This is a breif overveiw on how islam is being represented in the media.

1. Ground Zero Mosque By Salma and Sufia :)

4. Islam is being represented as being a violent religion because Gellar states that in the last chapter of the Qur’an it says to kill non-Muslims and to conquer. This shows the ignorance of people as they fail to acknowledge the true and actual meaning ofthe Qur’an by being blinded by their own views and beliefs. I believe people fail to look at different perspectives of the argument. I don’t think they give a chance to look at the argument from another perspective – this maybe due to Islamic-phobia? Hitler being inspired by Islam – this backs the point about Islam being violent and cruel Gellar states that ‘being disrespectful is not going against the law and then again she goes on about stating that building an Islamic centre is not against the law but its disrespectful – contradicting herself. Then what is stopping people from building the Islamic centre??? She also talks about freewill?? That putting a picture of Muhammed (PBUH) with a pigs head is not being disrespectful because everyone has the freedom of speech??? Don’t Muslims have the freedom of religious practice? Or does she just have Islamic-phobia?
