MUSLIM STEREOTYPING BY WESTERN MEDIA

INTRODUCTION
This exploration equitably is discussing the negative developing relationship
between Arab Muslims and the western world especially after the world exchange
Center assault, Arab fear have been a piece of the western society. For a long time
the Arab has assumed the part of scalawag, enticer of our ladies, hawker and thief the
brute holding up at the doors of improvement.
Presently in the twentieth century, Arab as seen as terrorists, killers and adversaries
because of how media presents them, new pictures has been developed to the entire
world on account of Hollywood movie producers, this study likewise plans to
uncover reality picture of the Arab Muslim world and to demonstrate the
unjustifiable state of mind against Arab and Muslims made by the media that was not
watchful to seem unbiased and unprejudiced.
BODY
Due to the constant misinterpretation of Arabs and Muslims in the western media,
most American subjects are prepared to accept the inclined reporting that leaves their
TV screens and received this hypothesis that all Arabs/Muslims are terrorists. The
truth is that the media has formed a few generalizations about Arabs/Muslims and
since larger part of the Western open have no extra sources to depend on, they fall
into this state of obliviousness prepared to accept the bias names of "fanatic" or
"terrorist" given to Arabs and Muslims. After the 9/11 attacks, the situation in west
was totally changed for Muslims and western media started showing them culprits
and terrorists without prior investigation. As a result of this prejudiced campaign,
image of Muslim world completely changed over the night.
A negative representation of Arabs/Muslims is getting to be more intuitive in
Western culture from inaccurate media reporting. The media helps to make a certain
picture of Arabs to blameless groups of onlookers. The American culture is regularly
deluding about Arabs/Muslims through the "pictures on TV, films, magazines, radios,
and funny cartoons in daily papers, which energize skeptical messages amongst their
gatherings of people"1. The media Western columnists regularly say that Muslims are
terrorists.

The relationship between the West and Arab Muslims had a few inconsistencies and
writhing in the last few years through media, and these were demonstrated as
discharges after the unbending nature and dreariness. 2 Reel Bad Arabs explained that
Arab Muslims and Western individuals fear and stress to one another originated from
their unawareness of one another. Muslims are generally declared as savage and
fond of wars by prejudiced western media.
Hollywood assumed a vital part in twisting Arab and Muslims and disfiguring their
picture disregarding the Secretariat of media. Hollywood delivered a considerable
measure of films after 9/11 assaults discussing Arab and Muslims grisly pattern.
Shaheen has reported and talked about for all the intents and purpose each peculiarity
that Hollywood has ever constructed more than 900 movies, the larger part of which
depicts Arabs by misshaping every step of the way what most Arab men, ladies, and
youngsters are truly like.
Everywhere throughout the world, Arab Muslims voyagers are feeling awful with the
opposition to terrorists efforts to establish safety that dependably make them feel
uncomfortable.3 Farag verified a case of these rough visually impaired activities
towards Muslims, Tariq Ali is simply an undeniable British national and a figure of
the British left likewise, who was in Germany for a course, was detained by the air
terminal security as he was returning to England they found in his pack a German
distributed duplicate of an article of Karl Marx On suicide which stressed the
German air terminal representatives that made one of them reported Ali as terrorist.
CONCLUSION AND DISCUSSION
I acknowledge our overall population is centered on the shallow things, which we
organize people because of the exercises of a little rate. The larger parts of the above
declarations are inclined contemplations used to portray parts of a social or an ethnic
get-together, and are called generalizations. Unfortunately, generalizations
antagonistically impact our ability to grasp parts of an interchange social affair or
ethnicity, and are we regularly impenetrable to change because of them. We
generalization distinctive social events of people, yet none like African American
men and different ethnic get-togethers in our country. Media in some Western nations
control the brains totally, they changed the genuine picture of Islam and
generalizations Muslims and Arabs as terrorists who may blast at any minute, this
picture made some western individuals to treat Arab and Muslims in an awful
manner, even off and on again Arab understudies are casted out from schools and
universities in a terrorist form inside the skeleton of irrational judgment.

I do suggest a few ways to stop these generalizations and to attempt show to the
distinctive truth about them and to verification that the majority of the western media
is not reasonable, they ought to utilize the same weapon to safeguards themselves,
and thus, media is the most ideal way and powerful results.
Some of Arabic movies and media creations begin to manage these generalizations in
an entertaining manner yet in the most recent years they demonstrated the
unreasonable pictures of Muslims as a plainly obvious issue.
These recommendations are thought to be compelling and it will change the Muslims
and Arab false pictures made by the western media and it will evacuate any stresses
or reasons for alarm towards Arab.
It was perceived in the recent years that western media has changed the genuine
picture of Islam and generalizations Muslims and Arabs as terrorists, this picture
made some western individuals to treat Arab and Muslims in an awful manner, there
were a few proposals to face these generalizations by creating high plan movies and
by boycotting a portion of the western media materials.
