Muslims and the British media

There is no doubt that the British Media are creating negative stereotypes of Muslims; they talk about terrorists but fail to mention that they are only tiny minority who don’t go according to the teaching of Islam as Islam is a religion of peace.

Part of the problem is that members of the press are not fully educated in the subtleties of the Islamic faith. The British Media needs to work with Imams to broadcast culturally sensitive and accurate news and programmes.

This kind of misrepresentation makes many of you angry, and I understand, but we must not meet anger with anger. If we retaliate to the man who burns down a mosque by burning down a church, how many more mosques will burn down, and how many more churches? We must not add wood to the fire.

Instead of looking at the problem we should look for the solution.

We must educate, educate, educate.

If someone is racist to you the answer is to try and educate him, by appealing to him and pinpointing the nature of misunderstanding.

It’s wasn’t the man that burn the mosque down, it was his ‘thinking.’ We must try and get the heart of the matter so that any issues can quickly be resolved.
