We see in the media daily that many people are very hostile against Muslims and many thinks all Muslims are terrorists. I know that is not true, but many need to be convinced. So I wanted to share this video. About a man named Masih Akbari who is a Muslim from Trondheim, who wanted to find out how friendly or unfriendly we really are.

The video that was uploaded to YouTube 3rd Christmas day has already got over 20.000 views. And on 22nd of December 22 year old Masih recorded this video standing on one of the busiest streets in Trondheim blindfolded holding his arms out with a sign saying:

” I am a Muslim, but I am not a terrorist. Do you trust me? I trust you! “

In only 20 minutes over 40 people had given Masih a hug. He says to the local news paper (Source) that he was inspired to do this video after someone did a similar one right after the attack in Paris. He also says he is very proud of Trondheim and all the great people here. The video shows many people one after one gathering around him to give him a hug and the video has already gotten international press mentions all around the world. Masih has read many different opinions about what others think of Muslim from online, but in Trondheim he says he has only met people who are friendly towards kinds like himself. He says there are very little fear of people from other countries in Trondheim and I have never heard people here talk bad about Muslims.

What are your views? Would you give him a hug? Or would you judge him as a terrorist?

He says at the end of the video,

Thank you to everyone who came and gave me hug. Together we show that we are united.
