I am with the majority opinion that terrorism has no place in society and should be expelled.
However, this election has one major fault, it seems to be associating all purported acts of terrorism with a particular religion.
Now let's take a moment and look at this from a statistical and logical point of view.
Most of us are business minded intellectual individuals, so this should be simple to comprehend.
There have been 140,000 terror attacks committed worldwide since 1970.
Even if Muslims carried out all of these attacks (which is an absurd assumption), those terrorists would represent less than 0.00009 percent of all Muslims.

Non-Muslims make up the majority of terrorists in the United States: According to the FBI, 94% of terrorist attacks carried out in the United States from 1980 to 2005 have been by non-Muslims. This means that an American terrorist suspect is over nine times more likely to be a non-Muslim than a Muslim. According to this same report, there were more Jewish acts of terrorism in the United States than Islamic, yet when was the last time we heard about the threat of Jewish terrorism in the media? For the same exact reasons that we cannot blame the entire religion of Judaism or Christianity for the violent actions of those carrying out crimes under the names of these religions, we have absolutely no justifiable grounds to blame Muslims for terrorism.

So here are some statistics for those interested. Let’s start with Europe. Want to guess what percent of the terrorist attacks there were committed by Muslims over the past five years? Wrong.
That is, unless you said less than 2 percent.

Here's an interesting article of 10 things your most likely to be killed by, over a terrorist.

10 Things More Likely to Kill You than Islamic Terror)
Now, you could argue I cherry picked these articles. But the the majority consensus from most articles I have read is that the percentage of Muslims who have no affiliation with terrorism always outweighs those that do. We're not talking about a ratio such as 6:4 here, we are talking about those being affiliated to terrorism being as little as less than 2%!
So when you refer to a Muslim as a terrorist, you are not talking about the less than 2%, but rather 100% of its entire community, including the 98%+ who have never had any association with terrorism in their life.
The point I am trying to make is don't paint everyone with the same brush.
If you're painting every Muslim as a terrorist, you may as well paint every American as a murderer, or every individual on the planet as a criminal - because a portion of it's population has purported such crime. So why is there so much fear over terrorism and Muslims?
Put basically: "The fear of Islamic extremism currently sweeping the nation is objectively overblown."
Why would media portray a religion negatively?
It could be for an array of reasons. From a business minded individual like me, one of the first things that comes to mind is money. Believe it or not, lies sell a lot more than the truth.
Example: If I had written an article such as "Jennifer Lawrence to potentially get axed from the next hunger games after allegedly being affiliated with terrorism."
Sure it may be far from the truth, but are you telling me your not going to click that article? - which will then lead to me making some money.
Did you know Fox News was on track to earn more than $700,000,000 in 2010?.
We are not talking about small corporations here. These guys are big money machines! Lies sell well!
To end, this post is simply for informative purposes, and I hope it doesn't instigate a rant. P.S. Mods - I know you don't like formatted text, I just thought with such a long post it would help break it down a little.
