I think this statements represents quite well the misunderstandings and assumptions between cultures. All but a few Americans are angry and sympathetic to the bombing of the Golden Mosque and terrorism in general. Unfortunately the only thing that makes the news is the extremists talking about how happy they are that Muslims died
America gets stereotyped as war mongers, the Middle East gets stereotyped as terrorists, the Africans get stereotyped as blood thirsty animals, etc.
Yet in each of these regions, the major majority of people don't hate others, don't want to kill each other, respect other's beliefs. Its just the minority that go to the extreme and start the violence that drags the average, tolerant people into a fight.
