Media Islam; Media's Approach Towards ISlam in the Framework of Edward Saeeds Theory of Post-colonialism

Media-Islam: Media Approach towards Islam within the framework id Post-colonialism Theory of Edward Saeed. Although the Post-colonialism Theory has its roots in the thoughts of famous scholars such as Gandhi, Régis Debray, and Frantz Fanon, yet it was Edward Saeed the Palestinian scholar who opened a new chapter in this field. It was in this context that a new reading of relations between Islam and West was created in the light of Post-colonialism Theory. This issue was specially important for the third world countries which were newly released from direct colonialism. In parallel with the decline of ideologies in general and Communism in particular, the low-level movements and the minorities made new attempt to secure a the place an position they assume they deserve. It was in this context that political and cultural theory borrowing from post-modern and post-Structural discourse encountered a serious transformation. It is the assumption of this paper that a major part of the western dominance in cultural sphere is due to the media-system. It will be shown in this article that how the media is virtually talking on behalf of Islam. Answering this question that "who are the producing the so called real discourse oh behalf od Muslim World" the idea of Media-Islam will be analyzed. The methodology used in this article is that of Descriptive-analytical and it had the Post-Colonialism as its theoretical framework.
