This document discusses how media can both cause and help overcome Islamophobia. It analyzes media's role from sociological and psychological perspectives. From a sociological view, media representations construct reality and meaning by selectively presenting information that often associates Islam with terrorism and radicalism. This widespread negative portrayal through news coverage of violence and bombings has contributed to the rise of Islamophobia globally. Psychologically, audiences interpret this biased media content in ways that reinforce stereotypes and irrational fears, further fueling anti-Muslim sentiment. However, the document also notes that media can play a positive role by informing and educating in a way that promotes understanding and social change. It suggests media, along with government and Islamic organizations, could work
This document discusses Islamophobia, including its definition, causes, manifestations, and effects. It defines Islamophobia as an irrational fear or dislike of Islam and Muslims that can lead to prejudice, stereotyping, discrimination and hatred. The document explores several causes of Islamophobia like ignorance of Islam, negative media portrayals, and actions by anti-Muslim groups. It describes how Islamophobia manifests through discrimination, hate speech, laws targeting Muslims, and general social exclusion. Finally, the document outlines some negative effects of Islamophobia like preventing Muslim participation, social unrest, and potential radicalization. It suggests interventions like anti-discrimination laws, education, awareness campaigns, and the work of NGOs to help
The document discusses several goals and motivations that have been linked to terrorism, including religion, social causes, political achievements, desire for change, gaining attention, and revenge. It argues that while some of these goals like political change may have motivated terrorism in the past, religion is now the primary motivation behind many terrorist attacks. It also contends that using violence and harming innocent people can never be justified as a means to enact change or get revenge.

Causal Analysis on Terrorism
The conventional definition of terrorism portrays it as the use of violence in order to pursue political interests (Sandler, 2013). The awareness of terrorism increased along with the realization that human beings have the tendency of using violence to influence politics in order to suit their psychological, emotional, and physical needs. Likewise, terrorism has increased along with the understanding that governments can be forced to agree to the demands of specific groups. Arguably, the September 9/11 attack on the United States caught the attention of many people (Sandler, 2013). The successful attack on the most powerful nation revealed the extent of people’s vulnerability.
Consequently, many studies which attempted to explain the causes of terrorism in the contemporary society emerged. In the past, scholars placed much emphasis on low-level education, few economic opportunities, and poverty as the primary facilitators of terrorism. However, terrorism has not reduced despite the implementation of interventions which focused on redressing such factors (Sandler, 2013). It means that there is still a gap in the information regarding the cause of terrorism regardless of the studies. Therefore, this paper seeks to examine terrorism as a response to political conditions while proving that low-level education, poverty, and religious and cultural differences are not the primary causes of the problem.Discussion
A study conducted by Enders and Hoover (2012) to determine the relationship between poverty and terrorism forms a part of the basis underpinning this discussion. The study methodology involved the analysis of information entailing the extent of domestic and international terrorism. It also involved the estimation of models which could predict a nonlinear relationship between poverty and terrorism (Enders & Hoover, 2012). The study determined that poverty can cause terrorism, but not to the extent to which it has been exaggerated by the media and some scholars. In fact, poverty can only significantly influence domestic terrorism. The study also established that the difference in population characteristics and political freedom can facilitate terrorism relatively more compared to poverty and lack of economic opportunities (Enders & Hoover, 2012). Comment by Author: Transition between these sentences to show you are adding on a fact that helps to support the points you are making about false causes.
In a different discussion, Cinar in conjunction with Epoka University (2010) reviewed several literature sources and determined that it is misleading to perceive terrorism as a response to inadequate education or lack of thereof. Likewise, the difference in ideological roots, religious, and cultural diversity are not the predominant causes of terrorism. In the past, terrorists used religion to find acceptable justification for their acts. Otherwise, religion cannot influence people to form a particular political opinion ...

The document discusses the concept of moral panic as defined by sociologist Stanley Cohen. It describes how moral panics emerge when a group is defined as a threat to societal values and interests and is presented in a stylized, stereotypical way by the media. Moral panics tend to occur during periods of significant social change and reinforce societal boundaries. Examples discussed include panics over witchcraft, drugs, and the internet. The document then analyzes moral panics around eugenics and satanism and how elite groups manipulated society's views to target certain people.

