Muslim Memes

Due to recent events that happen around the world that associate the Islam religion with violence, I want to take it upon myself to prove this stereotype is outrageously false. Many meme are spread throughout social media that depict the worst stereotypes of any religion, but especially Muslims. Based off of information I have found through various scholarly outlets, the Muslim religion is one the promotes peace, love, and empathy. I want to dig deeper into the thought processes that goes into making these "stereotypical" memes. One assumption I really want to focus on is the association between being muslim and their ties with "radical Islam". Many people assume if you are of the Islam faith, that your religion teaches you to hate Americans and engage in terroristic practices. As I mentioned before, there are thousands of meme on the internet that promote exactly that

assumption.
