RE: Stereotypes - weapons, tool of racism, propaganda and terrorism
stereotype.... like waging war on Iraq, stereotype like destabilizing countries like Syria, Lybia and others...
If these are stereotypes, yep that definitely caused the new wave of terrorism...
As much as I am against terrorism, we must admit that we did it to ourselves...
I think stereotypes have become one of the causes of these wars: they blame, that we live, they always set up against us, they are some troubles, and so on
I think the main reason for all that is a feeling of unfairness which is felt through middle east.
In a sense, Israel has been able to create some sort of Apartheid regime with the approbation (or at least with no reaction from western countries) while western countries never really hesitate when it comes to attack muslim middle east countries... so their is a big unfairness feeling in those populations... (and this is what extremist propaganda used... as well as less extreme one).
I guess the main stereotype how they see us, are lesson giver which can't even apply what they teach to themselves. I don't believe it has anything to do with our lifestyle. (lol just looks at Dubai... this is what they do when they have money... pretty much western lifestyle)
Ciceron said that the driving force behind the war is money. Because stereotypes are of course only one of the causes of armed conflicts, but I think they take a significant portion, which children are educated have a certain look and a certain relation to something or someone
