Covering Islam

From the Iranian hostage crisis through the Gulf War and the World Trade Centre bombing, the West has been haunted by a spectre called 'Islam'. As portrayed by the news media - and by a chorus of government, academic and corporate experts - 'Islam' is synonymous with terrorism and religious hysteria.

De la criza iraniana a ostaticilor pana la Razboiul din Golf si bombardamentul World Trade Center, Occidentul a fost bantuit de un spectru numit ,,Islam". Dupa cum este descris de mass-media - si de un cor de experti guvernamentali, academicieni si corporativi - ,,Islam" este sinonim cu terorismul si isteria religioasa.
