[allahsservant]

does the negative media about Islam affect you, or has it guided you to Islam, made you more interested in Islam, or anything like that?:salam2:

Asalam ALikoum wa rhamatallah
I am a very emotinall person in general and the news makes me cry and angry so I just cant watch it, I cant look at the hypocrites and liars as they stand there and continually try to sway and dceive the public they have to lie flat faced to the people. I love my religion and I love my felllow muslims so to hear them speak badly of them makes me literally sick to my stomach.

 

[lama]

media is taking a lot of important concepts and either focusing on them or killing them,so we have to be aware of that

 

[American Muslim]

Is there an awful lot of bias to every type of media, including those from muslim countries? Of course there is.

But the media also informs one as to what is going on. Even bad intelligence is still intel. Search through multiple types of media, from different countries and you will often get an approximation of what is truly happening.

 

[TheHumbleWun]

The media is just an opinion of a persons or organziations perspective. Alot of times people are forced to write a report in a certain way that makes their boss's happy which in turn make's the organization have consistancy as far as how they want to be viewed. If you write your report differently that could mean potential unemployement, no salary promotion, bonus, etc from the organizantion. Even as auditor for my job, I have to write reports in a certain way that makes my boss happy. The best thing to do is look at the various media sources and compare them, or better yet ask the person who is directly involved in that situation (i.e ask a Iraqi about how they feel about American troops in their country).

The media is a tool to get your point across, alot of times during war, the sides will try to bombard telecommunication towers and devices first (example Israel against Syria) so people don't know what is going on or receive any information. It's an effective tactic.

I hate CNN and FOX and they call themselves the most trusted news in the world, they should call it, the most brain washing news in the world!!!! because that is what they do period.

 

[American Muslim]

u've just got it right my dear friend...!

i'm a Malaysian chinese muslim and sadly to tell you the mentality level of my race here is at such narrow minded and their hatred towards islam mostly because of the western and local media especially CNN and BBC. They do claim themselve so call very concern about international news and happenings but when talking about muslim community only 'terrorist' appeared in their mind. u see how western media has influenced many people here badly.... even same happen in worldwide. they've been totally brainwashed... and totally sleep all the time that they don't even aware what is really happen around them!

well these days
the media is a very powerful tools
most of the people with money want power & the media is their next target

the propaganda is at highest levels ever
the truth can be so easily distorted
& you wouldnt even know it
its just sad, frustrating to see how the bigger more powerful nations
get their twisted messages across
while we muslims cant even make a proper accord of oursevles
all this sterotyping is just ridiculous

The only thing you can trust on the news nowadays is the weather forcasts and they sometimes get that wrong as well.

Assalammualaikum,

It is amazing how the western media has succesfully brain washed many people (non muslims) into believing all the negative things about Islam and muslims. I know i cannot trust CNN or Fox news and as a matter of fact, many others. It really pissed me off. We need more Al jazeeras to tell the truth to the world ! :tti_sister:

 

[justoneofmillion]

assalmu aleikum, media can brainwash the fools who are insecure about themselves and the purpose of their lives the preys

of the hunter who kills their self esteem, the victimes who are still waiting for others to tell them about themselves and the

world sourrounding them evethough they learned how to go to the bathroom alone and don´t need the baby bottle

anymore.as far as am concerned the medias are like a window where sometimes you get to see the humans tragedy in their

helplessnes and stuburness , a vain and empty theatre where everybody tries to play the principal role with the title "we are

time puppets" i like the sound of nature the beauty of creation i long for elevation try to escape but sometimes my nature

my altruisme catches me feel sorry for those who are being fooled me too am also then a "time puppet"!


wassalam
