neutral  atef Sharia: Although the term is translated correctly, but I think the usage of " الصور النمطية " in the above text is not correct. Stereotypes are considered to be a group concept, held by one social group about another, which is not what the text says

  -> but this is exactly what the text says, atef :s -- a group, say 'the west', happen to have specific mis-concepts about another group, say 'muslims', and their belief, say 'islam'

neutral  atef Sharia: People can not build "stereotype" against themselves that may harm their nation. As "stereotype" is built by others. because of this I see the wrong usage of " الصور النمطية" in this text.
