How The British Media Helps Radicalize People Against Islam

Im going to kill all Muslims.

Thats what a white man said after he plowed a rented van into Muslim worshipers leaving the Finsbury Park Mosque in north London early Monday, police allege. One man died and 11 people were injured in the incident.

The next day The Times, a major British newspaper, splashed a picture of the suspect, 47-year-old named Darren Osborne , across its front page, below a sympathetic headline describing him as a jobless lone wolf. The accompanying subheading described him as a father of four with mental health problems.

Spot the difference. Caucasian vs Brown. Same method of terrorism, two different motives whilst reporting. #FinsburyPark pic.twitter.com/EnsEIROChC
Waleed Zafar (@WaleedZafar1) June 19, 2017

The sympathetic media coverage of Osbornes arrest is in contrast to headlines about incidents in the United Kingdom where the suspects have been Muslim .

Moreover, a notable absence from this weeks headlines on the London mosque attack is the issue of radicalization , something author J.K. Rowling pointed out in a tweet Monday.

Thats perhaps because theres mounting evidence that the media itself plays a part in radicalizing non-Muslims to commit Islamophobic attacks.

A string of academic studies in the U.K. have documented the wanton fear-mongering in the British media about Muslims over the past decade. And this fear-mongering, experts say, can have real and dangerous consequences.

We need address the reasons why the #FinsburyPark terrorist was radicalised. pic.twitter.com/oLaHKYeSkB
James Melville (@JamesMelville) June 19, 2017

Heres a sampling of some of the inflammatory headlines that have graced the pages of U.K. newspapers particularly the right-wing tabloids over the years:

BBC PUT MUSLIMS BEFORE YOU! The Daily Star , Oct. 18, 2006.

MUSLIMS TELL BRITISH: GO TO HELL! Daily Express on Nov. 4, 2010.

MUSLIM SCHOOLS BAN OUR CULTURE Daily Express , Feb. 20, 2009.

And the accompanying stories sometimes contain outright fabrications .

In 2015, the Daily Express published an article claiming that half of Britains 3 million Muslims support the Islamic State. It based its claim on a deeply dubious poll, and the Express was eventually forced to delete the article.

That same year, The Sun ran the headline 1 in 5 Brit Muslims sympathy for jihadis on its front page. The paper was later forced to admit that the article was significantly misleading though it published its correction in much smaller print on page two.

Dr. Paul Baker, author of the book Discourse Analysis and Media Attitudes: The Representation of Islam in the British Press , told HuffPost that such coverage can ensnare British society in a vicious cycle.

Sadly, the attack aimed at Muslims at Finsbury Park is exactly what extremist violent groups like ISIS are wanting to happen they want to ignite a global war and force people to pick sides, said Baker, who is a professor at Lancaster University .

Every time a newspaper prints a negative story about Muslims, ISIS leaders will be rubbing their hands in glee so these journalists are inadvertently helping them, he said. Hate breeds more hate.
