USATODAY.com – TV images skewing Americans’ view of peaceful Islam, Muslim leaders say:
American Muslim leaders say they are facing an increasingly tough public relations battle as they fight to portray their faith as non-violent.Some Muslims say conveying a peaceful image of Islam is tougher now than it was after the Sept. 11 attacks, and they blame a daily barrage of negative media images.
Of course. CNN was responsible for flying jets into the towers, FOX News handled the one that hit the Pentagon and Steven Spielberg killed Israeli athletes in Munich.
Anyone want to blame NPR for the bombs in Dar Es Salam, Nairobi, Beirut, Riyadh and the Cole in Yemen?
I won’t even start on rioting over the cartoons.
Muslims did that. If we don’t police our own, we have no right to complain about a media that talks about us in negative overtones.
And while we’re at it, what ‘Muslim leaders’? These ‘leaders’ sure as shit don’t speak for me.
