 I think some have a very ignorant stereotype of them. They don't really know them. So they just have based off of what maybe media goes by. That there's terrorists. That's really good for terrorists. There's really a lot about them in books. That's true. You need to believe in that. Most, I mean, there are some that are and then there are others who can't actually be very good. There's probably an ignorant stereotype of... It's probably a view of like a blending Arabs and Islam. Arabs and Islam extremists into... They pretty much view a lot of Middle Eastern countries as terrorists, even though they're not. It's the extremists that basically are the ones that are getting the attention, so that we're viewing them as the only thing that's going on in that country. The stereotypes all around. Look out for them when they're in... And sometimes they're mostly... I know it's on commercials, but I've seen this being really breached and broken. They're sometimes seen as using women as... It's kind of like a subordinate. Or it's just something like that. That's kind of what I mean. You guys have to... I don't know what you guys call them. You guys have to cover yourselves in society, right? Yeah. But I'm not real. Yeah, no, but I mean, yeah. Sure. Stereotypes. Brown skin, turbines. I think of the Middle East, I think. Saudi Arabia and Egypt and, you know, Syria and Afghanistan and Pakistan and areas like that. You know, stereotypes, I'd say, pretty same as most Americans know. You know, hate America. You know, just despise anyone who looks like me, seems American, hate what I stand for. You know, everyone is a Muslim, you know, just things like that. I guess those are the stereotypes. Stereotypes that I used to have? Mm-hmm. Well, growing up with a family who is kind of prejudiced against anybody who wasn't white, basically the stereotypes that are associated with 9-11 and things like that. All the bad ones. But not anymore. But like what? Like, don't trust anybody who's Arab, you know? Not that I have, but I know that, like, growing up in New York, September 11th, that was horrible, done by horrible people, but that wasn't the extent of what Americans, when they think of the Middle East, you know, they think, they group everyone, a huge region, as just the Middle East. Yeah, thank you. I learned that Muslims are, they call it Islam, and it's religion-based, it's just a religion. Muslims and Arbics? And Arabs. Arabs? I don't want to see them. They tried something. I'm not sure. I'm a Muslim. It didn't work. What did you do? I don't know. They use a Quran? I don't know. I really don't know. Quran or Muhammad Ali? I don't know the difference. What about Arabs? They speak Arabic? I don't know. And they have a strict rules of religion. They can show, women can show their skin or something. Not necessarily. What's the difference? I guess it has to do with an ethnicity. I'm not sure what the definite word is for the religion. I mean, anyone can necessarily be a Muslim if they practice the study. But not everyone can be an Arab. Like, I'm not Arab. It's just, that's not me. But if I choose to be Muslim, then it's because it's what I'm practicing. Okay, Arab is a culture. Muslim just means that you practice Islam. For a long time, I did use those words interchangeably. And now, I realize that it's not right. I'm still trying to make sure I understand a distinction. But I know that saying someone's Arab, then saying someone, and then turn around and say, Yo, they're Muslim is not the same thing. It's two distinctions. I'm still learning those distinctions, but I know that's not what I should say. So what's for you, Arab? What's the difference between Muslim? Arab, I realized, is like a American. It's like more like a nation type thing versus just one Pacific place. Your Arab, you know, not necessarily saying, Well, because you're Muslim, you are an Arab. Because that's not the correct. Muslim is, I understand it to be just the faith on your religious, like your religious affiliation makes you a Muslim. So you can be American and be a Muslim. You can be Indonesian and be a Muslim. It doesn't mean you're an Arab. Not all Arabs are Muslim and not all Muslims are Arab. In fact, you know, most Muslims are not Arab. So, but I think that is a stereotype that just is rampant throughout the United States that, you know, as soon as you hear about Arab, you think Muslim. So I recognize the difference, but at the same time, you know, that is definitely something, you know, you think of when you first hear Arab, you're like, oh, Muslim. So it's, you know, there's obviously a general public and obviously there are not all like that. It's like if Christians were viewed as all the people in the Westboro Baptist Church, they're, you know, they're not like a lot of the Christians that are on campus or in America. So it's a small group that makes up a general view. No, I don't think Arabs are terrorists, which is a comment for a lot of people believe that. But I don't think all