The second I mention the Middle East, and 'Politics' in one sentence I see peoples faces turn into all kind of strange shapes, I think I know why.
It's a heavy subject. Its touchy. Also, a lot of people (including myself) are very sensitive about it.. Maybe thats a good sign!
Maybe its about time I think about something substantial rather then visually appealing.
I started out looking at different News Channels on SKY. [ FOX NEWS (the worst!!!!!!!!) SKY NEWS (the most shallow) ALJAZEERA (the most popular and the most that i found interesting) CNN, BBC (of course)... and will soon try to find access to Israel news channels and the Arabic AlJazeera because I am told the news on it is a lot more thorough.
Also looked at websites and found startling differences in the way the news was laid out and presented. Reflecting the target audience I would presume.
This is Fox news the website... after searching for IRAQ (headlines didn't include ANYTHING about Mugabe)
CNN had a bit more information of international affairs
Also I must continue to look into History to better understand the subject. But i find myself reading a lot of clashing stories? Maybe I need to stick to one source and not keep switching.
I want to create a Documentary about the young Arab/Muslim students in London and how they feel/cope with the current events. Also I want to educate EVERYONE exactly WHY Muslims do what they do, because I have noticed a lot of misunderstanding and FALSE rumors going around about what makes a Muslim a Muslim. Especially on the subject of JIHAD. WHYY.. i think the question WHY is very important.
