In today's world people judge others simply by looking at them and making decisions based on their appearances and actions. Misconceptions are caused by making firsthand assumptions, receiving incorrect information from a source, or seeing some members of a specific group commit an action that is attributed to the entire group. Most of the assumptions made are almost incorrect because the people judging do not move forward to see what the truth is regarding their observation. Misunderstandings are caused by how the viewer interprets the group's expression causing confusion. These misconceptions often go viral and are sometimes even passed from one generation to the next. Many religious groups are often perceived in a different light than their true identity. American Muslims, followers of Islam, are one of the main victim groups of this mass misunderstanding. One of the main misconceptions about American Muslims is that they are terrorists, but the FBI database clearly states that 6% of terrorist acts in the United States are due to Islamic groups. Many people believe that Islam teaches its followers to practice terrorism. In reality, Islam does not teach terrorism but rather the literal meaning of Islam is “peace”. As an American article mentions, "Islam does not support terrorism under any circumstances. Terrorism goes against every tenet of Islam. If a Muslim engages in terrorism, he is not following Islam. He may be misusing the name of Islam. Islam for political or financial gain." ” (USA Today). From here we see that terrorism is not a teaching of Islam, but rather forbidden. Islam is an all-encompassing religion that covers all aspects of life, from financial well-being to diet and marriage......middle of paper......your spouse. The groom must choose a specific type of bride if he is not arranged. Many have believed that Muslims are similar but they all differ in one way or another. The company should take the time to educate itself about a specific group before drawing conclusions. Work Cited1. Stacey, Aisha.
