Would it be the same if it were someone else? of another religion
For example, Disney's Aladdin.
This news article shows point 4 in the slide above because it shows how the westernisation of countries is due to the exploitation- President Bush invaded Iraq purely for their oil.
"Hate against muslims is normal"
France- They banned the burkini for being "offensive" even though its very similar to a wet suit, as it is their religion why should it be banned?
Do 20% of British Muslims really sympathise
with jihadists?
As The Sun added the percentages together, this shows how they twisted the results- proving this to be a form of mediation as it is biased, with The Sun being a Right Wing influenced newspaper, it shows how their views of pro-exploitation would influence their final result- Thus picking the result which best fits their values on the subject. Additionally, the questions were worded very badly, they weren't actually about "the sympathy for Jihadis" but actually the "sympathy on the young Muslims who leave the UK", if the question was worded, "Do you feel sympathy for Jihadi" the results would be completely different. This links with the Cohen's theory because it shows the "folk devil" view of how "all Muslims" are violent and see to be uncivilised (also linking with orientalism). Furthermore, with the motive of the newspaper being Right wing, they would want the view of Muslims being a stereotype- therefore with a headline being "1 in 5 British Muslims sympathise with Jihadists", the audience would be shocked and want to read this, thus making it an unreliable source of information as they twisted the wording, it made to look much more extreme than it really was. Linking with the hypodermic needle theory because if someone was to just read newspapers and not go on the internet, they may not be able to look further into the statistics and may be led to believe this was really true and be horrified, but truth would be that The Sun worded it wrong and mislead the questionnaire in receiving these statistics.
This translates to "2 child menus for the price of one", with the "so close to their goal". As thousands of Muslims were immigrating into the west to escape, hundreds were dying, including hundreds of children- as like in the cartoon above (a dead child on the shore). An image was spread around the world of the child "Aylan" whom is an example of an infant who's body was found on the shores of Turkey, raising the awareness of the damaged which is happening due to the immigrants trying to escape from Syria. However, even though everyone was shocked by this event of a child dying and their body being found on the shore, Charlie Hebdo made this satire cartoon, displaying a western company (McDonalds) with a smiling clown- used to be a character of child interest, thus showing how even though everything is happening with all these children dying, the western companies would continue to produce their western ideology to continue to exploit the western and developing world.
Another example can include Lee Rigby
From Charlie Hedbo to Chapel hill
Paris attacks- police raiding 2000 muslims- it legitimises islamophobia
Verbal and physical attack
Keeping the fear of muslims alive
Reinforcing hegemony- making it appear that western values are "better" and the "right" way of living.
"The press don't present the facts the represent them " Buckingham- MEDIATION
Why is it happening to Islam?
(Its very similar to Christianity so why is there Islamophobia?)
Todorovs theory- The perception of Islam has changed- 9/11- when the 2nd plane came- the equilibrium is broken- it is clear the first one wasn't as accident- it was an act of terror
Gram-0- the memorial for the twin towers- showing anything they destroy they can rebuild- they come out stronger- the return of equilibrium
(these are the findings from DR Chris Allen's survey in 2012)