The document uses examples like witchcraft, satanic rituals, and drugs to illustrate past moral panics and discusses how moral panics are not just about exaggerated problems but fears of losing control over marginalized groups.

Is Media Responsible for Rise of Islamophobia in America?
America is home to one of the most diverse Muslim inhabitants in the world. This includes people of nearly every cultural groups, country and school of thought. A significant proportion of Americans are of the opinion that Islam as a religion is incomparable with American values. Nathan Lean has stated that media plays a major role in the promotion of Islamophobia throughout the world. Reports have been observed where seven charitable foundations have spent 43 million dollars between 2001 to 2009 in order to support the spread of anti-Muslim rhetoric. Another factor was revealed which included 2010 Gallup poll win, which 43% of the Americans were, reported to feel a sense of prejudice against Muslims. Fox news has also been identified as the small component of Islamophobia in US media. Fox news has been found to retract false claims about Muslims. Various empirical evidences have been found to provide possible interactions between the latent Muslim feelings and media coverage.
However, since 2011, Muslims in the United States have been showing significant concern regarding extremism in the name of Islam across the world. Concurrently, majority are of the opinion that there is minimal support of extremism with Muslim community even though the general public differs (Spring 1,5). This has led to a rise in discernment and fear against Muslims in America. Such a social aversion and prejudice against Muslims in America has been gradually facilitating and continuing by vehement and uncivilized stereotypes exhibited in diverse forms of American media organization and political domains which instigate high level of prejudice, discrimination and exclusion of the Muslims. While some Americans believe Islamic religion promotes terrorism, this misconception is due to ignorance caused by media, but this could be solved by mandatory education about Islam in colleges.
The effect of media, chiefly mass news media as well as technology, in influencing Islamophobia has been increasing concern from the time of the 9/11 attacks. Several standpoints tend to problematize the way the media through numerous avenues related to news and film as well as nonfiction destructively depict, racialize and demonize Muslim-American identities. The impression of these edifices of Arabs and Muslims on unconstructive typecasts as well as events of marginalization amongst Muslim-American communities are apprehended in many academic domains. Considine in his study of Muslim portrayal in the United States during late 1980s and early 1990s have found that Muslims have been depicted negatively in news reporting since then. Moreover, majority of the narrations which mentioned Muslims to be intrinsically related to terrorism and war did not find sufficient evidence of more generalized negative prejudice. Howe.

How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).
AI Trends in Creative Operations 2024 by Artwork Flow.pdfmarketingartwork
Creative operations teams expect increased AI use in 2024. Currently, over half of tasks are not AI-enabled, but this is expected to decrease in the coming year. ChatGPT is the most popular AI tool currently. Business leaders are more actively exploring AI benefits than individual contributors. Most respondents do not believe AI will impact workforce size in 2024. However, some inhibitions still exist around AI accuracy and lack of understanding. Creatives primarily want to use AI to save time on mundane tasks and boost productivity.
Organizational culture includes values, norms, systems, symbols, language, assumptions, beliefs, and habits that influence employee behaviors and how people interpret those behaviors. It is important because culture can help or hinder a company's success. Some key aspects of Netflix's culture that help it achieve results include hiring smartly so every position has stars, focusing on attitude over just aptitude, and having a strict policy against peacocks, whiners, and jerks.

Google's Just Not That Into You: Understanding Core Updates & Search IntentLily Ray
1. Core updates from Google periodically change how its algorithms assess and rank websites and pages. This can impact rankings through shifts in user intent, site quality issues being caught up to, world events influencing queries, and overhauls to search like the E-A-T framework.
2. There are many possible user intents beyond just transactional, navigational and informational. Identifying intent shifts is important during core updates. Sites may need to optimize for new intents through different content types and sections.
3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.

Keywords: Media, Causes, Strategy, Islamophobia.
