I am not the only one who is afraid that the guy with the odd costume and huge black beard or his wife who is completely covered in black clothing from the top of her head to her feet including most of her face might have a bomb and will blow themselves up when I am nearby.
It would be normal to be fearful of other cultures and there odd appearance, especially if the news media always reports something bad about them.
It tends to drill it in our minds. (Sensationalistic editorials and News Media) it's all about money or power.
The mind is pre-programmed to remember the negative over the positive in most any situation, we also attach the (Fight or Flight) that is programmed into our DNA.
Those 2 things will deeply implant to our psyche.
If we constantly hear news media broadcast from around the world that is always the same, it will reinforces the above.
Which only leads to more money for the media and in turn changes our Ideals and Paradigm. (Paradigm - the view of the world around us, shaped by our experiences)
It doesn't mean some threats are not real, but we cannot judge other people or societies based on the same view that the extremist do, they lump everyone together in one group. (The Media doesn't care)
Targeting Threats not specific Groups or Societies, is one of the hardest things to do. Thats why we do it to them and they do it to us. (Because they get brainwashed too! iEspecially in a closed society.)
