Ethnic and Racial stereotypes: Terrorism

Terrorism is a national stereotype targeted at muslims following Islamic religious beliefs from nations such as Arabic countries by the media aspect of news reports and articles. The news is mediated to construct a stereotype of muslims being terrorists into the minds of individuals creating false representations and judgements of muslims. Woman wearing burkhas or hijabs and men wearing throbes are judged on the streets of misleading individuals without realisation of the profound information focused heavily on the misrepresentation of the people of this nation. Hatred seeps through the clashes of news reports and articles based on terrorism targeting Muslims grasping onto their faith in humanity, piercing gazes rest upon those in an aeroplane doubting their actions and questioning their motives, and are eagerly searched and examined than others in Airports. What items do they think of when rummaging through not only their belongings and clothing, but their reason for this journey? Why do they think this? Why specifically to those practicing the morals and beliefs of Islam?

Active readers/ viewers take on the role of questioning the media by creating conspiracy theories believing the events are not how it seems and are just fed to them through the use of injected media.
