Muslim Stereotypes

Today at the Excellence School, one of the English classes did a lesson on Islam and their lives. The PowerPoint presentation was straight-forward. The students then discussed the image of Islam. The link below to the video clip has a typical response.

Then the discussion went further as students talked about Muslims who have drifted from the faith or don't know their own religion. According to the students that I talked to, those who have not learned much about Islam are the most likely to be attracted to radical websites. This is a different narrative than the idea that radical Muslims are the ones who hold most tightly and rigidly to their faith.
