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

Every day I see cases of where muslims do these things and often is because of their religious beliefs. Every single day.

t0taldj



My point exactly because the media only focuses on Muslims these days. There's massive killings taking place in every part of the world that does not mean muslims are the only ones doing this kind of nonesense. The media is just focused on the mid-east and I'm sure you know why.

If you're implying that muslims are the ones commiting the most crimes in the U.S then that's not true at all.

I don't go to the media for these stories, becuase most of the time they don't bother to report them.Like say Boko Haram's declaration its basically going to kill any Christian they see and make life hell for them, or say the New Zealand woman whom married a muslim man and was kept and basically tortured, or say those canadian girls shafia sisters whom were killed by their mother, father and brother for bringing dishonour to their family and not acting in a muslim way, or perhaps last years attack on a Christian Church in Iraq where they killed many and held them hostage. its true not all terrorists and crimes are committed my muslims. But Most Terrorist attacks are committed by muslims and genuinely because they believe it to be right.

Why's it wrong to clip the sexual organs of females but not males Sanchez? Or do you dislike Judaism for that reason? If so, fair enough.

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

But its ok when its done against us..Didn't you know that?

Two wrongs always makes it right.

And hating on one nation for doing the samething yours does is hypocritical.

Yes, however, you shouldn't really blame them nor even watch them. US media is very geared towards locals and presents the world from a national view. I find British journalism to be infinitely superior.

its wrong with females due to them doing so to stop the female from having pleasure, as for with a male i have no problem with it in that sense as it doesn't stop pleasure plus most male "clipping" is done as a baby when it comes to females they have done it to adult females simply for showing to much skin

Why are Muslims in the news? If you don't see that the actions of some Muslims have caused this reaction then you're not being truthful. And for the last time...the US rarely mentions Muslims. There is more problems in Europe than in the US.

Duh, but like I said, US media targets locals and look to the world from an American view, that's not to say it's bad as that is subjective, but it is definitely telling you to be prepared, something the TC missed.

I find reading up on my part of the world through British news outlets to be extremely refreshing and informative.

I'm going to go with this: For the most part, the media actually is not biased against Muslims. Sure, plenty of the people are, but if anything I do not see the media, for the most part, reflecting this.

News is always geared first for the local audience. That's fine...but you're still getting their slant on the news. It's fine to get differing opinions but never take them as absolute. They all have agendas. All I'm saying. Even the BBC....

Because Islam states that you're not a Muslim if you're inhumane or an exremist. To the world they may seem as a Muslims who is an extremists but regarding actual Muslims and how Islam sees it, he's not.

You're missing the point. There are tons of other actions causing reactions by people other than Muslims as well. You make it seem as if they're the only ones up to no good. Hell, the media makes it seem like it. Do you hear about the children being killed in Afghanistan by drone attacks? Do you hear about a preganant Muslim lady stabbed 18 times in a court? Forget about the Muslims. What about all the crap going on in Africa or China? Two of my close friends are from there and what they tell me every day always suprises me that why isn't the U.S bring it up.

That's the thing, they don't report as I think, not even close, they'll just bring awareness to the issue at hand whilst compiling as much information as possible from each side, their statements, reasoning, etc. Don't worry, your media is fine and America is great, I'm just saying the news outlets are not very fit for international reading. If you want real bad media just take a glimpse at Russia Today, PressTV, and every single Israeli-Arab media.

For you to make that speculation you would have to be getting the news simultaneously in two countries or more. Can you be in two places at once? You're not just asking at this point. You're accusing. The ME is in the news because the US troops are overseas. That does not mean the media is vilifying Muslims. American Muslims feel safe here. If you want to point out problems....why aren't you pointing the finger at European countries where there are actual problems? I'd use racism but that isn't the proper term......but if you think Muslims are doing better as individuals in Europe than the US...you are sadly mistaken.

I personally know someone whose parents were murdered because they were christian by fundamental islamic people. When there are car bombs, murders, female suppression and almost no tolerance to other beliefs or criticism, which generally causes car bombs. In Afghanistan, two Qurans were accidently burned, which caused like 15 people to be killed over a book that could be reproduced. South Park did an episode where they had every single prophet from like seven other religion along with Mohammad in a bear suit. No other religion reacted violently other then Muslim, threatening to creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-16808429 Then you have that happening in Saudi Arabia where a private home was raided by police where a prayer was going on.

