Do you think U.S media brainwashes people against Muslims?

The U.S. media portray anybody who opposes U.S. hegemony as a terrorist.

But the most salient property of the U.S. media---the one that really explains prevailing U.S. attitudes towards Muslims and the Middle East---is that the media are dominated overwhelmingly by Zionist Jews. Mentioning that here usually earns derisive, angry references to conspiracy theories and anti-Semitism, but that doesn't mean that the observation isn't altogether true.

Ofc it does.

I agree with the topic creator. I may not be an expert on Middle Eastern culture, but I have enough common sense to realize that not everyone there is a dirty evil terrorist like the media tries to make them out to be and that our soldiers are not the chivalrous heroic knights they pretend to be. Yet I sometimes feel like the only person who realizes this, it's gotten to where I just keep my mouth shut all the time in the real world because any time I disagree with the things my government does I get the third degree from family and neighbors who believe all the propaganda their fed about America being the most perfect Utopia in the world. America is downright racist towards muslims right now and that's all there is to it. I guess leopards really don't change their spots even when you'd think we learned our lessons about Civil Rights and Equality.

Oh well, at least I have faith in karma.

[...], i never wanna hear people defend a group that thinks its ok to clip the sexual organ's of their females

-DirtySanchez-

I hope you also take a dim view of groups who think it's OK to clip the sexual organs of their males.

We wouldn't want to be guilty of double standards, would we?

I wonder why civilian Muslims die in a conflict, the media just uses some euphemism e.g. collateral damage. Maybe if things were different we wouldn't have as many war mongering chicken hawks in the government.

Yes, and the holocaust wasn't real, Osama was the good guy, down with Israel. All that stuff.

I think a lot of people that don't live in the U.S like to give a lot of opinions about the U.S in general. It's never good to generalize, my grandmother is the only person in this house that watches the news.

Most people don't watch the news nor care for it honestly.

And another thing.... here in New York City i can't speak for the government but the people here celebrate a day off where they can enjoy a picnic and fireworks not the flag in 4th of july so while other countries are yelling we're the best country in the world in here i just see people having a good time.. might be because of all the different cultures here but i feel better that things are that way rather than the ignorance of patriotism... like if you can choose where you're going to be born... i've hardly seen anyone with the flag and be proud of it people just want to party honestly. Most people are against what the government does anyhow.

No. Extremists and even "moderate" Muslims do a good job of painting a bad picture of themselves. For example, the Muhammad cartoon controversy, the Muhammad teddy bear, and protests in Europe to name a few. But I won't disagree that the American media does tend to over-exaggerate on frivolous issues or matters.

It's not the US, it's the media in general. Exactly the same happens all over the world, the real problem is the politics. They abuse the one-sided views of the media for their own agenda, making it look like it's actually true

Do you think its wrong to require an immigrant to say the pledge of allegience?

Philokalia

They have to, or they can't be citizens.

i watched a documentary last night in which 5 different muslims from different sects and areas of the world were asked whether or not it was wrong to kill the infidels.

not one would either answer at all or say it was wrong.

make of that what you will.

don't feel bad though muslims, the christians are just as big of asses as evidenced by the silly shyt they constantly pull as you are.

If you're living in another country and the country provides you with all the resources then it seems resonable.

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"] The media presents stories that will pull in viewers. It IS a business. But at least it's not owned by the state as some countries media is owned. And it's always funny when a kid whines about the US but has no clue what the rest of the world is like.

I'm pointing at the many people that never left the US and praise it as the best place to live on Earth... That believe they're the most free people in the world and BS like that.

Do you think the Pakistani media showcases americans in good light? Medias are generally biased.

Yes, although I think that it comes from a much more powerful, sinister source. I don't blame media outlets for it because they aren't the enemy.

No, that was the whole point of my post. Read it again. You got so defensive that imediatelly counter-attacked with a dumb statement like "I take it you're one who bashes a country without actual knowledge", when I didn't bash any country.

I'm from the UK and can see why muslims dont like American people, America thinks it rules the world and basicaly just makes up an excuse to go into a country and rape it for all its resources so cant blam people really for not liking Americans.

Because if a Muslim commits a hate crime in the U.S they labelize the person as a MUSLIM where as they never do that to a Christian or a Jew.

t0taldj

Did you miss when the media talked about ANders Brevick? Which later turned out to be full of rubbish mind you, the guy was a secularist.But often reason why the media doesn't talk about Christian and jewish terrorist attacks is well because they don't typically happen. Every day I see cases of where muslims do these things and often is because of their religious beliefs. Every single day.

I watch Pakistani news channels a lot and Pakistan is too busy dealing with it's own corrupt leaders. The only "anti-American" news that pops in once in a while is regarding the US drones and how many innocent civlians are being killed by the war.