A. Introduction
Thedevelopmentofmassmediatodayarequiteencouraging
(both print and electronic), and supporting activities of society in
different social strata. Therefore, the mass media is often used as
a tool to transform the information from two directions, namely
from the media towards society, or transform information between
itself (Bungin, 2001: 1)
Recently, the influence of the mass media is very extensive,
because it can bring everything that happens in the world every
day. News about various lives is published widely to the public.
As far as possible, the news that is published by mass media does
not harm one party, the company’s own mass media sources or
subjects even reported. One of human needs, both as individuals
and as members of society, is information.
Throughinformation,peoplecanupdatevariouseventsthat
occurred nearby area or around the world. So, information from
media gives knowledge to society. With the speed and precision
of the mass media in presenting information, the public should
not worry to miss the news because with today’s sophisticated
technology, the mass media have capability to penetrate time and
space. Information about collapse of the World Trade Centre and
the Pentagon in the United States and the first Bali bombing in
Indonesia, are the example of the speed of mass media reported
the tragedy.
After a WTC tragedy in New York, on 2001, which was
highlightedbymedia,theIslamiccommunitybecameacentralissue.
The Islamic community was assumed as the cause of the problems
of the world (particularly terrorism) and became the target of its
accusations (stereotype). Therefore, starting on October 1, 2002,
American government published a list of suspected terrorists. The
Australian Government also did a similar action by setting a series
of anti-terrorism rules and raiding several houses of Muslims after
the first Bali bombing.
Ratna Istriyani and Yuliatun
3. Qijis, Volume 4, Issue 2, August 2016 203
Indonesia anxiety and accusations against Muslims
emerged following the first Bali bombings on 12 October 2002.
Anxiety and charges spread along with a series of arrests of
suspects and perpetrators of terror such as Amrozi, Ali Imron,
Imam Samudra, and Abu Bakar Baasyir. The worst, their attributes
and appearance becomes a symbol or representation of terrorism.
In other words, emerged a pragmatic construction of society that
terrorists synonymous with thick bearded face, koko clothes, cap,
and always say the slogan “Allahu Akbar” (Bazian, 2015: 161).
Its construction is then led to excessive anticipation attitude
towards Islam, especially those who wore such attributes. Even
its construction is also trusted by the government and security
apparatus.
In this case, media act on emerging and the spread of
Islamophobia.It can’t be denied that religion is a sensitive issue.
None of religious believer who is willing to their religion is used
as a scapegoat for an event. No wonder if recently appearing
persons who declared as defenders of God. As stated in the study
of psychoanalysis that human have instinct of die (tanatos) which
appears in the form of aggression, so causes the terrorists didn’t
fear in order to defend their religion. Relate to the media, such
phenomena as if a commodity of information to meet the needs
and curiosity of the audience, as well as to capture revenue from
advertising. While the capitalist perspective, entertainment and
culture has been transformed into the industry. The mass media as
a business has goal to obtain maximum profit. Capitalist prefer take
into account economic terms rather than paying attention to the
socio-cultural aspect (the public). In this aspect, Thedore Adorno
and Mark Horkheimer (Durham and Kellner, 2006: 52) state that
the media are accomplices of Capitalist that spread a deception.
In this context, they saw that the media is a new instrument of
domination through modification of various aspects of life, which
in this case according to the views of the authors, not only in the
entertainment aspect but also the news or broadcasting.
Based on these matters, need to be seen that the media
Media : Causes And Strategies To Overcome .....
4. Qijis, Volume 4, Issue 2, August 2016
204
has two aspects. On the one hand, the information reinforces the
existing social values; but on the other hand media can shapes
new social values
or new construction. Thus, the media have the
ambivalent effect. The positive effect is if the media focuses on the
function of informing and educating. If media focus on accentuating
the entertainment (to entertain) and coaxing (to persuade), it
can cause a number of negative effects to the society. Therefore,
the media have multiple effects in relation to the phenomenon
of Islamophobia. On one side, media can be a cause of rise of
Islamophobia; on other side can also be a strategy in to overcome
Islamophobia. Based on the above, this paper examines two points.
First, the media is as the cause of Islamophobia. Second, media is
as a strategy to overcome Islamophobia with the psychological and
sociological perspective.
