No. The media is a diversion and scapegoat away from collective responsibility. The numbers are too vast and the roll call of examples just goes on and on and on. The media is not to blame. There is a degeneracy within the ummah that needs to be addressed. That is surely the point of the ummah. You and I know that the Qur'an will teach and encourage you to reach out and embrace education, diversity and peace and togetherness and equality. But again this is not what's happening.

I dont think its a scape goat remember i dont deny the fact that muslims are doing un islamic things and portraying it as being done under divine guidance... point i made about the media is that you dont easily pickup on all the good that muslims actually do.. its a fact ...

You are right, that is a fact that we don't pick up on the good. But that's because perhaps that the good being done isn't big enough. It isn't making any inroads into the bad that's being done. That's also a sad but true fact. |

i think sensationalism sells papers hence you will never really find a paper that really concentrate on the good.. they will almost always steer more to the bad... anyways points noted

One of my first posts in RnB was about a multi faith visit to Israel. Hindus, Sikhs, Christians and Muslims and atheists coming together to show solidarity, to learn about each others religion or none and to visit various houses of worship. I was surprised when the animosity towards the venture came from muslim forum users. |

There was a little girl who got shot in the head for trying to do good. It wasnt the media that condemned her as an American stooge who was against islam but normal everyday muslims. It wasnt the media that showed us these muslims condemning her but muslims themselves.

Simply blaming the media for the perceptions of islam is nothing more than sticking your head in the sand. Those perceptions come from somewhere Personally my views on muslims and islam changed once I started talking to them on various forums, I found more bens than anyone else. Well adjusted rational human beings who happened to be muslim seemed to be comparatively rare. Granted I do not have a lot of face to face contact in the real world.
