Eleven

I think there are two main points made in the short film Eleven. One being that we can never claim that "they" are all the same. The fact that a handful of Muslim terrorists did a horrific act does not mean that they are all terrorists and they are going to repeat the same type of horror. The Oklahoma city bombing is just one of many examples. The fact that there are many Muslims who detest and hate what was done is clear and solid proof that they cannot all be put on the same level. Generalizing a "people" and believing that they are all the same in all aspects is just stupid. Not saying that the people who act this way is stupid, but rather this ignorance and mentality is stupid and needs to be fixed.

The second main point brought across in the film was in our extreme actions to stop the extremist, we become that which we hate. The founder of the gang Eleven wished to be rid the country of terrorist threats, because it was after all the terrorists who took the lives of so many innocent people, one of which was his dad. But in the process he became so focused on the fact that they were Muslim that he closed his own mind to think of the many many innocents in that "category". The two victims that were mentioned were not even partakers in the Muslim faith.
