Expose anglais: the muslim community in the media

« INTRODUCTION : hi everyone today i will talk about the muslim community and how they are represented in the media because The media have always portrayed the Muslim community with prejudices. 1) muslim women in serie and movie i will start with muslim women in series and movie : When creators choose to place Muslim women in their television shows or movies, they repeatedly use the same stereotypical trope: a girl feels stuck and oppressed as a Muslim woman because of what is expected of her in Islam and how she moves away from her religion because of this. Her path out of this “oppression” is a boy, specifically a white one.

This boy helps her see the “light” and how there is more to life than listening to her parents and being Muslim.

This was the exact storyline of the female Muslim character in Netflix’s original Spanish show, elite we can see Nadia a muslim women who wears a hijab and when she will come to her new school.

She will have to remove it And that's where we'll see her happy and free and I find it a shame that we show the Muslim woman always in the same way ; Muslim girls are not oppressed by ther religion. Of course, some, unfortunately, do experience harassment due to familial situations or living in an environment of abuse, but that is the same for cultures and religions around the globe.

Oppression is not unique to Islam. »
