Abstract
:
Islam has been questioned by the Western Media as a religion of violence and terrorism after the
US September 11, 2001 Terrorist Attacks because Osama Bin Laden has cited Islamic motives for his illicit
attacks. The news stories of the radical Islamic issues in media have been filled and published and it has
becoming an international’s issues. Even local media also put this issue in their agenda. Now days, the
Media have been used as the powerful instrument to shape people’s agenda, and to shape people’s
perspective in any issues. The Western media after 9/11 terrorist attacks has portrayed Islam as a religion
of violence, terrorism and intolerance and the Muslims as terrorists and militants. This paper examines the
concept of Jihad in Islam and negates that Jihad and Terrorism concepts in Islam are entirely different and
can’t be intermixed.
