Many have questioned the effects of television and other media on the perceptions of the viewing public. It is certainly known that intense use can lead to numerous problems of both a mental and physical nature. Islamophobia is the extreme fear of Islam and Muslims, and it began soon after the devastating events of September 11th. While this event is significant and undoubtedly occurred, scapegoating is taking a vicious form in America and other countries as well. Misinterpretations of Muslims showing numerous negative effects are described. The theoretical framework to help guide this study would include cultivation theory, which posits that avid viewers develop complete trust and loyalty towards what they watch through the screen. This article will show the effects of the media and the distortions and lies they create, which undoubtedly harm Muslims and other groups as well. The media has historically been primarily concerned with negative issues and stories. Viewers watch news and other mediated programs to gain understandings and concepts about the current location of worldly events. Since it has been in place, the media has abused its power in numerous ways. One of these would include the misconceptions of Muslims. The fear associated with this distinct group is called Islamophobia. Although it is occurring nationwide, Americans are the most affiliated with the said phobia. Such distortions exaggerate real events such that people are manipulated into a certain way of thinking. The events produced by 9/11 and the ISIS attacks are what fuel the media and allow such exploitations to persist (Saeed, 2007). Generally, cause and effect relationships have effects that also conclude from the intended effects. Media interpretations are the cause of Islamophobia, and cultivation theory can help prove this. Many people debate when Islamophobia first emerged. There was certainly some degree of fear before 9/11, even if it was minimal. However, after such events, hatred and discrimination exploded rapidly and irrationally. These events significantly changed the American way of life and will be forever remembered throughout history. Even during the Trump administration, the in-depth debate about borders and Islam maintained popular themes related to hierarchy, and still does today (Poudret, 2016). While the events of 9/11 provided adequate justification for such fears, singling out Muslims as scapegoats is grossly unfair. Under no circumstances should the actions of a few determine the characteristics and motivations of an entire population. Since there are very few Muslim-imposed terrorist portrayals, the media uses 9/11 and ISIS as main points of interest. The way Islamophobia propaganda is used in the media has political dimensions. This has been used extensively in the current presidential campaign and many previous ones. The Middle East was a very popular topic in both Hilary and Donald's campaigns. These campaigns and debates were also advertised on news stations, radio stations and YouTube channels. Each candidate took turns discussing moves to fight ISIS and implement strict border control. Although most people are unaware of the negative effects of these perceptions displayed in presidential campaigns, many conclude (Furjimura, 2016). Fujimura (2016) stated, “Many of my interviewees said that the media is playing a huge role in influencingnegatively on people's lives. perception on Muslims. When asked how recent terrorism and the emergence of ISIS have affected the way people view Islam and Muslim students, one interview participant said, “They have affected people negatively, Due to the enormous amount of media attention focused on Muslim terrorists, people have begun to subconsciously relate Muslims to terrorists” (Fujimura, p. 2, 2016). SO not only does the media cause Islamophobia, but the effects are felt by Muslims everywhere. One might question the media's ability to brainwash the minds and perceptions of millions of viewers, and the issue can, to some extent, be explained by cultivation theory. Cultivation theory was created by George Gerbner during the mid-1960s. In writing this theory he assumes that the more television one watches, the more likely they are to believe everything they see on said channels. These ideas emerged when media effects were first studied. Research on the effects of perception was considered very significant after the development of television. High-frequency viewers have extreme difficulty deciphering which parts of television are true and which are false, so they simply believe whatever is presented. Which seems easier to them. In this way, however, these spectators have a very different view of the world, more corrupt and violent in nature (Mass Communication Theory, 2013). High-frequency observers do not understand why such programs would deceive them about the circumstances of the world, thus following every story and addressing nothing by any stretch of the imagination. Even being around like-minded people can only increase this problem. Since let's be honest, numerous people take part in this type of conduct, millions of people tune into news stations as a daily program and take advantage of these legislative elements to decide reality for them. Such observers are said to "develop" their behaviors in the belief that a world characterized by the media is a genuine representation of the real world. Numerous dangerous circumstances can emerge from the belief without factual confirmation, as the results have appeared in numerous areas. Instead of personally adapting to a relationship or mixing with people, these viewers will construct all clarifications and beliefs in light of the data shown accessible on TV, radio or modern media. Not only are such media structures unjustifiable, but deceptive in nature. (Mass Communication Theory, 2013). These beliefs and representations consider it normal to abuse people who fall into negative representations. As we can see, cultivation theory clearly helps explain the context of Islamophobia, which mimics a cause and effect relationship. As mentioned, 9/11 and ISIS are real events and circumstances, however these extremists, such as Osama Bin Laden, and ISIS members involved in massacres and terrorist acts do not reflect Islam in the slightest. These people are characterized as radicals, they translate the Quran in impossible ways, they have so far surpassed the truth, they are manipulators and will remain determined until the end. Religious intentions are what warrant, yet the Quran never makes any concessions to mass killings like these. The word Islam means peace and peace is a fundamental standard or norm for this religion. Through mutilation and false embellishment, these government agencies have ultimately produced a revolting image of Islam. So, now
