Memes produced during the campaign to counter anti-religious and racist messages can be found here.
Richard Dawkins tweeted a comparison between the Christian and the Muslim calls to prayer, the Church bells and the Adhan, calling one “nice” and the other “aggressive”. We felt this was more of an prejudiced view about Islam than a detailed auditory analysis. You can read the full article here.
Often in our work, we’ll run into people who will complain that we are “against free speech” – and that therefore we should shut up. We find it curious that they don’t see the inconsistency in their claims. It is almost as if their desire to protect free speech is more of a desire to be allowed to say whatever they want and not be challenged on it.
This meme was inspired by our Greek Media Monitoring Highlight from August. Ethical standards are an important part of journalism, and publishing unverifiable storues on your cover is probably not the best way to go around proving your paper is up to standards.
Every Christmas trolls try to make Muslims into the Grinches of today. Everything is part of a "war on Christmas", be it red coffee cups or cards that read "Happy festive season". The inability of some people to understand that they are not attacked by the fact that other people don't celebrate their holidays was worth memefying.
We were fascinated how anything can be used as a news item. This meme was inspired by our UK November Media Monitoring Highlight in whihc misleading images and wrong statistics were used to fuel anti-Muslim hatred.
This meme was made to accompany the media monitoring highlight we found in Hungary for February 2019. When a public service media channel airs interviews without proper fact-checking, this is a serious problem.
This meme was made to point out how problematic some of the narratives Katie Hopkins uses are.
This meme was made to accompany the Greek Media Monitoring Highlight form November 2019.
This meme was made to accompany the Greek media monitoring highlight from April 2019, and it mocks the self-righteousness with which a media outlet decided to embrace Islamophobia as its official editorial stance, pointing out that it makes them look more vilanesque than all-knowing.
Do you remember our article about Hungary’s propaganda like media? (If not, read it here) As soon as the election was over, reporting on migration suddenly stops. Could we interpret this as migration being used a propaganda tool?
We've already reported about the Belgian right-wing youth movement ‘Schild en Vrienden’. Now their head, Dries van Langenhove, is making our lists again. This meme was made to accompany the December Media Monitoring Highlights article from Belgium.
Read our Media Monitoring Highlight from France in June, where the word “colonisers” is used in potentially offensive way.
Zombies, ghouls, and vampires are scary, but the scariest monsters are the ones that cause real damage. Our Halloween card reminds us of that!
This meme was made to illustrate some things often said to Muslim women in western countries.
In July Origo published an article that would be funny if it wasn’t so dangerous. You can read the full story here.
This meme was made to celebrate the launch of the #VeilWithoutLabels campaign from Fundación Al Fanar para el Conocimiento Árabe. You can read more about the campaign (in Spanish) on their website.
Some of the proposed "solutions" to the "problem" of immigration sound like something straight out of an alien invasion horror movie...
In the beginning of 2018, Poland has criminalized mentioning the complicity of “the Polish nation” in the crimes of the Holocaust
Anti-religious hatred shouldn't be seen as a "style".
