| 'Muslims under attack from western media' | |
| 2008-01-05 | |
| The western media is projecting Muslims in a negative way, said former Punjab University Mass Communication Department chairperson Prof Dr Miskeen Ali Hijazi said. According to a press release issued by Government College University (GCU) Lahore on Thursday, speaking at a shield awarding ceremony of the Young Journalists Society, he said that many expansions in media have taken place over the last thirty to forty years.
GCU Dean of Languages, Islamic and Oriental Learning, Prof Dr Sohail Ahmed Khan argued that it was the age of information and that one could not escape the influence of the media. He said the GCU would soon elevate mass communication studies up to masterÂ’s level. The In charge of the Young Journalists Society of GCU Prof Muhammad Iqbal Anjum thanked Prof Dr Miskeen Ali Hijazi for gracing the event with his thought provoking lecture to the young students of GCU. | |

| #19 "The western media is projecting Muslims in a negative way" No...the western media is going out of its way to excuse or overlook the Neanderthal actions of muslim states (Iran, SA, Syria, Sudan, Somalia, etc.) and the Neanderthal muslims themselves (Philippines, Thailand, Gaza, Lebanon, Iraq, Pakistan, France, Netherlands, etc.). And I apologize to Neanderthals who are offended being compared to muslims. |

| #18 "the western media, after the collapse of USSR, targeted the Muslims" It's a pity that somebody like Jimmy Carter didn't start targeting them in Iran in 1979. That may have had some major effects on the Iran/Iraq war, Saddam's invasion of Kuwait, and numerous events of terrorism. [Reagan certainly made an impact on Libya in 1986.] Tally up the deaths, though, and I think you'll find that most of them are Muslims dead at the hands of Muslims. Now don't get me wrong -- I know some very nice Muslims. But there are a lot of not-nice Muslims that need some targeting. |

| #14 I only wish. The media does all it can to whitewash or ignore Islam aggression and intolerance. It is ironic that the very people in the west that give Islam a pass and try to cover up their barbarianism would be the first to be killed under an Islam ruled state. |

| #12 "The western media is projecting Muslims in a negative way" (but not a false way...) This is like saying "The western media is projecting Terrorism in a negative way". |

| #11 The western media is projecting Muslims in a negative way, said former Punjab University Mass Communication Department chairperson Prof Dr Miskeen Ali Hijazi said. I see mass com profs have the same pro-muslim bias in Pakistan as they do here. So, a "chairperson". There are enough female department heads in Pakistan to go gender neutral on this douchebag's title? |

| #10 The western media is projecting Muslims in a negative way Start condemning terrorist behavior in a meaningful way and it will go away. |

| #8 I'm pretty sure Islam attacked the media first when the started sawing the heads off of live fucking journalists. |

| #7 The Muslims would have a better press if the fathers would stop killing their female children. Child sacrifice is an ancient evil that is back in the name of honor killings. An ancient evil is back. |

| #6 YOU Moslem's are bad press because of your Idol worship and bombings around the whole world daily. Shut up. |

| #5 Under attack? Our media refuses to report Islamic hate and aggression. In the case of Koranic prescribed beatings, these are explained away as an alleged aspect of male violence against women. |

| #2 Sounds more like the Islamics are afraid the media is reporting at least part of their koranic animal actions. Nothing like the light of cameras to send scum scampering. To bad CAIR doesn't feel the same way. |

| #1 "The western media is projecting Muslims in a negative way" But not nearly as negative as it would be if they just reported the news without their pro-Islam bias. |
