Today in class, we discussed stereotypes about muslims that were addressed in Borat. This happened in the film at the rodeo when Borat hoped George Bush would be able to drink the blood of every man, child in Iraq because he improperly believes that that all Iraqis are terrorists deserving to die.
Though Borat purposely exaggerates the stereotyping of Iraqis and muslims, many people in the real world do possess such incorrect view of how muslims really are. Below is a blog I found that seeks to erase the stereotyping of muslims by demonstrating how they are just regular people.
The blog is calls "Pictures of Muslims Wearing Things." The blog shows the wardrobe of everyday and famous muslims to highlight how they are real people who don't always wear burkas.
