    ISLAM AND MUSLIMS THROUGH THE LENS OF WESTERN MEDIA: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF TALK SHOWS OF CNN AND BBC (2012) by NOOR HAYAT Thesis submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy June 2016 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT First of all, all praise and thanks be to Allah Almighty, the guide to the straight path and from whom all blessings flow to help me to make it through the process of writing this thesis. I am indebted to many people who provided me much assistance during the extended period of writing this thesis. I would specifically like to express my heartfelt appreciation and gratitude to my main supervisor, the reliable and caring Dr. Juliana Abdul Wahab who has been a continual source of insights, ideas, support and guidance. I am really pleased to acknowledge the decent supervision with the valuable comments, suggestions, modifications and corrections I received from her. Her discerning ideas and wise advice encouraged me to attain countless improvements. Her input, criticisms, support and encouragement has been crucial to my understanding of the field of media and then to make this thesis possible, contributable and rewarding. I am also obliged to my Co-Supervisor Professor Dato' Dr. Adnan Hussein, who has been kind, supportive and encouraging. His trust in my abilities inspired the confidence that was crucial to develop a professional and reliable academic character. Yet, his contribution was not only inclusive to my academic profession; rather, it was extended in influencing my personality in a very profound way. From him I learnt how to be consistent and diligent and with him I felt the true meaning of sincerity and integrity.
