Muslim Rage?

The issue with media’s audience is that we take the news for its word. When constant images and stories of violence and destruction involving the Middle East are broadcasted, that becomes the representation we grow to recognize. Stereotypes are fueled by media. When media frequently portrays a group of people in a certain way, it grows in to an unwanted depiction which inaccurately summarizes an entire group of people. For instance, the only aspect media captures of the Middle East is the anti-American extremists.  

In the case of the Middle East, I am not denying the extremist anti-American sect of the Middle East. I am defending the majority of Muslims who are unjustly labeled and not associated with the extremists. So in response to Newsweek’s Muslim Rage, I would like to share these 13 powerful images of Muslim rage. It’s great. Check out the link below.
