There were some talking here after the murder of Du’a Khalil Aswad. It is about western media. So I have this question: Are western media, particularly American, subjective? I mean concerning Muslims.

People around here have thoughts!

If the girl was Muslim. Killed by Muslims, for converting her religion. Or just falling in love with non-Muslim guy. If that was the case, then western media would make it a big news.

But because the murder wasn't by Muslims. And the girl became Muslim. Then it isn't important for western people and media. Westerns protect anyone converting from being Muslim. And they don't protect who becomes Muslim.

What do you think of this? How much the media, in your area, covered Aswad's story? Do you think if she was murdered by Muslims, the media of your country would cover it in more depth?

PS: Please note that I'm not happy with Iranian and Saudi regimes too. They are awful! Also Al-Jazeera news isn't perfect. Although it is doing a great job, to a point.

Thank you,
Peace,

Yes it would probably have made headline news if she was a muslim that had converted to Chritianity and was stoned to death by muslims for converting. As she wasn't, it has no real news value to most western media.

Thank you for your reply. It is sad that Aswad's story has no value to those media
