muslims ‘victims’ of media attention
I know you are all thinking this is yet another muslims are crying again story but this time the minions have a point. Muslims are victims of the media. Increasingly news of islam is arriving before the minions. This messes up generations of apologists, counter historians and propagandists. We are very familiar with their modern counter parts. You have seen them around here. They can not find a single positive feature of islam to discuss so they fall back on attempts to intimidate, threaten and childish verbal attacks.
The shear fact they try it at all validates our perception of them.
Rome, 12 May(AKI) – An international conference on multicultural relations has heard how Muslims suffer from discrimination and poor media perceptions about Islam.
-Notice, there was no problem with the muslims rants about other cultures, religious or groups. I have no problem with the muslim victim mantra but it is islam that victimizes them.
The US state department’s senior advisor to European and Eurasian Affairs, Farah Pandith, said Muslims suffered from a “victimisation mentality” and the media needed to play a more positive role.
-First lets clear something up. After years of blogging I have still not figured out what government the US state department works for. That said, why they care about islams image is laughable when you consider no islamic country comes close to upholding US values. Islam has been proven a failure not by the west but by muslims themselves.
She said there were “rants, and too many opinions, telling us what is wrong.”
-Wrong like-honor killings, pedophilia, terrorism and racism or just the non violent things like passport forgery, immigration and credit card fraud?
She was speaking at a conference on ethnic communication at the Center of American Studies in Rome.
Amanullah Shahed, director of the US-based news site AltMuslim.com and founder of a web media network called Halalfire Media, told the audience about the demonisation and misinterpretation of Muslims and Islam in American media.
-Well I do what I can to correct the false image of islam but I can only do so much.
Shahed criticised what he called “disorganisation of Muslims” in the US and in Europe and gave suggestions on how to overcome what he called media ‘traps’. He also said Italy could lead the way.
-I think what she was looking for was: increasing islamic awareness by infidels threaten the global jihad.
“Italy is the meeting point for the world’s two largest religions; what happens here will affect other European Muslim communities,” he said.
-True, the day of reckoning is coming and europe will be the battleground.
“This is the land of Oriana Fallaci and Magdi Allam, it is very difficult to be Muslim in Europe,” said Shahed, referring to Italian journalist Fallaci who was critical of Islam and has been accused of Islamophobia and racism.
-I am glad to see it is hard to be a muslim in europe and she was right to praise the heroic voices for truth.
Magdi Allam was baptised by Pope Benedict XVI in a highly-publicised ceremony at the Vatican during Easter festivities in Rome in March.
-You have to admit that was a masterful stunt almost approaching the type of crap muslims themselves pull on a daily basis.
His conversion provoked an angry response from Muslim clerics and academics in Italy and the Middle East.
-must be that famous islamic tolerance of other religions we hear so much about.
Regarding other ethnic groups such as Jews, Shahed stressed that there was a need for increased cooperation, but said political differences made it difficult to reach out to the community.
-Yeah, that whole muslims are going to eliminate Israel crap really makes it hard for them to trust you.
“There is a lot to learn, the Jewish media has been in the US for over 100 years, we must learn from the struggles they went through.” said Shahed in an interview with Adnkronos International (AKI).
–Find away to paint the pedophile king in an acceptable light and you are half-way there.
“Muslim media is at such an embryonic level. We definitely follow their lead.”
-Lol, I would have loved to have seen her face when she realized she was quoted admitting the Israelis were superior to minions.
Shahed, who has spearheaded the development of Muslim media in the US, says too often the media presents an erroneous view of Islam and there is potential for change.
-She nailed it, islam has plenty of room for change. Now that the 21st century is going strong islam should reach for the 8th.
“There needs to be a lot more cooperation. I am trying to reach out to that media, but due to political issues, its difficult sometimes,” he told AKI.
-She means we are onto them.
“In the areas of integration, there is a lot of sympathy. There are a lot of areas where we can work together.”
-Rewriting history, covering up the correct meanings of words like jihad?
Sandip Roy, editor of an ethnic news website, New America Media, said multicultural media was moving from a niche market to more mainstream, in the US.
-Uh huh, prove it. I know of no successful islamic news stations, especially in English.
“Ethnic media is suffering a time lag, many of them are reinventing themselves and starting to cover the local news more and more, and that is the case in Italy and other countries,” Roy told Adnkronos International (AKI).
-lol, they are forced to change or they will lose even more viewers and risk collapse.
Roy, whose website is based in San Francisco, has a diverse news site dedicated to providing news to various ethnic groups including Hispanic, Arab, Asian and African Americans.
-Oh, hell we have done that for years.
