2. The next class will be about Islam. Check the newspapers for the next 2 weeks and find articles about Islam. How are they talked about? Do you feel negative or positive about Islam?

Newspaper's Summary
On April 30, a suicide terrorist attack occurred during a funeral in the center of Iraq. At least 32 people who attend the funeral were killed and more than 50 were injured in the terror. It seems that armed group of Sunni Muslims carried out indiscriminate murder for Shiah.

I feel negative about Islam because I often find some words such as armed group, deadly suicide bombing, bolshevik and terrorism in a newspaper article of Islam or watch the news on TV. Therefore I have an image of Islam as it is scared and danger.

A list of adjectives used to describe Islam: armed, deadly, scared and danger.

I agree with your observation. I always see Islam used with Terrorism (Islamic Terrorists, for example). But most Muslims are not terrorists, and are probably really nice, peace-loving people.

Excellent comments. With these adjectives and meeting the Muslim person last class, makes you think which is the truth.
