religious bias in the media

[adam 7]

Do you think the media is bias for or against religion?

[adam 7]

I think the uk media shows a bias to anglican christianity, the more liberal elements and bias in favour of the monarchy. Its a subtle bias without being overt. The media has a strong bias against islam, with very one sided reporting against anyone against israel.

[adam 7]

Some establishment media like the bbc are accused of atheism. But i dont think thats the case. I think their hostility is more toward fundamentalism in all its forms, and support for gay rights and politically correct causes.

The UK media is heavily biased to all religions, they have laws and guidelines set up so religions cannot be offended by what they broadcast, but the religion they are most biased to (IMO) is Islam.

I honestly can't think of a single time that something bad has been said about that crappy religion (not individual Muslims, who are never real Muslims, but the religion) in the UK media. Even that programme they made about Muhammed a while ago portrayed him as the best thing since sliced bread, while completely ignoring his slaves, child brides, all the people he had murdered and his racist views about non-Muslims not being allowed in Mecca... It was almost as if Ciko had written it.

Child paedophile rings are swept under the carpet for them, racist attacks are reported as mere assaults if committed by a Muslim and if anyone ever says something to upset them then a grovelling apology is issued before anyone can utter the words Muhammed was a paedophile.

Selig, i disagree. I think the media is very two faced about islam. Notice the under reporting of the 10 year war in afghanistan.

And the complete media blackout of obama's terrorist drone war in pakistan. These drone planes have assassinated 1000s including 100s of children. But no one really knows cause its all top secret.

If anything we should be grateful that the backlash is so small

The bbc and history channel documentaries on religious figures like muhammed aqnd jesus present the non religious academic view and is intended to promote humanistic thinking

Isn't this how our media reports on all the wars we're involved in though? I don't see anything special in regard to their reporting (or lack of reporting) in Afghanistan or Pakistan. It's basically all propaganda and has been for donkeys years.

We're not at war with Islam either.

The BBC also takes the humanist view when it comes to reporting racist attacks by Muslims and Muslim paedophile rings in the news.

Oil and oil pipelines?

Also the opium poppies in Afghanistan. Not to mention that those countries have strategic importance, and many of them wouldn't play ball with the global financial system and transnational corporations. Like Libya (RIP, Libya and Colonel Gaddafi).

[adam 7]

And they are enemies of israel.

I read david icke headlines. Its one of the few places you can get told the truth.

Take syria. Uk and Us are fabricating the case for a bombing campaign in syria.

President assad didnt back the iraq war, and calls israel its enemy. He is a popular leader.

The western powers are giving weapons covertly to al quaida miltants in homs.

Im suprised to find so many here anti islam. When its clear to me anyway, that there is much more to this story than muslim bad guys

[adam 7]

Indeedy control of oil is a big factor for the western powers

I'm against all three of the Abrahamic religions. And I loathe Israel. I couldn't care less if it gets nuked off the face of the planet. I'm sick of Zionists forcing us to worship the idol of Israel "or else!", and sending billions of dollars of taxpayer funds over there, when we need them here. It's just another neocolonialist, racist state. It's basically a white Western satellite in the Middle East. I don't think it's meant to last very long, though.

If the UK is so anti-islam then why do we arm Islamic terror groups and use them to overthrown secular regimes? Groups such as the KLA in Yugoslavia and al Qaeda in Afghanistan, when they were fighting the Russians.

IMO the Muslims are NWO foot soldiers but they're simply too stupid to realise it.

Yes, of course. They also used al-Qaeda and other Islamist fanatics to destabilize and destroy Libya, which was a socialist state that kept the racist Muslim fanatics in check.

Quite simply the media is pro all religion (evolutionisim included) with the exception of the fundamentalist sides of the so called Abrahamic faiths.
If there is a one world religion comming then the 'all you need is love' luke warm Christians, Muslims and Jews are not gonna be a problem. The difficulty is with the people who really do take thier religions seriously which is hence why we are conditioned by the media to either hate them ( Fundamentalist Jews) fear them (Fundamentalist Muslims) or laugh at them (Fundamentalist Christians)
I don't want to get into the 'which one is correct discussion, however does anyone think the above is a fair analogy of what's going on today?

I don't need the media to tell me to dislike religious fundamentalists, for me to dislike them.
