"I passed for the black"

I would like my readers to recall the following movies
 "West-side story"
"Gentleman's agreement"
"Imitation of life"
and of course "I passed for white"
 Then see the news of Miss Dolezal about her identity
 She is a white woman who has taken up Black Identity and insists that she is "BLACK" even though both her parents are white. I have no problems, Miss Dolezal you are black.
 She has done some remarkable work for the uplift and justice for the black people in the garb of a black which is worthy of a lot of praise and yes she must be given that credit which I would do. However she cheated us with her general appearance trying to change like curly hair darkening her skin (at least that is visible) etc. etc. That was for a noble cause and that brings to mind a statement:
 " telling lies for a noble cause is not lying"

 This is a free country and there is freedom of speech and a man can call himself and portray as a woman and demand from people to call him a her and likewise a woman can call herself a man and portray as man and insist that everybody call her a him but these people are treated  in medical spheres as "gender identity problems" . however the media call them as "heroes" for having the courage of "coming out of closet" just like the gay and lesbians etc. but Id disagree you require boldness for saying your opposite gender
 The list is increasing in our free society
 I did not know Miss Rachel Dolezal from Adam but now I know all about her.  I feel a movie will be made about it soon and why not: there is "money to be made. That could be called "I passed for the black"
 BUT I wish to say something about "Gentleman's Agreement" (award-winning movie)
 Jews have been looked down upon here in this American Free society for a long time and in this movie Gregory Peck plays a noted Journalist who wants to write about "anti-semitism" assumes a Jewish identity and then writes up on the subject after having had that "personal experience"
 Such movies that deal with Jewish things such as "Fiddler on the roof" are always hit and are made with religious zeal to promote Jewish cause. Most people, the actors directors photographers etc. who make such movies put their 'heart and soul' into it
 Several such movies have resulted in a very positive position of the Jews in this country
 I say that with the background in my mind:
 Will we Muslims have to work on some similar formula in order to improve the damage done by some supposed Muslims on 9/11/2001?
