Why is it that many people usually believe what they see on TV? Take the news. I’m not saying that everything on the news is wrong, I’m sure the weather is right and the local news. But when it comes to our government and what is going on with the war people just assume that it is automatically correct. I was talking with someone at school today about politics. And i was telling her that the media in the West portrays the Arabs and Muslims as barbaric and terrorists. This is a fact, that the Middle East is stereotyped as terrorists. Don’t tell me when you see an Arab or Muslim looking person you don’t think of terrorists. And if honestly you don’t then i respect you so much. Same as if you see an Asian you make fun of their eyes or driving. And if you don’t do that then again i respect you. My question is why many people stereotype all Muslims as terrorists? Population of the world = 6,439,781,784 Population of Muslims= 1,522,813,123…Less than 10% of that are extremists.
