With all the negative news impacting how people all around the world see muslims, it’s just a breath of fresh air to see a change for once. In the Blind Muslim Trust Experiment, a blindfolded muslim stands in the middle of the streets waiting for hugs from random strangers. So far, it was done and documented in Stockholm, New York, and Toronto, and have been a beacon of hope that there is still a whole lot of good and empathy left even from strangers.
This experiments isn’t without challenges, since there are some awkward and heartbreaking moments in which people would just walk by them without even looking. However, those who stop and give the blindfolded muslims a hug and even some words of encouragement are more than enough to restore your faith in humanity.
