Why do so many people attack Islam and think it’s all about violence? Is it because of movies and media that distorted its true image?
Many discredit Islam because of propaganda masterminded by who knows who, starting from films to the formation of terrorist groups in the name of Islam. This causes people who do not know Islam to immediately judge Islamic teachings according to what they see and hear from propaganda media.
Now, let’s take for instance-for someone who hasn’t met Muslims personally or studied Islam deeply, it’s easy to form opinions based on fear or sensational stories. Media rarely shows Muslims feeding the poor, praying with sincerity, forgiving others, or standing up for justice and those are all real parts of Islamic life.
This really interests me so much- It’s such a powerful and important question.
Many people who criticize Islam or associate it with violence often do so without truly understanding the faith or its core values. Islam, at its heart, is a religion built on peace, justice, compassion, and submission to God — not hatred or harm. But unfortunately, what often shapes public opinion isn’t the Qur’an or the lives of everyday Muslims — it’s the headlines, movies, and media narratives that focus on conflict, extremism, or isolated acts of violence done in the name of religion.
