On Tuesday 15th December, Channel 4 News had a story about real Muslim opinions on terrorism, Islamophobia and other topics.

The coverage was extremely fair and got real Muslim voices heard – something which is becoming rarer in general media coverage.

Here is the C4 News piece (link):

It’s important to contact C4 News for two reasons:

1. It will let C4 News know that these kind of fair, balanced pieces are liked and, more importantly, that people want to see MORE of them
2. Muslims are told to enjoin the good and forbid the bad – we shouldn’t just lobby about bad press, we should encourage good press!