[QUOTE="Victorious_Fize"][QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"][QUOTE="Victorious_Fize"] BBC lacks a world view derived out of national interest and sensationalist behaviour. When I'm reading something, it's pure integrity to reporting of information. CNN got nothing on them.

*shrugs* There are still criticisms of the BBC......but if they report as you think then I doubt you'd feel that way.

That's the thing, they don't report as I think, not even close, they'll just bring awareness to the issue at hand whilst compiling as much information as possible from each side, their statements, reasoning, etc. Don't worry, your media is fine and America is great, I'm just saying the news outlets are not very fit for international reading. If you want real bad media just take a glimpse at Russia Today, PressTV, and every single Israeli-Arab media.

Oh I read the BBC. :P

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"]And I've told you REPEATEDLY that you rarely hear about Muslims in the news. Yes we hear about drone attacks and the causalities. Yeah we hear about Africa and China. Your two friends are NOT authorities on the US.

LJS9502_basic



Here comes do golden question. Do hear about them as much as the mid-east? If you say yes then you know you're not keeping up with the news.

For you to make that speculation you would have to be getting the news simultaneously in two countries or more. Can you be in two places at once? You're not just asking at this point. You're accusing. The ME is in the news because the US troops are overseas. That does not mean the media is vilifying Muslims. American Muslims feel safe here. If you want to point out problems....why aren't you pointing the finger at European countries where there are actual problems? I'd use racism but that isn't the proper term......but if you think Muslims are doing better as individuals in Europe than the US...you are sadly mistaken.



I agree with your statement regarding Europe but that's a different story. If I had BBC UK or if I was living in Europe, I would have had a clearer picture. But the tension between U.S and M.E is much bigger than Europe.

Yeah but you're making a jump that Americans are all hating on Muslims and that isn't true. The media is not posting negative stories about Muslims. They report actions in the ME naturally when something happens. But there are other news stories getting the attention.

And why do your posts not work in quick quote?

[QUOTE="t0taldj"]

[QUOTE="Philokalia"]

Every day I see cases of where muslims do these things and often is because of their religious beliefs. Every single day.

Philokalia



My point exactly because the media only focuses on Muslims these days. There's massive killings taking place in every part of the world that does not mean muslims are the only ones doing this kind of nonesense. The media is just focused on the mid-east and I'm sure you know why.

If you're implying that muslims are the ones commiting the most crimes in the U.S then that's not true at all.

I don't go to the media for these stories, becuase most of the time they don't bother to report them.Like say Boko Haram's declaration its basically going to kill any Christian they see and make life hell for them, or say the New Zealand woman whom married a muslim man and was kept and basically tortured, or say those canadian girls shafia sisters whom were killed by their mother, father and brother for bringing dishonour to their family and not acting in a muslim way, or perhaps last years attack on a Christian Church in Iraq where they killed many and held them hostage. its true not all terrorists and crimes are committed my muslims. But Most Terrorist attacks are committed by muslims and genuinely because they believe it to be right.

:lol: Is that a joke? "Islamic" terrorism accounts for approximately 1% of ALL terrorist activities in EUROPE, meaning it is an extremely small percentage considering the substantial minority muslim population of Europe...Islam explicitely forbids the killing of any innocence, so your argument is fallicious (Terrorists commit these attacks in western society due to your governments tyrannical foreign policy within Muslim lands). Regardless though, Muslims have also actively condemed terrorist attacks en masse as well, but it's rarely covered by western media anyways.

If you see my original post I never blamed Americans, I blamed the media for narrowing down the image of Muslims. Because that's the source of info for some ignorant people I met, who pretend they know more about my religion through "media". Nor am I saying that all Muslims are good human beings. By media I also meant any source of News on the internet. Sorry I didn't bring that up earlier. That was the whole point. Regarding the quick quote, a couple of days ago it wasn't working due to some technical problems with GS. Guess I got used to it.

Well US media really doesn't make Muslims out as negatives. 911 certainly brought Muslims to the forefront of Americans....not in a good way of course...prior to that there was no real talk about them. But in the interim between then and now.....not much talk goes on. Sure you will always have ignorant people with their stereotypes and generalizations but that isn't the entirety of the picture. I know we have Muslims in my community. No one bothers them in the least.
