Why the Media people (News reporters & journalists) used muslim* tag for criminals whose religion is Islam?

Question

And these same Media people,news reporters did not used or mentioned these pre-text religions in making news reporting like Catholic criminals, Budhists criminals, Jewish criminals or Protestant criminals when making the whole story so that no biases for all religions?

This is irony in the field of mass media in helping or making muslim more popular religion of all.

Answer 1

If Islam is the best religion, why are many of the Muslims dishonest, unreliable, and involved in activities such as cheating, bribing, dealing in drugs, etc.?

Answer:


1. Media maligns Islam


Islam is without doubt the best religion but the media is in the hands of the westerners who are afraid of Islam. The media is continuously broadcasting and printing information against Islam. They either provide misinformation about Islam, misquote Islam or project a point out of proportion, if any.

When any bomb blasts take place anywhere, the first people to be accused without proof are invariably the Muslims. This appears as headlines in the news. Later, when they find that non-Muslims were responsible, it appears as an insignificant news’ item.

If a 50 year old Muslim marries a 15 year old girl after taking her permission, it appears on the front page but when a 50 year old non-Muslim rapes a 6 year old girl, it may appear in the news in the inside pages as ‘Newsbriefs’. Everyday in America on an average 2,713 cases of rape take place but it doesn’t appear in the news, since it has become a way of life for the Americans.

2. Black sheep in every community:


I am aware that there are some Muslims who are dishonest, unreliable, who cheat, etc. but the media projects this as though only Muslims are involved in such activities. There are black sheep in every community. I know Muslims who are alcoholics and who can drink most of the non-Muslims under the table.


3. Muslims best as a whole:


Inspite of all the black sheep in the Muslim community, Muslims taken on the whole, yet form the best community in the world. We are the biggest community of tee-totallers as a whole, i.e. those who don’t imbibe alcohol. Collectively, we are a community which gives the maximum charity in the world. There is not a single person in the world who can even show a candle to the Muslims where modesty is concerned; where sobriety is concerned; where human values and ethics are concerned.


4. Don’t judge a car by its driver:


If you want to judge how good is the latest model of the "Mercedes" car and a person who does not know how to drive sits at the steering wheel and bangs up the car, who will you blame? The car or the driver? But naturally, the driver. To analyze how good the car is, a person should not look at the driver but see the ability and features of the car. How fast is it, what is its average fuel consumption, what are the safety measures, etc. Even if I agree for the sake of argument that the Muslims are bad, we can’t judge Islam by its followers? If you want to judge how good Islam is then judge it according to its authentic sources, i.e. the Glorious Qur’an and the Sahih Hadith.


5. Judge Islam by its best follower i.e. Prophet Mohammed (pbuh):


If you practically want to check how good a car is put an expert driver behind the steering wheel. Similarly the best and the most exemplary follower of Islam by whom you can check how good Islam is, is the last and final messenger of God, Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). Besides Muslims, there are several honest and unbiased non-Muslim historians who have acclaimed that prophet Muhammad was the best human being. According to Michael H. Hart who wrote the book, ‘The Hundred Most Influential Men in History’, the topmost position, i.e. the number one position goes to the beloved prophet of Islam, Muhammad (pbuh). There are several such examples of non-Muslims paying great tributes to the prophet, like Thomas Carlyle, La-Martine, etc.

Answer 2

Good question. I think of it as propaganda. It's working, just look at the morons who storm Yahoo!Answers generalizing about 1.5 billion people because of stuff a few thousand criminals do. It's easier to justify wars when you depict an entire nation/race/religion as evil.

Answer 3

Because muslim criminals do what they do in the name if Islam. Islam is and evil doctrine for the weak minded. Study it for yourself and there can be no other conclusion. 1400 years of terror is enough. Islam should be internationally outlawed.

Answer 4

the problem is that media is in the hands of a chosen few whose aim is to further the rhetoric of islam as terrorism but at the same time i cannot hold my self in not saying that arrogant and fanatic muslims add fuel to the fire.

Answer 5

Because they are working with the government to create hatred towards Muslims.
