Answer 1

Because this isn't the stuff that brings the ratings. Right now people have images of cave dwelling, turban wearing, sword weilding angry men with big beards, and they'd like to keep it that way. If the west found out just how similar the Muslims are, they'd lose interest in the story, maybe even change their opinions alltogether, causing an even larger decrease in support of the war and the warmonger in the White House.
If only people knew...

Answer 2

You are asking the wrong question.

The fact of the matter is such: the news media doesn't find these pictures to be newsworthy, and they are right. There is nothing relevant about people who are just going about their daily lives to the public interest. And since American Media is all about sensationalism, they are going to show pictures that are exciting, and the exciting topic of the day since 9/11 is TERRORISM. Seldom does a day go by when terrorism is not making headlines.

Let me state for the record right now that I do not believe that most Muslims or Arabs are terrorists. However, it is no secret that most terrorists in this day and age are Muslim and THAT is why they are getting such a bad reputation. The Media is going to show terrorists regardless of what race they are or what creed they follow. If a majority of terrorists were Hispanics and not Arabs, I have no doubt that this same question would be asked, except regarding Latinos and not Muslims. And in case you haven't noticed, the news media isn't inundated with pictures of Mexicans going about their daily lives for the same reason - it is irrelevant to public interest as far as the media is concerned.

I hope this answer makes a lot more sense to you than the pseudo-intellectual garbage that has been posted previously. Peace out.

Answer 3

Didn't look at the pictures, but don't need to to answer the question.

"Good" depictions of Muslims is not that popular right now. The loudest ones(and thus the best covered by news) are the violent ones. I know as an American that the terrorists and the fanatical clerics who promote them are a small fraction of the Muslim community. It is the same across all of the colors, races, and religions. The vocal ones tend to be the worst examples of each group. White people have the KKK, black people have the street gangs, Muslims have the terrorists. 90 % of us just want to live our lives in peace with our neighbors. The other 10% cause trouble.

Answer 4

Lol! Its no longer some thing to do with their faith! I had 2 bfs. both muslim! the first one, i now evaluate him to be the worst guy in the international, yet no longer for the concerns about his faith yet about his nature n for him being so propose! yet my modern bf.. he's one of those astounding guy, n a better physically powerful muslim too! Im with him for 3 years n he always treats me as a princess! <3 So.. faith doesn't remember a lot, all that concerns is the fellow, how honest he's, how he treats u, n how a lot he's conscious u! N remem, one undesirable christian guy wont make all christians undesirable even before being examined! similar is going for a muslim guy! N u must believe him if u actual pick to marry him! If ur no longer positive then both chop up or provide ur relationship some better time!

Answer 5

Nice pictures, but I don't think they take away from the facts that:

a) While most Muslims are not terrorists, it's a sad fact that most of the horrific acts of terrorism done these days are committed by Muslims

b) Countries where Islamic law is in place are generally very repressive, especially toward women and toward people who aren't Muslims

c) Muslim leaders are not doing enough to condemn and stop terrorism, and in many cases actually encourage it

d) Radical Muslims in the UK and elsewhere are calling for the imposition of sharia (Islamic law) in countries where most people are not Muslim

Islam has a lot of "image problems," to put it mildly, and a few cute pictures are not nearly enough to deal with these problems.

Answer 6

Probably because nice things aren't sensational enough for the media. Just imagine how their ratings would drop if they only showed nice things going on, like Christians and Muslims working together. Al Jazeera would probably never show something like that, and it would only get a footnote on the western news if any mention at all, sadly.

Answer 7

Some times they are blind and can't see the good ones. Who cares the world knows the best, and now ppl are well aware of what's media and what's goverment and what's warand finally the truth will win

Answer 8

they cant very well be an effective boogie man if we show them how they really are now can they? silly rabbit...We americans have to have some demon to be scared of or the whole system falls apart. the asians could kick our asses to oblivian, the europeans own us through international banking, and we all know how much luck we americans have fighting in the jungle..so it has to be the arabs...too bad, so sad, jesus hates you because your brown....I'm sorry, I meant to say Jesus's FOLLOWERS hate you because your brown...ironic considering that Jesus was in fact one of them brown folks himself. *shhhhh* dont tell a Xtian, they all think he's a white dude, you'l mess up their whole day

Answer 9

I would like to see Bin Ladin playing with the kids

Answer 10

Because they would not help continue the culture of fear which enables right wingers to control the show.
