you are ordered to follow. I am a Muslim so I know about many of the other “Muslim countries”, (yes the country is named off of a religion, I’m glad the United States aren’t like that) in which you are ordered to be a Muslim and if you are caught practicing another religion you are murdered. Although some people in the United States might give you a hard time for being a certain religion, the country and government itself will never do that same.

            This post makes it seem like I believe that we have to many rights here in the United States of America, but I assure you that is not the case. I believe that the rights we have are necessary for all men and women to have and other countries around the world should also have these rights. I sure am glad I live in the United States.
