The stereotyping of Muslims as primitive, savage men who express their faith through killing, raping, and enslaving persists despite the media’s constant obsession to dispel it for 2 decades.
Why is that?
Because the Muslims keep renewing it every month with new atrocities and the so-called “moderate” Muslims (i.e. Backsliders) do nothing to stop it.
Stereotypes exist because they are historically accurate even if they aren’t really statistically accurate. No one ever stereotypes a Japanese person as stupid and lazy, or a white person as a great dancer.

The funny thing is that movies used to use them as a safe place to put a certain type of humor, or a way to advance an unrelated story. Last Sunday I took my kids to see E.T. (1982) on the big screen, I had never seen the movie. A lot of the modern P.C. wasn't there. Divorce was a tragedy and it hurt the kids. And a kid dressing up as a "terrorist" for Halloween was not allowed because he wouldn't get two blocks.
This reminded me of "Back to the Future" (1985) where the Doc gets some needed materials to middle eastern terrorists who wanted him to build a bomb for them. These are two of the most seen movies of the current generation. In both cases, the story works. In the first, there's a hint of a joke because if E.T. himself were scene in public, he'd be stopped immediately. The second is because it was a plausible way for the Doc to get the resources needed for his time machine, but also a device to drive the story of Marty going back to 1955 by accident.
