Slide 7 - Conclusion Summarize the research question/thesis statement

1. Discuss the larger significance (why is it important?) These misconceptions are
important, because they tell people what others think of Muslims.There are different
thoughts about Muslims but most of them are not true. The importance of these
misconceptions show others what is thought of and hated by others.
 2. Reveal unanswered questions (if any) and tie up loose ends by restating the thesis
There are many things that people think about muslims, but as you can see most of
them are not true. Just because some of the bad people in our world happen to be muslims, it
does not mean they are all bad people.
