Ibtisam Posted September 9, 2009 Every years as the anniversary of 9/11 or 7/7 closes in, for at least two weeks, the TV channels, particularly BBC and channel 4, bombard us with documentary about 9/11 or 7/7, on certain nights, there is absolutely nothing else to watch on TV but these shows. Between June and September, without fail, you would find several programs each week about these events. This makes it seem like that whole summer is “Muslim terrorist special edition” Also around the same time “coincidently” attacks on Muslims in Britain increase, this year is the first time, to my knowledge that someone has died as result of these attacks, but nevertheless each year various attacks on the Muslim community is reported around these times. I wonder how much of these attacks are as result or correlated with these attacks against Muslims, particularly Muslim institutions such as Mosques, which get firebombed or worshippers attacked. How much do these documentaries play in role in stirring up the angry and hatred of Muslims. Either hate crimes are not reported in the rest of the year, or there is something else at work. I think in particularly this year, with unemployment, credit crunch and lots of other issues within the society, people are generally angry and looking for ways to vent their angry and they also have a lot of time to watch these programs, so its impact is more likely to be felt by the Muslim Community. What do you think? Particularly nomads from UK, have you noticed any chances in those months. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SayidSomal Posted September 9, 2009 You might be on to something here ibti - tv having subconscious effects on people on serious note - if people already possessed hatered then it will incense them to higher outrage and will properly lead them to take the kind actions you describing. thinking about, it was couple years ago in the summer that a friend was telling about their local imaam getting attacked on broad daylight on his way to the masjid by man on bike who clubbed him on the head with tool he was carrying, local none muslims gave the man a chase directing the police to his where abouts. at the same time people from the local pub treated and comforted the imaam till the ambulance arrived. this happened in Easth Dulwich an all white area between Brixton and Peckham. The woman i was telling about watched t flight 93 or something last week on channel four and she was asking questions about that too. of course it is all clear that this channels/tvs have their own agenda in showing these documentaries/shows this particular time. if it bleeds it leads sort of thing. hoping for a "big conversation" as they say.

5 Posted September 9, 2009 St0pid people will believe anything they see on TV. Because Television is the Beacon of Light & Truth. We Somali Muslims are a little smarter than that, right? Right? Well apparently no, it seems we're just as dumb as those beating Muslim clerks in the street. Quite a few Somali guys have left for Somalia in the past few years to fight in the civil war - by the side of some dodgy militants with unknown agendas & funding (very possibly linked to Al-Qaeda). Not to mention how many Somali (men) admire Osama Bin Laden for being a courageous, enlightened Muslim. 'Cuz he dook dem buildings down, right? Right!? BTW, read this fake interview with President Obama by Charlie Sheen, it's funny (thought not laugh out loud funny - but what else do you expect from Charlie Sheen) and it raises some very darn disturbing issues. Like that 60% of 9/11 Investigation Commettee thought the government pretty much lied about 9/11. http://www.prisonpla net.com/twenty-minut es-with-the-presiden t.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
