Wars take place in many forms and using various methods.
One of them is the use of propaganda by the media.
The use of sound bytes, images that cause insult to a particular group of people or religion is one form of propaganda used to turn one group of people against another. This is used in different places and times to gain the support of the people for "certain" actions like wars and other types of oppression that governments wish to take.
It is well known that Muslims are portrayed negatively in the media.
The baddies always seem to have a beard of some kind and mostly always look like they are of Arab descent. They are also often dressed wearing long robes like Muslims do.
This subconsciously creates a negative perception in the minds of the people towards Muslims which can affect the way they interact with people of Arab background and Muslim faith.
Hollywood and even the UK film industry is getting bolder and bolder day by day in the way they portray Islam in their films for e.g.
United 93 - In this film they re-create the scenes in final moments of the planes that flew into the twin towers. The bombers here are portrayed as Arabs even though no one saw any of these men nor was there any CCTV footage shown of them. There has been plenty of evidence put forth by non Muslim experts in architecture and other fields of study to prove that those buildings could not have been taken down by those planes.
Besides that there were many other clues that the media had advanced knowledge of the attack when they are shown talking about buildings coming down before they even came down etc. I am amazed at how they were allowed to re-create a situation where no one actually saw the bombers and there is no conclusive evidence to prove it was Muslims who did it. Films like these send a message to the public that it was Muslims who carried out these attacks and this creates a negative perception towards Muslims. In fact many Muslims were harmed after this attack in revenge for what happened even though no clear evidence was produced to prove it was Muslims who did it.
On the contrary there is clear evidence publicly available to prove it was done by the Israeli extremists "Mossad" but no one has taken them to task for it.
Lord of The Rings 3 - In the final battle the enemy side is shown as having archers on the backs of elephants. These archers are wearing the face veil. Co-incidence? What kind of effect would this have on women wearing the face veil?
World War Z - In this film the world is taken over by zombies that have been infected by a virus. Guess who the zombies are? Wait for it... They're none other than a people who have already been afflicted with oppression for the last 50+ years. To add insult to injury Hollywood portrays the Palestinian people as zombies who have been infected by a type of virus and they are shown climbing over each other to escape climb over the high wall barrier that they have been imprisoned in for the last who knows how many years.
Seventh Son - A bunch of guys are trying to save the world from witches. Guess who the witches are? out of all the people in the world they could have chosen, the witches are portrayed as Muslim women. The main witch is shown in a mosque like building, chanting spells.
True Guns - Denzel Washington is stopped by the border agency to check his passport. He's told he needs to check his ID "just to make sure he's not a Muslim". Then Denzel Washington pulls out a gun and says, "Assalaamu alaykum"
I guess some people might think these are all co-incidences.
Others might interpret them as part of a strategy to turn the masses of people against Muslims and the religion of Islam.
Whatever view you take please remember that the Film industry as a whole (largely controlled by Jewish financers) are getting bolder and bolder day by day in their portrayal of Muslims. Jewish extremists spend all their wealth and efforts to turn the world against Muslims on every level they can. This enmity has been there since Prophet Muhammad, an Arab, was given the final Prophethood instead of one of their leaders.
I am amazed at how the film industry are allowed to portray Muslims in such negative ways and no one says a thing about it. If Muslims made films about Christians or Jews in a similar fashion I am sure that there would be an uproar about it all over the Western World. So why should we stand for this negative portrayal of Muslims?
