War on Islam?
Qahir Al-Ashrar
The problem is that most of the people sitting outside the Muslims world do
not have access to the real information about Muslims countries either in
the Middle East or outside it. They do not have access to marginalized or
some times almost non-existent media outlets of the Muslim world. They, for
instance, do not understand the language at Al-Jazeera and they cannot have
access to Pakistani or Saudi newspapers. As a result, they know only what
they are told by CNN, BBC or the Washington Post and the New York Times.
People living in western countries form their opinion based on biased news
reports and analysis of the so-called mainstream media. Few have access to
people who tells the fact, such as Noam Chomsky. Following are a few
articles which may give us a glimpse of what a common man in the streets of
a Muslim world goes through on daily basis and what he feels and thinks of
what is happening around him. This may also give s an idea if the so-called
war on terrorism is actually targeting the terrorist or reducing violence or
the objective goes beyond the stated objectives.
