Green Tree The Day of The Bomb -The Other Side of the Story [Type the document sub [Pick the Question If you suspected that this might not be an international terrorist bombing, what clues did you use?The suspect of that bombing being an international terrorists’ was out of question considering the indications such as the eye-witnessed escape of a few workers right after the incident and also the unavailability of their body parts by the forensic pathologists.Question 2What can you do to not fall into the stereotype trap when a violent incident occurs and Muslim citizens are mentioned in a news article?

To avoid becoming a suspect for any violent incident for which Muslims are being blamed, a few changes in your appearance can save you. For instance, changes in the way you dress up i.e. start following the Western fashion line, getting rid of the beard/abaya, etc. Also, to save yourself, it would be better if you do not get involved in discussions where you put yourself in a position where you are left alone as opposed to a general public opinion, which exists at that point of time. Question 3What do you think that might change how you think about domestic and global terrorism?

In my opinion, the most important thing is to stop thinking in the ‘all or none’ thinking pattern. What most of us do is that we tend to consider things in black and white terms and this is why we usually end up at one extreme with dissatisfaction of self, along with the disapproval of others for our points of view. Similar is the way of our thinking when it comes to terrorism, whether domestic or global. For instance, Muslims are always irritated about how the whole world blames them for every terrorist activity and take out their aggressions whenever and however possible.

Due to this, they hardly get time to calm themselves down and think about the reasons that brought them in this position and what they can do to take themselves out of this targeted position.ReferenceSubaihi, T.
