The Western media is generally found to be painting Islam and Muslims as a global threat and danger for the world peace. It has launched an unethical smear campaign against Islam and Muslims, which is becoming intense by the day and from the standpoint of the Western media audience such an unfair portrayal of Islam is likely to be highly Islamophobic and conflictual. To monitor and catalogue the ever-increasing frequency of the Western media’s negative packaging of Islam and Muslims, the Centre for Research on Islam and Global Media (CRIGM) collects within two covers the news stories and leading articles carried in the Western press every month. The articles are culled based on the known indicators of Islamophobia. and found abundant negative contents, highlighted, and published them in a bound form. CRIGM is not only observing western media on issues concerning Islam and Muslim societies but has an eye out for the entire array of the Western media including the electronic, broadcast, online and the social media as well. Shortly, we shall start publishing separate medium-specific reports as well. Page | 5 Editorial Page | 6 Introduction Department of Media and Communication Studies (DMCS) of International Islamic University Islamabad (IIUI), Pakistan, under its Centre for Research on Islam and Global Media (CRIGM) publishes a monthly report on western media’s negative framing of Islam and Muslims under the title “Islam and Muslims in the Global Media”. The present compendium in hand is 6th edition ‘June 2017’. Islamophobia industry with the help of media is actively proliferating hate among the western nation. It is widening the differences among the religions, races and minorities which were very close to each other in their teachings in the recent past. Historical rise in islamophobia has legitimated hate crimes against Muslims such as burning the worship places (Mosques), snatching the hijabs, throwing the animals dead bodies in the holly places, wall chalking aganist Islam and Muslims, Killing the innocent and peaceful citizens, stereotyping the men having beard as terrorists, stabbing the students, acid attacks on innocent Muslim girls, hitting the cars to Muslim worshippers and blowing up the houses of Muslims, have become very common in the western societies. The situation has gone so intense that Muslims are trying to hide themselves under some precautions for their survival, even in the countries of human rights protection act’s stakeholders. The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) issued an alert to all mosques and Islamic organizations nationwide, warning them to be vigilant after incidents of violence against Muslims in recent weeks and a year punctuated by an increase in anti-Muslim hate crimes, hate incidents and rhetoric. CAIR- LA has also issued a similar alert for all mosques in Southern California, said executive director Hussam Ayloush. "We're asking mosque administrators to make sure the areas are well-lit and there's adequate security available," Ayloush also is asking Muslims not to engage with people who target them through hate speech. "Don't respond to racial slurs because you don't know the state of mind of that person," he said. "The best thing to do is to ignore. If you feel unsafe, call the police and move to a safe place immediately." Two recent incidents - the murder of 17-year-old Nabra Hassanen of Reston, Va., who was killed after leaving her mosque Sunday morning, and an incident outside a mosque in Finsbury Park, London, where a man plowed a rented van into worshipers, leaving one dead and nine others injured - have left American Muslims shaken." It has been told everyone to be alert and have especially warned girls and women wearing hijabs not to walk by themselves," "It's unfortunate that Muslims have to do this, but these are precautions we have to take under current circumstances." Muslim communities have been calling for increased action to tackle the growth in hate crime for many years and transformative action must now be taken to tackle not only this incident but the hugely worrying growth in Islamophobia. Recent reports state that more than 100 mosques have been targeted and attacked in the UK since 2013, that anti-Muslim hate crimes increased by 500 per cent since the Manchester Arena bombing in May, that since the London Bridge attacks in June, authorities have received 50 reports a day Over the past weeks and months, Muslims have endured many incidents of Islamophobia and this is the most violent manifestation to date. Page | 7 The present compendium of June 2017 consists of the media discourses circulated across the world after President Donald Trump issued an executive order largely fulfilling the banning of seven Muslim-Majority countries (Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen) entering the United States and then second version of an executive order excluding Iraq from the list. Now the President’s executive order have got a legal form with little modification and adding the ‘Bona Fied’ relationship’s article. CRIGM has also published many stories from the European and Australian newspapers as anti-Islam and Muslims. The beginning of the new year 2017, remained potentially Islamophobic around the western world. That is why the compendium documents variety of media reports and leading articles and highlights the polemical approaches and negativities by highlighting and making them appear as bold. These identified media reports and opinion pieces have been retrieved using LexisNexis and websites of various news organizations for the month of June 2017. The search (key) words were Islam and Muslims and media from United States & North America, Europe & United Kingdom and Australia & New Zealand were selected for data retrieval. A total of over 4500 pages of news reports and leading articles from print media were retrieved in the search on our given key words. Out of them, some of the reports are made part of this compendium as being highly negative in nature. The reports with minor tendency of negativity towards Muslims and Islam were excluded to avoid this compendium becoming huge enough to handle. A summary analysis of media negativities has been made to provide a glimpse of how media have been treating Islam and Muslims in their reports and leading articles. For this initiative and other associated tasks, the Centre is highly indebted to Professor Dr. Suliman Abdullah Aba Al-Khail, Pro-Chancellor IIUI and the Rector Al-Imam Muhammad Ibn Saud Islamic University, Riyadh, KSA; Professor Dr. Masoom Yasinzai, Rector IIUI and Professor Dr. Ahmed Yousif Ahmed Al-Draiweesh for their relentless support and guidance and making this initiative possible.

