Islamtribune: Balancing World News and Muslim Views


With a world of mass-media and internet reaching every single household, it is becoming increasingly difficult to feed the entire human race with a single world view of global events. Anyone can easily surf the web and find out about new perspectives and ideas from around the globe. Today, some rights group and not for profit media groups are emerging to explore this single power of the internet and the highbred mass media technologies to present the facts and truths behind world views through unbiased analyses and opinion expressions. Islamtribune.com is one of such groups and sites, with its major interest in balancing world views and Muslim news with the sole aim of arriving at the truth and nothing but the truth.

It is a well known fact that totalitarian regimes especially within the Muslim world and the Middle East, are constantly engaged in relentless efforts to muffle the highbred technologies of mass media like the internet from infringing on their national or regional privacies for security , political or diplomatic reasons, while on the other hand, the western interests are seen to be exploiting the powers of the big conventional mass media corporations to tilt world views to their advantage against the interest of other regions of the globe, especially the Muslim world and the Middle East.

Ample evidences demonstrate that since the infamy of the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center; the bitter relationship between the Middle East, the Islam world and the Western powers has deepened. As a result, it is becoming clear as alleged that the western media corporations are carrying out destructive propaganda onslaught against the Middle East and the Islam World to accomplish the ulterior motive of those behind their sponsorship, by presenting Muslim views with negative connotation. To make it worst, the economic powers, financial powers and the diplomatic influence of these western mass media giants makes it very easy for them to sound louder and more colorfully real than those that are likely objective in the broadcast of Muslim views, thereby influencing world views against Muslim world.

Today, Islamtribune, a not for profit online magazine published in the United States of America, is exploiting the inherent opportunities of the new mass media platforms not only to disseminate new ideas, ideologies and perspectives to the other part of the globe, but also to balance diverse world views on events taking place in different parts of the global with the prime aim of dissecting the truth and facts behind these events by offering a truth based insight into the common views of the world