Arabs are terrorists. Why? Just, I mean, that's like another person like in Latin America saying that all Americans are terrorists, or, you know, for us to say that anyone who agrees to call me as a terrorist. Do you think all Arabs are terrorists? Well, no, I think that's like saying all, you know, Christians, you know, like the Westboro Baptist Church, you know, they're not, everyone's radical. Of course, you're going to have those factions. You're going to have radical people on any aspect of life. But as for, I think that the Islamic religion, the Islam itself has gotten a really bad rap by maybe one to two percent who choose to use radical measures to get what they want, to advance their agenda. Most Muslims are peaceful, you know, nothing but to go about their lives and just be, you know, exist like everyone else. No, no. Because that was a particular specific group. And, you know, Christians have had the Crusades. So for someone to say all Christians are terrorists or cruel, that would not be right. And so you just have to understand that the few cannot and should not define the many ever. And so, no, I don't believe it. I just can't, I know, I don't believe it. And you can't believe it. I mean, you can't know for certain, like there could be a warped reality where all Arabs were terrorists, on that, you know, universe. When I was in basic training, a lot of discriminatory terms were used, like, such as before I started taking Arabic classes. Like I hadn't been exposed to anybody, Arab or Muslim beforehand. But the drill sergeants would always say, if we were doing a drill for squad attacks and stuff like that, they'd say, we've got two rag heads or two camel jockeys or something out there that, you know, we need to take care of. But now, I mean, that kind of, I feel really offensive just saying that to you. So, but just to express, now I wouldn't even say that, or like Haji or something, because that has a direct reference to their religion. Like my preconception about going over to Egypt, I thought it was going to be a very hostile environment, but that's not the case. I mean, both everywhere in the world is this made up of people. We just want to go about their lives in the most peaceful way possible. And I would say that those, while there are tensions that exist, they're not on an everyday basis. You know, you don't go around worrying about them. But I mean, we have some social issues here in America that are, you know, prominent that we need to take care of and focus on. Prejudiced against, because this kind of reputation that they, the kind of stereotype that's been built after 9-11, you know, I'm sure they've been discriminated against, just really just, I think it probably has been hard for a lot of Arab immigrants who just try to go about their lives, but a lot of people when they see them, they get scared, you know, get on a plane, you see someone who might look Arab, people get a little nervous, and that's not right, and unfortunately that's the case in a lot of circumstances. Educate yourself before you start generalizing an entire population of people. Never... I mean, it's going to sound, I'm sure it's going to sound liberal or not, but I mean, you can't trust all media. You've got to get information from a source. And you've got to decide if that information is viable for yourself. So that you can back up your opinion, not just, you know, speaking off the top of my head. So yeah, I think that's a good way to approach the debate. And after this Boston explosion, you didn't have the first, you know, glimpse. You want to know what my first thought was. I thought, heaven forbid, this is the U.S. government creating hysteria so that they'll have national support to attack North Korea. That was my first thought. It was a conspiracy. It was a conspiracy of my own country. And so I saw your Facebook status that there was someone saying kill all, what was it? Kill all Muslims. Muslims because they had something to do with the Boston Marathon. And I just was like, oh my God, I don't know, I feel like 9-11, it was horrible and not to joke about it. But because it was one of the many, the first attack in a long time on our own soil, it has scarred a lot of people where if anything even comes close to that happening to them or onto our soil, it must be these amazing Jihadists who somehow got through our, you know, military protection system once and only they can go through. I mean, no, I mean, it's just ridiculous. I honestly thought it was my own government. I don't know. Or even North Korea, like North Korea before Muslims, like you know, based on what we're hearing in the news now, but no 9-11 is burned in their mind and the repertoire of attack and terrorists that's all they can pull out. Not even thinking about domestic terrorists, that's not in their minds. And that's sad and it's crazy that that's the period time that we're in right now as far as domestic protection and thoughts of international threats. Always Muslims. Why?
