Modern Day Propoganda

threeworldwars.com, "Modern Day Propoganda against Islam." Dec. 6 2009 threeworldwars.com/crchive/wel/welcome09.htm

This is a very interesting article that talks about our modern day propoganda againt Islam. The first thing that comes to our mind when we hear propoganda is WW1 and WW2. We have not thought that we are being exposed to propoganda today about our current war. We often see headlines such as "Islam: A Killing Cult, not a religion." and "Anti-Muslim Abuse Soars After 7/7." We are always told about the radical Islamics and that they are a killing people but in reality they are a religion of peace. There is a just a very small group that are radical Islamics that practice martyrdom. We are fed these false ideas through the media to justify us going to war. If we were to show pictures of their religion of peace then we would be more likely to fight against America going to war.

I believe it is important to recognize propoganda but I do not believe that it is necessarily bad. I believe that it is positive and raises partiotism and unification amongst our nation. The media feeds us what we want to hear and in reality our government is fighting the "Radical Islamic" people and not the "religion of peace." It is not like this propoganda is totally bogus information that makes us brainwashed war supporters. We are just being shown what the government is fighting and supporting and what we should take into account when deciding our position on these certain topics.
