Why is there so much negative propaganda being spread about Islam?

Answer 1

The spectre of communism has disappeared, so the government needs some other nefarious scapegoat to explain why it is we keep supporting dictators and undermining the independence of other nations- eureka! Make every one scared of Muslims! It's intended as a carte blanche so the government can pursue its foreign policy goals without having to really justify to the American people. Just say We're fighting the war on Terror. Why do we support Mubarak, a ruthless dictator in Egypt? Because he's holding back the tides of Muslim extremism. Why did we sit idly by while Israel bombed the **** out of Lebanon, a country we had friendly relations with? Because obviously they are going after that naughty Hizbollah, fighting terrorism for us.

Instead of asking "Why does our government engage in these types of relations?" we just ask "Why do they hate us?"

Answer 2

propaganda is a tool used in any war, propaganda is a tool used in everyday life.

propaganda is nor more than information, some true, some not true.

depending on where you are and who you communicate, propaganda is either positive or negative.

in muslim countries the negative propaganda would be all about the united states, , , and and here the negative propaganda should all be about the radical muslims.

dont get me started on that.

my guess, if you had the statistics you would find statement for statement there is more propaganda against the us than islam.

which is a pretty big word because islam is bigger than the us, and usually the biggest dog gets the most rocks thrown at it.

islam being a religion of sorts world wide and the us being a country with fixed borders and riddled with muslims.

there is no doubt there is more negative propaganda about the us.

if you are lucky, , , you wont be in the position to hear most of it.

(the opposing party always tries to contain the offending propaganda) (its only good business sense)

Answer 3

Mostly becaulse of the Sept. 11th attacks. Since they can't find Bin Laden, they have to blame it on someone.
Everything always feels better to the public when they can blame someone for horrible acts like that. One person is smart and thinks things through, but a mass of people are ignorant.
If you ask me there should be negative propaganda about Christianity if they are going to do it to Islam. For hundreds of years people have done horrible things to others "in the name of God, or it was God's will, or God spoke to me and told me that I had to"
But Muslims should think it could be worse, they still haven't had as bad as the Jews.

Answer 4

Negative but TRUTHFUL info is not propaganda.

Islam has many problems, some come directly out of the Prophets life, marrying a 6 year old girl and consumating the marriage when she is 9 and he is 53; some come from the Scriptures.

It is a crime for a muslem to criticize either the prophet or the scriptures in a muslem country.

Islam/ Arab culture is backward and stuck n the 7th century. They believe in all sorts of conspiracy theories to explain being stuck in the 7th century. Until they address their own problems they won't advance to be trusted members of 21 century.

Answer 5

As a non Muslim westerner i'm going to grant what i can. actual, i think of you have replied your own questions. "false impression", although, won't be the final be conscious to apply. top now the western media are actual including to the concept that Islam is risky in its severe kind,( in simple terms as any style of severe reeligious fundamentalism is "risky"). Islam is an extremely widespread faith with strict codes of habit as I comprehend it. All completely high-quality in an Islamic society. Unacceptable interior the West whilst religious ideals are at odds with community social norms. The concept is, that Muslims place their own "rules" above the regulation of the land, not that they are criminal ( some may be) , yet that they don't greater healthful nicely with western society. as an occasion, in Denmark , those days Muslim immigrants have been protesting because of the fact they felt forced to comply with Danish techniques, user-friendly answer could be to bypass away. interior the U. S. freedom to worship as one chooses is a top as long it would not infringe on the rights of others. one ingredient that Muslims could desire to understand is that nevertheless not proper, there's a equipped in point of religious tolerance interior the West. there may be religious adjustments here yet bloodshed over it quite is not an option. On that ingredient, I stay interior the huge apple area &thoughts have been working severe in 2001. there have been some remoted violent incidents,yet not one Mosque become burned there have been no suicide bombings interior the call of God. Says something with regard to the "infidels", does'nt it? what number Muslims kill different Muslims in Iraq in one day? Protestants do not kill Catholics the way Sunni kill Shia. to not say it did'nt ensue in eire the place it become greater of a political allignment of opposing faiths than something. shall we not forget the Inquisition or the crusades that have been ..... how some time past? If Muslims opt for to dispel misconceptions, why not attain out & say "that's what we are approximately. they could or won't like the reaction, yet a minimum of the attempt could have been made. no person will die in the event that they touch a non believer ,by utilising the way. top or incorrect, faith isn't as plenty a utilising rigidity in Western existence because it quite is interior the Muslim international. At some point, not many human beings interior the West care how yet another worships. So tolerance,even indifference can shield "misconceptions" faith is a private concern that could desire to be stored to ones self. that's one guy's opinion. Peace be to all human beings.
