Notas del editor

  1. Acorrding to fbi statistics compiled by princtenunversity roughly over 90% of terrorist attacks on the US since 1980 were by non muslims based off of the united states govermnents formatted defintion of terrorism. To contradict this another survey taken by columbia university revealed that US citizens believed over 80% of terrorist attacks on the US were by muslims. This kind of completely skewed perception is simple example of the power of the media and its stance.
  2. Things are rarely what they seem, in this situation the word terrorism and the islamic people should not be paired without a closer look. The media being the number one influence on american minds has a very strong agenda that can be clearly revealed through their simples incentives and should not be the endall to your opinions or beliefs. Beneath the surface the truth could not be farther from reality.
