Muslims in media, and media in Muslim-majority Bangladesh

Even though 90 percent of Bangladesh's population is Muslim, the brutal murder of a Muslim lawyer by the followers of a Hindu monk didn't vitiate the interreligious harmony in the country. Bangladeshi people, no matter which religion they follow, are mature enough to understand that killers are killers and the rest are brothers and sisters in humanity. Anti-Muslim media bigotry is so normalised that even Reuters initially circulated the false information that the slain lawyer was defending the Hindu leader, which the British news agency later retracted. I would like to end this essay with the following rhetorical question: how would Bangladeshi and foreign media outlets report a comparable case involving the killing of a non-Muslim lawyer?

Abstract

Even though 90 percent of Bangladesh's population is Muslim, the brutal murder of a Muslim lawyer by the followers of a Hindu monk didn't vitiate the interreligious harmony in the country. Bangladeshi people, no matter which religion they follow, are mature enough to understand that killers are killers and the rest are brothers and sisters in humanity. Anti-Muslim media bigotry is so normalised that even Reuters initially circulated the false information that the slain lawyer was defending the Hindu leader, which the British news agency later retracted. I would like to end this essay with the following rhetorical question: how would Bangladeshi and foreign media outlets report a comparable case involving the killing of a non-Muslim lawyer?
