Unity vs Building Walls

This came out a little while ago – apologies for the delay in posting. The Pope is speaking out against economic injustice and the latest trend towards equating whole faith groups with any particular negative brush. http://www.cbc.ca/beta/news/world/pope-francis-islam-violence-1.3702795. Glad to see statements such as this coming from various people – but I have to wonder how we have ended up in an environment in which something like these needs to be pointed out. Is it not clearly evident to everybody that a such broad, negative stereotypes are inaccurate at best and highly destructive at worst?

On a slightly lighter note, someone made sure that Donald Trump got the wall he has been trying to get – but not exactly in the way he intended: http://www.cbc.ca/beta/news/trending/donald-trump-star-wall-1.3687158.
