I see lots of people posting that most middle easterners are terrorists.

Are most middle easterners terrorists?
[SIZE="5"]NO.[/SIZE]

I live over here, on the other side, overseas from most of you. [I AM an American.]

I've lived in the middle east for over 7 years, and arabs are the most kind people I have ever met [with the exception of some teenagers]. They even ask you into their house to have some fruit and coffee, when they don't like you.

I would have to say, that there are more terrorists in America then anywhere around where I live.
You all watch too much 24.

Now, my question is, that how much do average Americans know about Middle Easterners?

It's just that I've seen lots of people look surprised when I tell them stuff about over here.

N T, most people don't think everyone is a terrorist over there. It's just funny to make jokes about it.

Everyone in my class is an idiot just because this one kid is hindu doesn't mean he's a terrorist.
