This petition was submitted during the 2010-2015 parliament
Rejected petition Stop bad publicity for Islam
More details
Muslims are negatively portrayed in the media and the Muslim community as a whole are being stereotyped because of how the media portray them. They are disrespected and degraded in the society and given a low status, due to some misconceptions the British media are making. Many people are aggravated by this matter and think there should be a further investigation looking into this problem; as some people might call it.
Furthermore, in an article from the BBC, it says that “Most Muslim coverage is negative”, this again shows that Islam is portrayed wrongly, continuing on with the article, it also said that the words that are associated with Muslims or Islam was “extremist”, “radicalism”, “suicide bombers” and “terrorist”. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/7495384.stm
Stop Islam being portrayed negatively in the media.
