His reason for assuming Muslim in this scenario couldn't possibly be because most terrorist acts in the past 20-odd years (yeah, yeah, I know - Tim McVeigh wasn't Muslim - just crazy) happened to be perpetrated by Muslims, could it?!
Andyman makes a great point - I don't need to rehash it. I also want to point out that nowhere in the original post did skymama call the captors "terrorists." How do we know that we do not have some sort of bank robbery here, for example? There are scenarios involving hostages other than what most people would refer to as "terrorist" scenarios.

I think you have a pretty short memory. Perhaps you've forgotten the Irish, the Spanish, Mexican, never mind any of the 20 odd countries in South America, southeastern asia, or Africa that have been actively kidnapping, murdering, and blowing things up for political gain? Hell, Quebec had terrorist groups not that long ago.
Or, maybe you were talking about terrorist attacks directly against the US. What other events can you blame on Arabs?
