The problem is the entire way that Western media portrays the Middle East. Terror attacks by Muslim individuals or groups get 357% more coverage than other acts of terrorism, and the vast majority of those attacks occur within the regions overwhelmed by war, with the majority of victims being Muslim themselves. That's not to belittle the events that have happened in the region or elsewhere, but attaching the concept of terror to a single population only contributes to the misunderstanding.