B. Symptoms of Islamophobia
Islamophia is a combination of two words, Islam and
Phobia. Islam refers to monotheistic religion or belief which states
that Mohammed is the prophet of Allah (Rasulullah). Phobia is an
extreme and irrational fear of a thing (in Alshammari, 2013: 178).
Thus Islamophobia synonymous with fear, anxiety and phobia
against Muslims, could even include a set of processes that have
an impact on the law, economic, and society (Bazian, 2015: 162).
Excessive anxiety and fear often lead to acts of discrimination
against Muslims.
One example of excessive anxiety are cases of wrongful
arrests of suspected terrorists by the Densus 88 in Solo in late
2015, and death of Siyono at the time of arrest which culminate
in the problem of human rights violations on February 2016. It
incident illustrates that anxiety and excessive vigilance of the
security apparatus became source that has led to pragmatic action
without looking at the root of the problem. Such actions indicate
that Islamophobia can destroy a person’s rationality.
It thus also overrides Tahera Ahmad Muslim, community
members at Northwestern University of Chicago who received
Ratna Istriyani and Yuliatun
5. Qijis, Volume 4, Issue 2, August 2016 205
discriminatory treatment from flight attendant in the United
Airlines. A flight attendant gives beverage cans that have been
opened earlier, the reason is not to be used as a weapon by Tahera.
Even other passengers actually support flight attendant action
with a reason that Tahera is a Moslem. The incident shows that
the discriminatory measures because of extreme fear against
Islam occurred in various lines of society, and not look at men and
women.
The study of Islamophobia began in 1995 in England. Some
studies show that Islam is perceived as a threat. Islam is considered
to have similarities with the Nazi and communist that contain of an
overview of the invasion and infiltration. Fear and hatred of Islam
then continued on fear and distaste to the majority of the Moslems.
Hatred is underway in several Western countries. The last twenty
years, hatred towards Muslims increasingly revealed with more
extreme and more dangerous (Truts in Moordiningsih, 2004: 74).
In America, extreme suspicion and negative perceptions toward
Islam is widespread after September 11, 2001. Various skewed
perceptions are as follows:
1. The Islam Religion portrays a monolithic culture and it is
Relentless to accept the emerging realities in the society.
2. Islamic religion has completely different values
in
comparison with other Faiths and cultures.
3. Islam is inferior Considered as perceived by the west. It is
deemed to have barbarism traits, archaic, and relatively
irrational.
4. Islam religion supports various acts of terrorism and
general violence in the society.
5. Islamic religion is a violent ideology in the political arena
(Alshammari, 2013: 177).
Perceptions above do not doubt constructing that Islam
is rigid, barbaric, irrational, and thick with violence. Therefore,
it later emerged the assumption that a series of terrorist acts
identified with Islam.
In Indonesia, symptoms Islamophobia appear after the
Media : Causes And Strategies To Overcome .....

first Bali bomb on October 12, 2002, which killed 202 consisting
of foreigners and citizen. Starting from such events, terrorism
issue began to boom. Until the arrest of the suspects, they are
Amrozi and his friends who use Islam attributes. Finally, fear and
vigilance against Islam (especially Radical Islam) were arisen.
Furthermore, a series of bombs, both large and small such as
bombing of JW Marriot Hotel in 2003, bombing of the Australian
Embassy (2004), Bombing of Jimbaran/Bali II (2005), bombing
JW Marriot II and Ritz Carlton (2009), bombing Sarinah (2016),
and a series of terror events in some areas.
Islamophobia has several characteristics, and there are
some keys to understanding these differences (Runnymede in
Moordiningsih, 2004: 75), which is open and closed views of Islam.
Phobia and fear of Islam is a characteristic of the closed viewa
on Islam; while logic disapproval and constructive criticism and
appreciation are an open view of Islam.
