Western media demonizing Muslims. (VIDEO)
Following the events of 9/11, Muslims have been continuously demonized throughout the media, be it print, broadcast or film.
In 2007, research commissioned by ex London Mayor, Ken Livingstone found Muslims are being demonized by British media with 91% of reports found being negative. Only 4% of 352 articles were positive.
While Western media continues with its subtle and at times, not-so-subtle Islamophobic tone, the public blames Muslims for this claiming Muslims refuse to integrate into society.
This week's Islam and Life asks: How can the image of Muslims be revived after years of demonization?
