I once was speaking to some westerners, some of their views on us S Asians were startling yet true. Some of them were :
1. S Asians are very judgemenal. We are quick to form & express opinions on any thing & everything.
2. S Asians have an opinion on everything, you only have to ask him or start a conversation & he'll either take over or launch into a triade. Rarely will he say " I don't know".
3. Our body language is confusing, nodding of the head, gesticulating etc.
Similarly, this increasing tendency to brand Muslims as terrorists is not only wrong but also counter productive. Just coz some people or groups of people from a particular community feel or do things in a manner does not automatically brand or put the rest in the same categeory.
Did the world blame the christians for what Hitler did ? No, he & his group ( Nazi's) were responsible for their views & actions. Similarly, why should Muslims be branded as terrorists for what AQ , LeT or the likes of Saddam did or do.
Just the way christian countries stood up against Hitler, there were / are Muslims Govts ( not necessarily nations) too who stand up against terrorists.

or starting WW1 when most people who studied even a little bit about the causes of WW1 knows that while the assassination was one trigger it was just the one of many. Also there were 6 assassins all of whom worked for the Black hand and only one of whom was a Muslim. In fact one assassin was born to a father who was a priest. Once again you utterly fail.