C. Media as Cause of Islamophobia (Sociological and
Psychological Perspective)
This sub discussion discusses how the media influence
the emergence and spread of Islamophibia in two perspectives,
thatareSociologicalandPsychologicalperspective.Sociological
perspective emphasizes the power relations of media in the
information/news constructing or presenting and analyzed
with the theory of media representation. While psychological
perspective uses a cognitive approach that emphasizes how the
people watching and understanding the information that direct
to a stereotypical action, which then leads to Islamophobia.
1. Media Representation
It cannot be denied that today we live in the
information age, along with the cutting-edge technology.
Technology support the deployment of information more
massive and faster, for the example is the mass media such
as television and the Internet that can be accessed easily
and cheaply by anyone. The flow of information or news
Ratna Istriyani and Yuliatun
7. Qijis, Volume 4, Issue 2, August 2016 207
could spin so fast and can penetrate through the boundaries
of space and time.
Unfortunately, the mass media, especially electronic
media, became an instrument and a cause of Islamophobia
widespread around the globe, mainly through the canals
of news about violence, radicalism, and terrorism which
are often associated or identified with Islam. Therefore,
it can be described that the media is loaded with political
representation. That’s why Stuart Hall revealed that the
media does not merely reproduce reality or covering
the event as it is. Reality was actually established and
perpetuated by their language practices. In other words,
the media not only transmit the meaning but establish or
construct the meaning of reality.
“... The media defined, not Merely Reproduced,
‘reality’. Definitions of reality were sustained and
produced through all Reviews those linguistic
practices (in the broad sense) by means of which
selective definitions of ‘the real’ were represented.
But representation is a very different notion
from that of reflection. It implies the active
work of selecting and presenting, of structuring
and shaping: Merely not the transmitting of an
alreadyexisting meaning, but the more active
labor of making things mean. It was a practice, a
production, of meaning: what subsequently came
to be defined as a ‘signifying practice’. The media
were signifying agents ... “(Stuart Hall in Michael
Gurevitch, Tony Bennett, James Curran, and Janet
Wallacott, 1982: 60).
Thus, a lot of the audience who agrees reality or
news conveyed by the media, especially television and
internet (letter news/ daily online). In fact, media often
exaggerate the reality (hyperreality) so that their reality
becomes vague. Especially news about radicalism and
terrorism including bombings and shootings are then

8. Qijis, Volume 4, Issue 2, August 2016
208
often associated with radical Islamic groups so as to form
an opinion on Islam globally. News about the spread of
radicalism and terrorism, especially after the WTC bombing
on September’11 2001 and the first Bali bombing in 2002,
and the media has a major role and cause complex effects
on the global world. It’s up to the media in Indonesia that
informed about bombings; particularly the most recent is
bombing in Sarinah Jakarta, in early 2016.
“NIIS bertanggung jawab dalam serangan bersenjata
pagi ini dengan target warga negara asing dan
petugas keamanan yang mengamankan mereka di
Ibukota Indonesia,” kata sumber Aamaaq. Indonesia
belum memastikan kebenaran dari klaim yang
dilansir Kantor Berita Aamaaq tersebut…
Kepala Divisi Humas Polri Irjen Anton Charliyan
mencurigai peristiwa tersebut terkait dengan
peringatan yang pernah diberikan oleh Negara
Islam di Irak dan Suriah (NIIS). Pihaknya mengakui,
peringatan itu pernah diterima dari kelompok NIIS
pada Desember 2015 lalu.
Namun, peringatan itu benar-benar terjadi. Padahal,
pihaknya sudah berusaha menyikapinya dengan
melakukan berbagai penangkapan kelompok teroris.
(Reported by news article Kompas Online, posted in
January 14, 2016. The title is “Bom dan Ledakan di
Sarinah Jakarta, Polisi Sudah Mendapat Peringatan
Sebelumnya dari NIIS”)
That news was published in a few hours after the
bombing incident at Sarinah Jakarta on January 14, 2016.
The news using the controversial title: Bom dan Ledakan
di Sarinah Jakarta, Polisi Sudah Mendapat Peringatan
Sebelumnya dari NIIS (Bomb blast in Sarinah, Jakarta, police
had received warnings previously from NIIS). Language and
words in a news article is the practice of using language that
represents that the bomb blast was an extraordinary event
Ratna Istriyani and Yuliatun
9. Qijis, Volume 4, Issue 2, August 2016 209
because it is fronted by world terrorist and militants. Then,
any bombings or radicalism will always be associated with
terrorism and NIIS (ISIS), which is then Islam in general
associated with such sadistic acts.
