Iran 123

Terwijl in de grote mensenwereld uitgebreid bericht wordt over de voorbereidingen van een Amerikaanse aanval op Iran, zijn de Nederlandse commerciele massamedia doorgaans verdacht stil. Waarom wordt hierover niet bericht:

Danny Schechter: 'UNDERNEWS: PEOPLE WISER ABOUT ISLAM-WEST POLITICS THAN POLITICIANS OR MEDIA

BBC - The global public believes that tensions between Islam and the West arise from conflicts over political power and interests and not from differences of religion and culture, according to a BBC World Service poll across 27 countries. While three in ten (29%) believe religious or cultural differences are the cause of tensions, a slight majority (52%) say tensions are due to conflicting interests.
The poll also reveals that most people see the problems arising fromintolerant minorities and not the cultures as a whole. While 26 percent believe fundamental differences in cultures are to blame, 58 percent say intolerant minorities are causing the conflict – with most of these (39% of the full sample) saying that the intolerant minorities are on both sides.
The idea that violent conflict is inevitable between Islam and the West is mainly rejected by Muslims, non-Muslims and Westerners alike. While more than a quarter of all respondents (28%) think that violent conflict is inevitable, twice as many (56%) believe that "common ground can be found."'
