How is writing an essay on Jihad similar to overthrowing the US government? It could mean other things as well you know. The first impression that people get when they see a muslim person writing a paper on Jihad is that that person is a terrorist, or that they are related to a terrorist. What if people saw a non-muslim person writing a paper on Jihad? Would they arrest that person too? I don't think that they would. Lately, most things have been focused on muslims. I could be wrong seeing how I am not part of any government, but I can get a grasp of what's going on in the world by watching the news. So far of what I've seen, any suspicious acts by muslims are immediately taken as "terrorist" aggressions. What if "OTHER" extremist groups are doing the terrorist bombings and the muslims are getting blamed for it? It seems pretty logical. Other non-muslim terrorists are taking their chances to blow stuff up and not worrying because muslims will eventually get blamed. Proper evidence is needed to figure out who is actually behind most of the bombings. Some of the extremist groups admit that they have done the attacks, but some of them don't, and the blame gets pinned on the muslims. This kind of thing is happening everywhere around the world. Most governments are now blaming muslims as the prime terrorist groups.

I could be totally wrong, but every time I watch the news or read it, there is always something about "muslims suspected of terrorist agressions ", or "More suicide bombs by muslim terrorists "

Lately, I haven't even heard anything about any other attacks made by other extremist groups around the world. All I hear is muslims did this, muslims did that... and so on. The whole world is standing on edge to see what kind of "diabolical plot the muslims will think of next" instead of what kind of "diabolical plot terrorists will think of next". The term "terrorist" is now mostly being directed at muslims.
Once again, I could be totally wrong seeing how I'm only speculating with what I see on T.V. or read on the newspapers. If anyone else can disprove what I've said, I'll glady take back everything I've said here.
