Why Leveson Inquiry Must Investigate Treatment Of Muslims At The Hands of British Media

By Sikander Hayat

English press’s hatred against the Muslims who are living in United Kingdom must be investigated in great detail. The press spew venom at Muslims anytime it wants. You have to be blind to not see the openly biased coverage of any events involving Muslims.
By providing circumstantial evidence and conducting a media trial for weeks on end is not justice but a try to imprint on the minds of general British public that “these guys” are cheats and in the process sow the seeds of mistrust among different communities of Britain. They did the same against the Jews just before the Second World War. Same is true for Muslims now. Let us see if the consequences of this hate mongering are different this time around because the history does repeat itself, sometimes.

This situation must be investigated by the Leveson Inquiry in great detail. 

According to Wikipedia "The Leveson Inquiry is an ongoing public inquiry into the culture, practices and ethics of the British press following the News International phone hacking scandal. On 6 July 2011, Prime Minister David Cameron announced to Parliament that a public government inquiry would convene to further investigate the affair. On 13 July, Cameron appointed Lord Justice Leveson as Chairman of the inquiry, with a remit to look into the specific claims about phone hacking at the News of the World, the initial police inquiry and allegations of illicit payments to police by the press, and a second inquiry to review the general culture and ethics of the British media". 

Will this enquiry look into the constant lies that British Media in 

its entirety has spread about

 Muslim in general & British Muslims in particular. Since 

11 
September 2001, there has not been a day gone when there 

has not been a bad story about Muslims. Muslim organizations

 have not been strong enough to challenge the constant lies in

 the media. I do not deny that there must have been some

 cases where they have reported correctly 

but overwhelming majority of these stories have been 

fabricated. 

There might have been one or two newspapers like Independent

 who have been less responsible of this character 

assassination of a community but on the whole everyone has 

played their part. 

Lord Justice Leveson must ask this question of the 

people responsible for the editorials and invite Muslim

 community and ordinary members of the community whose 

lives have been destroyed by this witch hunt.
