MEDIA EFFECT ON PEOPLE – STEREOTYPE
One of the most common causes of racism is stereotypes. Through all the sources of mass media such as television, radio, the internet, music, book and other social media outlets.... The potential for stereotypes to build are of a definite possibility when a person, especially one that is very young, is exposed to stereotypes of a specific group especially Muslims always being porttrayed negatively , unjustly all the time, then viewers or readers will assume all Muslims are that way. Likewise, when a source is constantly displaying negative things about a particular race, then that will affect the overall opinions as well. This is also inline with the media representation theory which state that media tend to only project one version of reality, not reality itself and how a particular group of people or person identities are being presented to the audience.
We need to challenge and hold accountable the bias in the media by writing , educating and bringing awareness
to Islamophobia machine that seeks to dehuminize Muslims . The good news is American are good people once they found out about all biased steeotypes of media, they are more tollerant and understanding, we would like to thank each and everyone that stands for the truth .

California Recognizes August as Muslim Appreciation and Awareness Month
by
The California State Assembly voted Monday to pass a resolution that officially recognizes August 2016 as Muslim Appreciation and Awareness Month.
The resolution comes at a time of increased anti-Muslim rhetoric, according to a recent civil rights report compiled by the California chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).
HR-59, introduced by California Assemblymember Bill Quirk in June after Quirk was approached by a community activist on the issue, was officially passed Aug. 1 with bipartisan support.
"Muslim Americans have made contributions to education, science, entertainment and medicine both nationally and globally," Quirk told NBC News in an email. "Unfortunately, the Muslim community has been, and continues to be, the target of harassment, discrimination and assaults."
He added, "It is appropriate to acknowledge and promote awareness of the myriad invaluable contributions of Muslim Americans in California and across the country, and extend to them the respect and camaraderie every American deserves."
CAIR-Sacramento Valley Executive Director Basim Elkarra told NBC News that the passing of the resolution represented a day of hope for the Muslim-American community. He explained that Muslims contribute greatly to the diversity of the nation and the state, carrying various key roles throughout the state of California as engineers, doctors, law enforcement officials, and more.
"Muslims participate in every facet of life in California and for them to be appreciated for their contributions ... it's very hopeful for the community when the community is under siege in this election cycle," Elkarra said.
Earlier this week, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump suggested that Ghazala Khan, the mother of a U.S. Army captain who was killed in Iraq, did not speak on stage at the Democratic National Convention because "maybe she wasn't allowed to have anything to say." In response, Muslim-American women on Twitter began using the hashtag #CanYouHearUsNow to challenge stereotypes and anti-Muslim rhetoric.
