Prejudice studies (3) -Japanese has prejudice toward muslim-

 If interviewer ask me "What is your strong point?", I always answer "I have many friends all over the world.". Accually, I have many foreigner friends including muslim friends. However when my japanese friends knew that I have muslim friends, almost all them asked me,"Are there not bad people??" So, some japanese people think that muslim and islam countries are very dangerous.

 Maybe, the reason why they think is cause of terrorism like an Al Qaeda. In 9.11, many people were killed by suicided bombing. Also, many people were killed by invading Afghanistan.

 Of course, all muslim have taken part in sucide bombing or other act of terrorism. However, the prejudice is very huge in the world.

When I was in ninoi akino international airport, I took a taxi. and the driver is from mindanao and muslim. At first he said me, 'Dont feel scary, I am a muslim, but not dangerous'. Maybe he realized that muslim are feared by other people. Or he has an experience that he was made a misunderstood by christian or buddhist people.

So, I dont know that when this misunderstanding and prejudice end.
