Stereotypes in the media- Muslim Terrorists

In the advert above, a muslim man enters a car and drives into a public place with the intent to kill as many people as he can. Fortunately, thanks to the Volkswagen Polo, the bomb set off in the car isn't strong enough to even blow up the car.

One code that is clear right from the start is the fact that the man is wearing a suicide vest. This may be a referential code, as a vest like that implies that the man is on his way to kill innocent civilians, and himself. Another thing synonymous with specifically muslim terrorists is the camp clothing and the scarf around the mans neck. These codes reinforce and help construct stereotypes about muslims and how they are terrorists.
