BNP republishing Daily Mail articles

Friday, 03 February 2012 15:45

Islamophobia Watch draws attention to the BNP’s re-publication of the Daily Mail article of last week on a ‘strict Muslim’ convicted of rape.

The Daily Mail’s habit of publishing articles which are written so as to inflame and pander to anti-Muslim sentiments is nothing new. The paper recently published a news report suggesting ‘honour’ killings were a ‘Muslim’ issue. Other articles include reports on halal meat and prisoners at Feltham Young Offenders’ Institute converting to Islam to ‘get better food’.

A report by Robert Lambert and Jonathan Githens-Mazer highlighted that media representations of Islam and Muslims influenced the acquisition of negative views about Muslims and were a causal factor in motives for anti-Muslim violence. The report argued:

"…empirical evidence demonstrate[s] that assailants of Muslims are invariably motivated by a negative view of Muslims they have acquired from either mainstream or extremist nationalist reports or commentaries in the media. Moreover, the evidence is clear that the major motivating factor for violence against Muslims is a negative and false belief that Muslims pose a security or terrorist threat."
