That's what they want you to believe. The truth is, bad apples exist in every community - why is it that only Muslims are in the media hotspot? To understand this, you need to study history comparatively.
Salaam,
It is not only Muslims. Christians have had a hard time with the mainstream media, like the issue with priests sexually abusing young children. It is stereotyping and many groups have been affected, like the Jews and Black people. I have even noticed some people are stereotyping white people as being racist from my community.
Muslims in western countries are having difficulty defending themselves against these generalisations because they lack funds and influence, unlike Christians and Jewish people. Jimmy Carter was accused to being racist against Jews due to his new book. The public were not convinced because Jimmy Carter had the funds and influence to defend himself.
At the moment, there is more focus on Muslims due to the wars and some immigrants in western countries happen to be Muslims. So..
