4. ISLAM AND MEDIA
Islam is the fastest-growing religion in the world. It is especially popular among
young people who are connected to social media platforms. Digital platforms
have markedly impacted the social life of Muslims, including their religious
practices, religiosity, preaching, issuing fatwas (religious decrees), and building
virtual communities in the Muslim majority countries or in diasporas. Just as
other regions, the Muslim majority countries have recently witnessed a rapid
diffusion and adoption of social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and
YouTube. In the Arab world, Facebook is the leading social networking Web
site, with 45,194,452 users. Twitter follows with 2,099,706 users. The Arab
region is second to the United States when it comes to the number of YouTube
daily views. With 90 million video views per day, Saudi Arabia has the world’s
highest number of YouTube views per Internet user. The popularity of social
media platforms in the Arab world has led some scholars to expect that its
impact on religious life is likely to rise.
5. Good Deeds of Media in Support of Islam
Social media presents a hugeopportunity for us to reach out topeople who may
not know about Islamic Muslims. Thousands of Americanshave never met a
Muslim but they have access to us through social media.
6. Muslims under the Media Microscope
In the post 9/11era, the growth of electronic &, in particular, social media has
had a significant impact on the lives of Muslims around the world.Khurram T.
Dara, author of the “The Crescent Directive: An Essay on Improving the Image
of Islam in America” remarks that “everyscandal, controversy, or violent
terrorist attack perpetrated by Muslims is put under the microscope.
In addition to the Sufi and other soft versions of Islam, there are also violent
manifestations of Islam found in the blogosphere, enacted as Al
Qaeda, Hamas, and Hizballah. The emergence
of e-jihad in forms of digital activism, hacking
activities, and cyberattacks has turned the blogosphere as a realm of civic use
of social media into “Blogistan,” where aggressiveness and violence are
prominent. The strongest manifestations of the use of social media for political
or even militant Islamic movements are the recent Arab revolutions.

8. Christchurch attacks: Islamophobia in the media
It has been over a week now since 50 Muslim worshippers were killed in
Christchurch, New Zealand. The attacker live streamed his killing spree on
Facebook and the video - all 17 minutes of it - spread from there.
n Australia, where the killer came from, a lot of people are blaming the media -
especially news outlets owned by Rupert Murdoch - for sowing the seeds of the
hate unleashed in Christchurch.
A study conducted by One Path Network, an Islamic media outlet based in
Sydney, tallied up the number of negative stories that five Australian
newspapers owned by Rupert Murdoch's NewsCorp produced in the year 2017.
It found almost 3,000 such stories referring to Islam or Muslims, alongside
words like "violence", "terrorism" or "radical".
Once every second day in 2017 there was a front page that demonised and
spoke negatively about Muslims. This is bound to have an impact on the way
that Australians and mainstream perceive Islam or Muslims
9. Increase in negative messages about Muslims in the
media
Organizations using fear and anger to spread negative messages
about Muslims have moved from the fringes of public discourse into
the mainstream media since the Sept. 11 attacks, according to new
research by a University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill sociologist.
