AMERICAN MUSLIM MEDIA WATCH - 6/23/99

-----

ISLAM IN AMERICA

By: Gotham Chopra, Channel One News
(Channel One News is a private educational channel sent via satellite to
12,000 middle and high schools. Its award-winning 12-minute daily news
broadcast is seen by more than 8 million secondary school students. The
network's web site receives millions of impressions.)

-----

Excerpts:

"Straight up, I have to admit that I - like most Americans - am full of
biases. When it comes to Muslims, the same immediate images emerge in my
head: terrorists bombing the World Trade Center, or an embassy overseas,
maybe a plane or some American diner. Or maybe it's an image from the news -
even one of our Channel One News broadcasts - of Palestinian kids hurling
rocks at Israeli soldiers.

"These are the images that have somehow managed to dominate our TV screens
in American culture. When we set out to do a story on Islam in America for
Channel One News, we wanted to find a different truth...and we did."
