If I stereotype them, it is that they are all doctors. In fact, there are many south asian doctors in rural America and many of them are not islamic, but a few I know of are, and those are the only islamic people I know, and so that is what I think of.
That having been said, I'm going to say something that goes against the flow here which seems to be "let's not stereotype Islamic people. They're just the same good people as we are."
Are you ready for this?
I want them to be stereotyped in airports and other high security areas.
It annoys me to wait in long lines while some little kid's or some businessman's or some grandma's bag are searched, only to get rid of a nail file or scissors. Never, to my knowledge, has a grandma, or little kid, or anyone other than someone that was Islamic hijacked an American plane. I think any racial profiling and stereotyping in this manner is just appropriate law enforcement. If a bunch of men of southwest Asian descent are driving around a nuclear facility, I think that should raise red flags that would not be raised if it was a carload of black guys, or white guys. (well, maybe not the same for white guys with militia bumper stickers or driving Ryder vans)
Anyway, sorry if it's offensive, but you asked, and those are my thoughts.
