Abstract
The reality created by the media is powerful enough to create lasting images and stereotypes about groups, religions and peoples (Maslog, 1971). That the Western media is biased in issues regarding the Arab world is accepted as fact in the Middle East, though denied by reporters in the West (Baroud, 2002). In a 2002 poll of Muslim Americans, 67% said the media have grown more biased against Muslims after the terrorist attacks of 9/11 (CAIR, 2002). This study aimed to discover what narrative frames the media created of Muslims and Islam in the three months following the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
