Katja Drechsler, senior associate at the Academy of World Religions at the University of Hamburg, the media says that promote Islamophobia in the West, but we must not forget nor political power sharing.
"Unfortunately, today there is more bad news to come and related to Islam and Islamic countries, such as minority or neglect of alternative views in Pakistan or in Saudi Arabia. We have news for terrorism, since the Taliban until the September 11 militant group Islamic State. In addition, we hear stories of forced marriages, polygamy and cutting of female genitals, "says Drechsler in an interview for Radio Free Europe.
She says the media "always report only the horrors that occur and very little for the good and positives".
"It is important that the public be told that Western Muslims live their religion differently and it depends on many factors. But real life and media presentation of this life are miles apart. It is important to personalize things, talk about normal life of people in Islam ".
"On the approximation of the Christian world and the Muslim should focus more on the similarities and differences will see that there are great," said Drechsler./ShikoNews
