Islamophobia and the Ethics of Media: A Cross-Cultural Study
The paper seeks to understand how media in the globalising
world has contributed to the creation, advocacy as well as
reactions to Islamophobic sentiments, resulting cultural
boundaries and stereotypes across the world. Functionally,
Islamophobia is a shorthand term referring to the “dread or
hatred of Islam” and therefore a “fear and dislike of Muslims”.
The paper systematically reveals how “Islamophobia” which is
itself an irrational attitude, is socially constructed with the aid of
the media. While on one hand the media erects the supporting
walls of Islamophobia, on the other, it also provides a platform
for its criticism and reactions. The paper also sheds light on
how media representations of terror attacks serves in
“educating” populations of different countries and in creating a
“global” sentiment. Yet, such a global sentiment, as the paper
shall reveal, does not integrate the cultures; rather it widens the
gap. However, if media persons instead choose to take up the
issue as a moral responsibility, they can even bridge this gap
and help in applying a curative balm on the global sentiment.
