The International Olympic Committee has just approved a team for refugees! They are looking to help the refugees feel a sense of hope. They will be competing under the Olympic flag. They have selected 43 athletes to compete for up to ten spots in the Olympics. Hopefuls are looking to compete in events such as Tae Kwon Do, and swimming.
Videos like this are inspiring. It is great to see large organizations like reaching out and trying to make these marginalized people feel welcome, and more importantly make sure they know they are contributing members of society. I feel that articles like this are important, perhaps more important than the ones that illustrate the dire discrimination Muslims and refugees are facing. I hope that we can inspire people to see Muslims in a different light like the Olympic committee.
