Become known to all, the terrorism doesn't have religion . the terrorism Is the political ideas targets some countries .
On my arrival at America, I took a taxi. when the driver know that I am Saudi, he said me wwoww" Saudi Arabia in the many of the terrorists" . I tried to explain to him and I wanted to clarify his confusion between Islam and terrorism but he didn't want to hear except that Islam is terrorism .
I think ,he took this idea from (.Mass media ) was the reason for that ideas . the media's role was in the great confusion between Islam and terrorism
Media was dominant and in control of the views of many people and guide them in the direction some time Is incorrect
And in the end ... I want say that the media creates a false emotional situations sometimes ... especially in humans of ordinary people who don't have deep idea
thank you
very appropiet you post, for this moment of remembrance and memories for the world.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your message.
Jameelh, Thank you so much for sharing your perceptions of how so many ideas were formed post-9/11. Mass media played an extremely powerful role in developing stereotypes, misperceptions and fear following the attacks. And with the power of instantaneous electronic communication that we now live with, these fears and ideas spread "like wildfire."
