What Is Muslim Stereotyping?

Our FOA was over the topic of Muslim stereotyping. Many people assume Muslims are more likely to be stereotyped as a terrorist or as a danger or threat in public situations. In our project, we show an example of a terrorist-type crime committed by a non-Muslim, where the Muslim was assumed to be a potential suspect of a crime throughout the whole video. Although the plot was slightly exaggerated to express the main idea, the occurrence of stereotyping such as this is very common in real world scenarios due to the influence of the media and press, especially in airports or large gatherings. Our IB topic was focused, and used words and phrases related to the topic. The learning outcome of this FOA depicted the influence of media on Muslim stereotypes.
