Key Points of Discussion on Manchester Arena Terrorist Attack.
– Discussion on the idea that constantly being refereed to as a terrorist will make you do attacks of terror (In some and not all cases).
– The media portrayal of terrorism between country to country. The attack in Manchester generated more news attention in the UK than in France.
– Obai felt some attacks are given more emphasis than others (Hardly any news on the people affected by terrorism in Syria).
– International terrorist groups had disguised the intention to carry out acts of terrors with the idea of freedom before going around committing attacks.
– Labeling groups of a stereotype will increase the use of that stereotype (If you go around labeling Muslims as terrorists then they might start doing acts of terror to justify the stereotype).
– People who commit acts of terror and call themselves Muslim (or associate themselves with a group) can cause social conflict.
– Society always seems to blames a particular group for their problems (Black people, Gay people…).