The other example is the news on television.
Television is a special study for Hall because it has a series
of sign that more complex. Not only has the language, the
television had a visual and aural aspect. Visual related to
focus on the image display that often leads to the bomb
victims and perpetrators. While aural associated with
audio or exposure broadcasters (including rhythm and
emphasis), and is usually done in a tone loud, tense and
serious.
In the process of reporting or broadcasting, at
least there are two processes, which in terms Hall called
the encoding and decoding (cryptanalysis). Domination of
encryption/coding into the power of the media is as an
agent. The form of encryption is the keyword “bomb” and
“suspicion about the bomb incident and NIIS warning”.
Addition, on television, focuses on the image of terrorists
who wear the attributes which symbolizes Islam (cap, koko,
etc) or image of injuries or died victims shortly after the
incident.
The process encoding which involves a process of
decoding or code reading (meaning) -according to Hall- can
give effects, influence, entertainment, persuasion with the
many consequences.
“... It is this set of decoded meanings “ have an effect
‘, influence, entertain, instruct or persuade, with
very complex perceptual, cognitive, emotional,
ideological or behavioral consequences ... “(in
Durham and Kellner (ed), 2006: 165)
Thus, news about the series of bomb or terrorist acts such
previous footage can makes an impact and consequences
Media : Causes And Strategies To Overcome .....
10. Qijis, Volume 4, Issue 2, August 2016
210
of perception and cognition of Islam were represented
cruel and harsh. The consequence that is more damaging
was directed to the emotions and discriminatory habits
(behavioral) against Islam and its adherents. Then the most
feared is the ideological consequences associated with the
ideas and viewpoints of Islam. In other words, indirectly
media have legitimized or confirmed views of the people in
the outside world about Islam. As described by Alshammari
(2013: 177):
“... Islam is inferior Considered as perceived by the
west. It is deemed to have barbarism traits, archaic,
and relatively irrational, Islam religion supports
various acts of terrorism and general violence in the
society, the Islamic religion is a violent ideology in
the political arena.”
Islam is seen as a religion of violence and embraces the
ideology of violence, so it is considered cruel, archaic
and irrational. Thus, Islam has always connected with
the bombings, mass murder or terrorism. Though, the
terminology Islam is refers to salvation or peace. Violence,
radicalism, and terrorism are only done by handful people
whobringIslamattributes.Forthatreason,theimplications
against the Muslims.
No wonder if then appear excessive anticipatory
actions against the Muslims. So that cases of fault arrest
suspected terrorists and perpetrators and discrimination
against Tahera in public space could occur. Thus, we can see
media to be one trigger rising of Islamophobia or excessive
fear of Islam was later implicated in a series of acts of
discrimination against Muslims in various aspects of life,
both in the macro and micro context.
2. Media, Islamophobia, and Cognitive Approaches
The spread of Islamophobia by media also can be
studied with cognitive approach that refers to the ability
Ratna Istriyani and Yuliatun
11. Qijis, Volume 4, Issue 2, August 2016 211
of people or individuals to view or read and understand
the information from the media and the environment.
In the psychological context, Ashmore and Delbolca
(in Moordinigsih, 2004: 76) explain that the cognitive
approachemphasizesonhowsocialinformationisreceived,
processed, and recognized in the memory.
In the case of virus or plague of Islamophobia, not
only stop on the process of receiving information related
to Islam through the media, but also the appearance of
stereotypes act or negative view of Islam which not only
done by non-Muslims and even fellow Muslims. Thus, the
cognitive approach by Lipman becomes relevant in the case
of Islamophobia. According to Lipman (in Moordinigsih,
2004:76)emphasizesacognitiveapproachtothediscussion
of stereotypes. Human categorizing and stereotyping to
reduce the amount of information must be understood. The
term stereotype appeared first to describe the beliefs that
are transmitted on the characteristics such as personality,
expected behavior, as well as the values
of the individual.
