People are just being thoughtless and mean if they make that assumption. It's ridiculous.

Here is what the President had to say:
"The enemy of America is not our many Muslim friends; it is not our many Arab friends. Our enemy is a radical network of terrorists, and every government that supports them."
Anyone who stereotypes Arabs, Muslims etc. in this way is actually going against US policy and they are themselves traitors to the United States.
However, as has already been pointed out, people often act or speak without thinking, and confronting them does not help. I hope that you can have some friends at school who are not so foolish, and that by your own good example and their support you will be able to overcome such stupidity.
When I was a kid at school I also said some stupid things. As I grew up I came to regret those remarks. Many of your schoolmates probably will too. If they do, I hope that you can forgive them.

Well the majority of terrorists are Arabic Muslims. It's a fact. Arabic Muslims brought down the Twin Towers, they beheaded people in Iraq, the burn flags, cause destruction over cartoons, dominate women... what I just typed is the truth. The people who did these things are Arabic Muslims. Maybe not all Arabic Muslims do it but the ones who did those things were.
Leave Islam and the heat will die down around you.
But I'm only hearing your side of the story about kids at school. Maybe your political beliefs are more supportive of groups like Hamas or maybe your faith is bordering on radical, maybe you're a loud mouth about Bush. I don't know.

I'm sorry kids at school are calling you a terrorist. Our society is filled with ignorant people raised with poor values and no manners. No one in my family would call you anything other than welcome.
I say this based on the assumption that you don't behave in any way that causes good and decent people to think of you in a negative way.

Because our society has created a horrible stereotype that is just wrong. I have a friend who travels for business and is on the no fly list...all because of his religion and the color of his skin....
you can thank "war" in general for creating this fear and hate...it happened to the Germans, the Jews and even the Japanese...the Vietnamese are still getting over it and that was over 30 years ago....
it is just one culture trying to feel superior by putting another one down....
I'm Mexican and I get called an "illegal wet-back" all the time. even though I was born here and am 1/2 German

it incredibly is going to rely on the rustic the guy being asked... As all of us be attentive to, maximum westerners hate muslims so as that they'll think of of stuff like Terrorist, etc... even nonetheless, the greater sensible Asian in the eastern area of the worldwide can differentiate the style between muslims and terrorist, so as that they'll think of of stuff like: friends...

I would complain to your tutor or head of year and warn them that if it doesn't stop you will involve the police. This is racial harassment. That is one thing i hate is racism. People are people, who cares what colour you are. I don't. My best mate of 15 years is Muslim and there's no way on earth he could be a terrorist!!!
Seriously tell your parents and teachers and make sure it stops!

Kids at school tend to be ignorant little b....rds. They will find any excuse to insult people who are different. I was called a wog at school because my skin is olive. Little did they know that I am part native aussie part white.
