the whole world now has a fobia of islam without carfull reading or deep learning exactly what is Islam calls for.
We should not follow the media or the polititions who both have their own agenda which is not the agenda of the world majority.

Answer 1

There has been a trend over the last decade or so of people relying less and less on the print media, and there is another even older trend of television viewers switching from the traditional network broadcasts to the cable networks for news.

The first trend has a lot of causes, among them the rise of bloggers, the fact that you can get news much faster at google and yahoo than you can waiting for the morning paper, and the fact that the print media is so obviously biased and lacks objectivity.

(The third reason is cited the most often, but it's obviously not the only one, since bloggers are often even more biased. The good news is that you can get the points of view you want, from idealistic either right or left, or you can get objective and informative news if you find the right sites.)

The second trend likely began in the fall of 1990 when CNN began broadcasting 24-hour news coverage of the buildup of troops in Saudi Arabia for the assault on Kuwait. The event was momentous enough to draw attention, and no other network was set up to cover the stories in the same way.

The problem of objectivity at CNN is likely the best reason why Fox news is now easily beating them in the Nielsen ratings.

So to answer your question, at least in America, people have been growing more and more skeptical of information sources for a long time, and it's only a matter of laziness that we don't do our own research.

For my own part, primary sources of information are so easy to find that I don't rely on the news at all except to tell me what to look for (and for entertainment). Frankly, some of my sources are better than theirs.

You may have nothing better to do then to sit back and try to examine every group you come in contact with. However most people don't have the time or desire!
With working, and spending time with a family / girlfriend / partner / whatever, & sleeping it doesn't leave much time for BS like you are talking!

The media is there to make it quick and easy for us to get the news of our world! Sure they have an agenda but so does everyone else! That is why you must THINK FOR YOURSELF! Just because someone says it doesn't mean you must accept it!

Answer 3

The asker is obviously a lackey for the quack treatment. there is not any regularly occurring treatment for many cancers, and there by no potential could be. seem, i understand what i'm conversing approximately. For one element, I even have stepped forward bone marrow maximum cancers. for yet another element, i'm a school professor. All this communicate a pair of "maximum cancers treatment" is a fantasy--this is organic bunk. human beings like Brunetti prey on desperate people who will try any therapy, stumble on any determination drugs (no count how absurd) with a view to get some wish. some maximum cancers sufferers bypass into remission for NO wide-unfold reason. It would not advise that the "hyperimmune milk" or magnetic bracelets or bovine stem cells etc. etc. furnish any healing income. seem, technological know-how and medicines are imperfect, yet there are not to any extent further desirable selections! do no longer positioned your faith in organic remedies, so-stated as miracle remedies, "magnetic fields", or faith healing. Get knowledgeable! Use your innovations! life is basically too short to waste some time (and money) on snake-oil and charlatans.

Answer 4

You are correct in that many, especially in anonymous forums like this one, have not taken the time to carefully and formally study theology, Hebrew, Greek, apologetics, hermeneutics, soteriology, eschatology and more.

Having done so for 30+ years, I can tell you that Islam is a doctrine of hate, not love. It is a doctrine of a man, not God, and lots of loosely connected hadith (oral traditions). It's underlying scriptures are not inspired by God and its prophet was not divine.

If you have the courage to read and understand your own faith, you will soon see it for what it is. A non-orthodox heresy.

Answer 5

The threat of islam to me is well placed I think. I have read enough quotes from the quran to see for myself. Seriously speaking, look at the people that are strictly following the quran, they are mean. But my conviction is that any religion that condones killing a group of people or even their own if they leave their faith is seriously flaud.

Answer 6

Oh I don't know the media pretty well give people what they want to hear how else can they keep their audience. You seldom hear the media deliberately lie about the news. They cant cover it all as much as they try to leave out what you don't want to hear some gets in anyway.

Answer 7

Yes, people should get their info from the media.

Answer 8

Is there a such thing as an unbiased source to get knowledge..?
