The whole world is currently facing the consequences of an on going pandemic i.e. Covid19. Amidst all this, the western world has picked up a strong weapon against islam.
In this modern day world, media is considered one of the strongest weapon as it can be used in any way by the powerful ones to portray anything as they like. The western establishment is not quite happy with growing popularity of Islam in the outer world especially in Europe.
The ones who hold the power have chosen to show Islam to the world as a religion of fear and terror via media sources whereas it quite the opposite. Its is not quite difficult to portray something through media and make people believe it.
After 9/11, life for Muslims or people who looked like Muslims living in the US had become a living hell. The hate against Islam had grown so much that going out of the house was life threatening for the Muslims.
Even after the New Zealand attack when Muslims were attacked in Christchurch mosques only on the basis of hate against the particular religion; Islam.
All of such incidents have increased ever since the portrayal of Islam from the point of media’s sight has increased in the direction of hate. There’s so much baseless Islamophobic content being projected that people are compelled to believe that it is a religion that supports terrorism. In reality? Terrorism does not have a religion but people are going to believe what power holders will want them to.
Being one of the most powerful modern day weapons, Media has a responsibility of presenting unbiased and fair sides to stories. If this isn’t taken seriously, it will only project more and more baseless hate against Islam and Muslims and the life threatening situations for both; Muslims and Christians will never end.
