New Delhi: The situation arising out of 9/11 all over the world and the
cir***stances that
Muslims are undergoing are extremely worrisome, said Liaqat Husain, senior
editor, Arab News,
an English daily published from Saudi Arab.
The picture of Muslims that western media is depicting clearly
communicates only this message
that Islam and Muslims are abominable things, said Husain who was
addressing an intellectual
gathering called by the Institute of Objective Studies (IOS) on 11th
April. The topic of the
program was ‘Islam in Media.’
Husain said international media is committing excesses against Islam as it
is under the control
of Zionists, as a result of which any published news relating to Islam
convey some negative
message regarding Islam. However, there is also one advantage of this
bias: unbiased people are
getting attracted toward understanding Islam, he continued.
Husain said the greatest responsibility in newspapers or TV channels falls
on script writers
and editors who add ‘extremist’ or ‘terrorist’ with the names of Muslim
organizations while
re-writing the re****ts coming to their desk.
