Muslims???

I found this picture today. I think it pretty much sums up the impression westerners have of the Islamic world. Or rather, the Islam we are being presented with in the media. (click picture to enlarge)

Well, I guess this is not the islamic world as much as the Al Qaida world.
It's really disgusting this kind of attitude those Al Qaida and thier supporters have, but what comes to misery, is that a lot of people think that all of the Islamic and Arabic world have the same attitude.
Also, 50% of people have an IQ less than 100, which put us into the fact that a lot of people don't act of what they believe, instead what other people tell them to.
A lot of the Islamic movements, tried to play on this Cartoons thing to gain publicity among people, and of the cause of the simplicity of people, and because they were tought that religion is something you should obay and not to discuss, which these movements take action on (as they speak in the name of realigion) they follow such things.
For me I hope you don't take that point of view about Arabs, and ofcourse Muslims.
Cheerz!!

Thank you for your comment Ala'a Ibrahim.
No I don't think Arabs and Muslims are like this not at all. In fact one of my good friends, Fadhi, was born in Palestine and is a Muslim.
I know I didn't write much of a text but my point was just that too many people in the west only see and hear the extreme Islamists. And if that is all you see it becomes harder and harder to believe that there is anyone good in Middle East. So we have to somehow take the focus away from the extremist and put it on the people.
