Oh God! This is completely ridiculous! When news of things like this gets out, that's when the world looks at Muslims, and shake their collective heads.
Its irrelevant that the actions of a few do not necessarily represent the opinions or the general accepted norms, but for some reason, when the world sees a headline with the word "Muslim" on it, negative perceptions and emotions are triggered towards the faith as a whole.
Perhaps this is a result of many years of negative media coverage i.e. highlighting the newsworthy rather than the truth? Perhaps this is fallout from 9/11? Or from the years of persistent efforts by anti-Islam Orientalists?
Calling, Menj -- where are you?
