Think about what you read in the papers and what you see on television. If you only paid attention to these things, what would your views be on religion?

Hello everyone!
Sadly I feel that if everyone just paid attention to the TV and newspapers they would think of Islam as a violent religion that condones evil and terrorism. This could not be more departed from the truth. I know that journalists need to sell papers and producers need to get viewers, but surely the truth is more important. Islam comes from the word 'salam' meaning peace. I don't see anything in the news about this. No, the media is certainly NOT helpful!!

I agree - I think the media is so commercial these days they have lost sight of the truth. As they look for the 'sensational' in everythingm they distort public perception about important issues like religion. If they took a step back they would see all people and things as sensational and just report what they see and talk about hard evidence. God's creation doesn't need 'sexing up.'

Newsapers need readers. If they didn't think we demanded the 'sensational' - they wouldn't supply it!

That's rubbish! They should be more responsible and report on the truth!
