The negative image of Islam and Muslims is becoming ever more pervasive around the world. This situation, attributed largely to distorted and inaccurate reporting in the media, has worsened since 9/11, 2001. Muslims are thus put under a constant barrage of negative representation and stereotyping, especially in the Western media. As a result of this negative spotlighting, Muslims around the world feel victimized putting in jeopardy all initiatives for promoting intercivilizational dialogue and understanding. It is hoped that this International Conference on the Representation of Islam and Muslims in the Media (ICORM08) will succeed in examining the problematics of the noted communication scenario and open up new pathways to solution.
