Terrorism should not have been generalized with the faith of a person.
Yet, muslims or the follower of Islam are looked as a terrorist around the world. (we might not but the majority of world does.)
What could be the reason for such stereotype?

Simple reason? Racism. Islamphobia. All that gross stuff.

White people commit acts of terrorism all the time, yet people don't always put the terrorist label on it. only reason for that is just internalized racism.

Why the Islamophobia got into people?
In west (USA, western Europe) where there are even no muslims, in east (china, Myanmar) where they are living along with muslims for quite a long period of time.

We have to think about it, can you make me a list of people who are terrorist but not Muslim and not following Islam. And In the same way can you make a list of the terrorist who are Muslim and following Islam.

Make it asap and the rest of world is able to understand that Islam has no relation to terrorism.

I'm waiting for your reply.

Why is racism a thing? Why is sexism a thing? Why is homophobia a thing? It's just how the world is. There is no reason for it apart from people just being ignorant and wanting to feel better than others. I think that's the main reason; it makes people feel better about themselves by pretending their race/gender/faith is better than others.

I am no expert in terrorist study but a widely accepted list, that is followed over by american and European countries for sanction and other purpose is the FTOs by bureau of counter terrorism of USA, which consist more than 2/3rd of Islamic groups.

https://www.state.gov/j/ct/rls/other/des/123085.htm

Even the most talked about terrorist individual ever was Osama Bin Laden without any doubt.

This article also summarizes list by individual countries and UN's 1267 regime list
Still more than 2/3rd are islamic groups.

There is a also list that provides daily/monthly terrorist activity in 2017. The list supports my proposition.

Well the reason why that happened is because when they muslims are going about stabbing and shooting people, they are always saying Allahu Akbar, Christians don't say that and neither does other religions of the world except Muslims. When i do hear terrorist saying Jesus is Great will i start believing that they are also terrorist.

Nothing wrong with being a Muslim but the writings of the Quran can be misinterpreted far more easily than other types of religions. Everyone should just become athiest and learn to love one another and all of these problems would vanish.

Can we stop this kind of statement? Stop criticizing muslims, stop the racism and discrimination. This kind of statement, that is the reason why most of us still did not change the mind set towards muslims. Not all the muslims are terrorist.

Terrorism is the systematic use of terror, or fear, to make the populace comply with whatever groups demands or political beliefs. Religion is/has been one of the most widely used tactics to do so throughout history. Currently it's Islam that is being bastardized to do so. A few hundred years ago Christianity was being used for such purpose. People/Governments use this tactic to ensure the population does their bidding. Xenophobia, propaganda, and lack of knowledge are the best ways to utilize this tactic. People need to keep this in mind and not get caught up in the hysteria and try to use tactics to counter this type of thought. Education, open thought, and understanding are some of the ways that can be used. But there are the hardcore supporters of this and they are the ones that need to have their thought processes changed. I'm not saying accept terrorism in the least, just understand where/how it's coming about and then find ways to counter it instead of becoming part of the mob mentality regarding it, that's how we get people that don't need to be hurt in the way of the mob.

I think PART of it has to do with something called "confirmation bias" where you use a cognitive shortcut when developing your opinion of something by drawing upon the most readily available information. That information is all the stuff you see on tv, message boards, events that you remember vividly like 9/11, etc. At least from the standpoint of a US citizen and prior military service member, when I think of the word terrorist, "Muslim" pops in my head. I know it isn't true for most cases even in the Middle East, but that's my brain's shortcut

Muslims's closed society had made them extremist.
They have their own closed schools, where they makes their child xenophobic.
A good example they convince them music is evil.
They lock up their girls. Girls are just for being wives of a male.

But now the things are changing,
Muslim students have started sharing their desk with others. Where they are free to talk about anything and learn anything.
Girls are getting some freedom.
They are talking about ideas, science and music more than ever.

They just need more love and attention.

One of the reasons would be the hatred that the West created for Islam, influenced by 9/11. The media fueled the terrorist / Muslim stereotype. People acquitted this stereotype, deceived by their xenophobia and hatred of immigrants (with the question that they are the causes of unemployment). In addition to our historical Christian indoctrination; the supremacy of Christianity in the West made it possible to revive the period of the great crusades as "positive" humanity.
As commented earlier, terrorism is everywhere, regardless of belief, country or race. Islam is not, and has never been synonymous with terrorism; what in fact exists, are radical strands, just as in Christianity itself, Protestantism, or any other ideology. And what actually happens, is the mediatic reporting of these cases of terrorism, extolling the aforementioned stereotype.

Islam is not a terrorist religion /Muslim are not terrorist. The word Islam means peace, pleasant. So Islam is a religion that teaches salvation good for oneself, especially for others.
Let's see with common sense, no religious teachings of any kind teach about violence, murder and massacres. terrorists are not religions, they are not belonging to any religion. Terrorists have no religion, they do not use any religious laws. Now we as humans who live in modern period, sophisticated, and advanced education should be smart in gaining information, not be easy to believe and conclude something. Nowdays, the media has a very big role to shape the mindset and understand the community. let's think smart.
