More than 20 people wrapped their arms around Mustafa Mawla as he stood on the streets of Toronto, Canada, and asked for hugs.

The social experiment, filmed by Time Vision, aimed to eliminate the stereotypes surrounding Muslims.

Hell, Congress ain't doing anything else. They might as well try to outlaw hugs.

I would hug that guy in a second. Every man, woman, and child deserves a hug. The all deserve acceptance, and love. That is my humble opinion.
