But it does take a little effort to get a more complete and accurate view of the world.
Reviewing the western mass media’s reportage of the globally-publicized spike of ‘Islamophobia’ currently surging through the USA, one encounters various flavours of opinion.
They range from well-intentioned bleating about the need to protect the rights of innocent Moslems – to the most extraordinary, extremist vilification of Islam and its adherents. A wide range of views are given expression… in true democratic style.
Well, almost all views. Absent is the analysis of authentic anti-Zionist commentators.
You won’t, for instance, hear Mark Glenn interviewed by the mainstream western media anytime soon. His message jars.
Heretically, he suggests Islamophobia is a deliberately manufactured phenomenon.
Mark believes it’s the product of some very illiberal and sectarian forces, but not Christian or ‘western’ interests in any meaningful sense.
On the contrary, he sees Islmophobia as the handiwork of Zionists, working to advance the interests of an expansionist State of Israel.
It would be nice if the western media allowed such opinions free expression. On the other hand, one can understand why they don’t. A marketeer doesn’t promote alternative brands.
Fortunately, the Iranian media doesn’t suffer such strict censorship.
Even though Mr Glenn’s views irritate the western plutocracy, Iran’s English-language news service Press TV featured him quite recently.
Here he is, interviewed by Waqar Rizvi. Mark also podcasts a regular radio show: The Ugly Truth.