Gruber i Abstract The main objective of this thesis is to contribute to a more systematic understanding of how mainstream news media in liberal democracies report about protests. Existing research indicates that when mainstream news media report about demonstrations, protesters often face delegitimising coverage. This phenomenon, known as the “(jour- nalistic) protest paradigm”, is thought to be a default mindset that leads journalists to emphasize the method of protesters over their message — restricting the impact of one of few tools citizens have to raise important issues.

  • Facebook As a Reflection of Race- and Gender-Based Narratives Following the Death of George Floyd
    social sciences $€ £ ¥ Article Exceptional Injustice: Facebook as a Reflection of Race- and Gender-Based Narratives Following the Death of George Floyd Patricia J Dixon and Lauren Dundes * Department of Sociology, McDaniel College, 2 College Hill, Westminster, MD 21157, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 16 November 2020; Accepted: 8 December 2020; Published: 15 December 2020 Abstract: Following the death of George Floyd, Facebook posts about the Black Lives Matter movement (BLM) surged, creating the opportunity to examine reactions by race and sex. This study employed a two-part mixed methods approach beginning with an analysis of posts from a single college student’s Facebook newsfeed over a 12-week period, commencing on the date of George Floyd’s death (25 May 2020). A triangulation protocol enhanced exploratory observational–archival Facebook posts with qualitative data from 24 Black and White college students queried about their views of BLM and policing. The Facebook data revealed that White males, who were the least active in posting about BLM, were most likely to criticize BLM protests. They also believed incidents of police brutality were exceptions that tainted an otherwise commendable profession. In contrast, Black individuals commonly saw the case of George Floyd as consistent with a longstanding pattern of injustice that takes an emotional toll, and as an egregious exemplification of racism that calls for indictment of the status quo. The exploratory data in this article also illustrate how even for a cause célèbre, attention on Facebook ebbs over time. This phenomenon obscures the urgency of effecting change, especially for persons whose understanding of racism is influenced by its coverage on social media.

(AP) — A Kentucky grand jury brought no charges against Louisville police for the killing of Breonna Tay- lor during a drug raid gone wrong, with prosecutors saying Wednesday two of- ficers who fired their weap- ons at the Black woman were justified in using force to protect themselves. The grand jury instead charged fired Officer Brett Hankison with three counts of wanton endangerment for firing into Taylor's neigh- bors' homes during the raid on the night of March 13. The FBI is still investigating potential violations of fed- eral law in the case. Along with the killing of George Floyd in Minneso- ta, Taylor's case became a major touchstone for the nationwide protests that have gripped the nation since May — drawing at- tention to entrenched rac- “OUTRAGEOUS AND OFFENSIVE” ism and demanding police reform.

  • Blue Lives Matter
    COP FRAGILITY AND BLUE LIVES MATTER Frank Rudy Cooper* There is a new police criticism. Numerous high-profile police killings of unarmed blacks between 2012–2016 sparked the movements that came to be known as Black Lives Matter, #SayHerName, and so on. That criticism merges race-based activism with intersectional concerns about violence against women, including trans women. There is also a new police resistance to criticism. It fits within the tradition of the “Blue Wall of Silence,” but also includes a new pro-police movement known as Blue Lives Matter. The Blue Lives Matter movement makes the dubious claim that there is a war on police and counter attacks by calling for making assaults on police hate crimes akin to those address- ing attacks on historically oppressed groups. Legal scholarship has not comprehensively considered the impact of the new police criticism on the police. It is especially remiss in attending to the implications of Blue Lives Matter as police resistance to criticism. This Article is the first to do so. This Article illuminates a heretofore unrecognized source of police resistance to criticism by utilizing diversity trainer and New York Times best-selling author Robin DiAngelo’s recent theory of white fragility. “White fragility” captures many whites’ reluctance to discuss ongoing rac- ism, or even that whiteness creates a distinct set of experiences and per- spectives. White fragility is based on two myths: the ideas that one could be an unraced and purely neutral individual—false objectivity—and that only evil people perpetuate racial subordination—bad intent theory. Cop fragility is an analogous oversensitivity to criticism that blocks necessary conversations about race and policing.
