Representation of Issues

Issue: Islamophobia

The right wing newspapers typically use word linked to Islam like jihad and muslim to demonize them and force people to be scared of them, encouraging islamophobia. However newspapers tend to word their headlines in a way as if they are not actually stating it, they say it as if someone told them that they were jihadis or muslim terrorists, which could be true but instead of saying 'killers in the street' they label them to inspire fear for example 'jihadist killers on our streets' which insights further hate and fear.


Whereas left wing newspaper tend to not inspire hate against muslims they tend to be more on their side and not demonize them and categorize them as all terrorists and try to see things from their perspective for example this headline stating that the media and politicians 'fuel rise in hate crimes against Muslims' which is arguing for the muslim point of view.