Prejudice often occurs because error or closure in the
processing of any information that stems from stereotypes.
Based on cognitive approach by Lippman, a person’s
knowledge or stereotypes against Islam and terrorism
relies on information provided by the media. As described
in the previous exposure that the news has been emerged
the extreme and irrational prejudice against Islam. Linking
of bombings with the militant is such as ISIS. But actually
the information is unconfirmed accurately. Therefore, the
news would cause excessive fear and prejudice that are
less grounded and less analysis. In other words, the public
has tended to categorize and stigma. Moreover, according
to Lippman, stereotypes are usually done to minimize
information that overload. Meanwhile, television channels
and news or articles online are too much. They give the
same news review. Therefore, a lot of information that is
Media : Causes And Strategies To Overcome .....
12. Qijis, Volume 4, Issue 2, August 2016
212
scattered in the community emerged stereotypes.
The worst is what is happened in the internet media
where information can spread very quickly. We often read
and find excessive news or information (hyperbola) and
fault that often called a hoax or fake news. The fake news
often causes panic. Yet the reality or information needs to
be confirmed and it is not as bad as reported. Therefore,
Islamophobia spread so quickly because the community
itself is easy to get caught up in hyper reality or fault reality.
Actually, television and the Internet could be a tool of
political economy, or to obtain the profit. The reality that
we see today, media vying to present the update news show
the content consisting hyperbole can attract the attention
of the audience.
The two approaches above shows that Islamophobia
is influenced by the information, whether the information
of the individual or which are available (especially from
media). Then its information can’t be separated from the
views that exist within the community about Islam and the
Islamic community. Regard to information, the media have
a central role in providing information to the public and be
able to cause anxiety to Islam (Islamophobia).
3. Media as Strategy to Overcome Islamophobia
Majority Indonesia’s population is Muslim, so Islam
hasbecomeacentralissueinthecontextofreligiouslife.The
reality cases of radicalism, violence, religious conflict, and a
series of bomb tragedy in some public places be one cause
of the fear or the seeds of Islamophobia. The most worrying
is the fear that emerged among Muslims themselves. The
implication could lead to the fragmentation of Muslims.
Islam came to bring a peace, justice and the rule
is expected to be brought into a better social order. Islam
teaches peace to all classes, except the parties who interfere
with and hinder Muslims to carry out the rules of Islam.
Ratna Istriyani and Yuliatun
13. Qijis, Volume 4, Issue 2, August 2016 213
Open view of Islam need to be built and closed views need
to be minimized, of course it is not as easy when it has been
internalized by some members of the community.
A strategy is needed to counter the spread of
Islamophobia. When Moslems have the self-esteem, they
don’t worry about the fear of other parties against Islam.
However, the Muslims will be more dignified if it arises a
respect because Islam is perceived bring benefits in the
lives of human beings.
As described in the presentation earlier that the
media is considered to be one of the causes of outbreaks
of Islamophobia since the preaching inaccurate and
exaggerated the events terror that occurred in Indonesia
and in the global world. Even, pragmatically media take
economic advantage of the attention and anxiety arising
from the audience or the communicant. Nevertheless, it
is necessary to build an optimistic thinking to the media,
especially in the Indonesian context. Moreover, the majority
of Indonesia’s population is Muslim, and there are scholars
who have power or strategic position to cooperate with the
mediaandconfirmtheissuesthatledtoissueofIslam.Thus,
the media really becomes a window to expand the view and
allows us to understand what is happening around without
a tendency. Media is an agency that uses language practices
that can explain and give meaning (Stuart Hall, 1982). In
this case, the media can give constructive meaning to events
or things that are separate and unclear about Islam and a
series of terror.
