Negative Media Representations

❑ The majority of Western media are instead exposed Muslims as bad, mad, angry, uncivilized, irrational,
dangerous, and more recently, a security threat, is an image that is embedded in most media
misrepresentation and mischaracterization of Islam and Muslims.
❑ Islam as the religion of “violence”, and Muslims as the monolithic
“other” is used by many politicians and hate mongers alike
to create prejudice and fear.
❑ The media often now act as a fourth branch of the government
and a mouthpiece through which these narratives are normalised
and brought into our homes.

16
❑ Geo political events such as the Iranian revolution, the occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan, and tragic
events of September 11th. 2011, did not create the image of the “Muslim other,” but these events were
key in exacerbating the negative stereotyping of Muslims in the media.
❑ The average French man overestimated with the 31% persons of
Muslims lived there while in actual the Muslims population is 5%,
due to the misconception of constant publication named as
“Immigration Crisis”.

Mark Steyin, according to it Muslims breed faster than mosquitos & then they constitute Europe
named “Eurobia”.
❑ As anti-Muslim sentiment grows, it is clear that media coverage of Islam has a large part to play in
building increased feelings of suspicion, insecurity and anxiety among non-Muslims, and alienation
among Muslims.