Before linking with the media, need to look at the
studyoranalysisoftheStrengths-Weaknesses-Opportunities-
Threats (SWOT) matrix. SWOT matrix is on of a tool to help
build four types of strategies. Moordingsih (2004) uses
the concept from F.R David to organize a SWOT analysis in
Indonesia as a base to organize the strategy. SWOT Analysis,
among others, as follows:

14. Qijis, Volume 4, Issue 2, August 2016
214
Strengths
ThemajorityofthepopulationisMuslim,thepeople
of Indonesia have motivation TO CE ONCERN in
Islam, there is the rise of the youth of Islam
Weaknesses
negative perceptions of Islam, negative and closed
information about Islam, attributes Islam makes
the Islamists be exclusive or closed, different
perception of jihad and da’wa, the absence of the
figure who guide to the people to face the reality,
the implementation of Islamic rules still minimal,
the public’s understanding of Islam is still limited
Opportunities
Government fairly accommodating, institutions
research is neutral, there are organizations and
Islamic parties, there is a group of Islamic studies
Threats
There is a claim that Islam is inferior and Islam is
barbaric.
Based on the SWOT analysis, it builds four strategies to
overcome Islamophobia cases. They are as follows:
S t r e n g t h
Opportunity
Strategy
Islamic organizations and government cooperate
as partners, research that accommodate the
development of Islam in a social group
W e a k n e s s
Opportunity
Strategy
clear information about Islam by Islamic
organizations, clear information about the
relationship of Islam with other groups, research
by Muslim scientists who can provide information
management, research on unity, the perception of
Jihad in the present
S t r e n g t h
T h r e a t
Strategy
Build the self-image of Islam, especially at the
level of the younger generation, solve the social
problems
Ratna Istriyani and Yuliatun
15. Qijis, Volume 4, Issue 2, August 2016 215
W e a k n e s s
Threat
Strategy
Improvingthepublic’sunderstandingofIslamwith
various media, facilitating access to study Islam,
transmitting “fun” experience and understanding
about Islam, Islam attributes are not be an reason
to make justification
that a group is an exclusive
group and barbar, formulating the concept of
jihad through information technology, politics,
economics, education and social culture.
The strategy focuses on key factors both internally
and externally. SO strategy is a strategy that uses the
internal strength to take the external opportunities;
WO strategy is a strategy to help overcome internal
weaknesses by taking advantage of external forces; ST
strategy is a strategy of using force to reduce the threat
of internal/external power; and WT strategy is a strategy
with defensive tactics to reduce internal weaknesses and
avoid external threats (David in Moordingsih, 2004).
From the exposure of the above are important
points related to overcome Islamophobia, especially in
Indonesia. The media became an instrument or agent
which gives information that can rehabilitate pastures or
the negative stereotypes of Islam over the years. In other
words, the media play a role in constructing Islam through
a series of existing information. Of course, information
and analysis should be balanced. At this level the research
of educational institutions (Universities or Research
Institutions Independent) become a scientific and valid
source in order to provide insight into a series of news
related to terrorism and radicalism. The government in
cooperation with Islamic organizations in charge controls
theworkofthemassmediaandelectronic.Synergyofthese
actors (government, Islamic organizations, Institutions
Education/Research, and media) was able to minimize
the macro effects of Islamophobia as conflict and violence.

D. Conclusion
Phenomenon of Islamophobia began to plague globally,
including Indonesia. The phenomenon is increasingly booming
especially after a series of terrorist acts in the United States
in 2001 and in Indonesia after the first Bali bomb in 2002.
Accelerating the spread of Islamophobia is affected by the news
or representations of bombings that has always been associated
with forms of terrorism and involves Islam. Information or
news on terrorism repeatedly raises precisely cognition or
understanding that terrorism is always synonymous with Islam.
Thus, Islam is seen as a religion of terror, sadistic and violent.
Knowledge is a form of cognitive stereotypes that often leads to
discrimination and prejudice against Islam pragmatic
Although the media is one of the triggers outbreaks
of Islamophobia, actually media can also be an instrument
or strategy to overcome Islamophobia. The media can be an
instrument construct and rehabilitate stereotypes about Islam
during this time. The construct of resources must involve
scientific or educational or research institutions research
institutions such as universities or LIPI. Then the government in
cooperation with Islamic organizations has a role to control the
work of media in presenting the news related to terrorism and
radicalism.
