Arab Nations Defend Islam's Image
The Associated Press, Wed 24 Oct 2001
MANAMA, Bahrain (AP) — Six Persian Gulf nations agreed Wednesday to
launch a media campaign to combat the spasm of anti-Arab sentiment
that has followed the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on the United States.

The oil-rich group proposed setting up an English-language satellite
television channel promoting a better image of Islam and Arabs to
viewers in the West.
``We are putting our efforts together as ministers to reach all media
in the Western world to explain our position that all Muslims and all
Arabs are against terrorism,'' Bahraini Information Minister Nabil
al-Hamer said after chairing a closed-door meeting of information
ministers from the Gulf Cooperation Council.
Some Muslims complain they have been the victims of a backlash in the
West since the Sept. 11 suicide jet attacks on the World Trade Center
and the Pentagon.
The hijackers identified by authorities are all Arabs, and the United
States blames Osama bin Laden of masterminding the assault through a
global terrorist network that recruits Islamic militants to attack
U.S. targets around the world.
Violence since Sept. 11 has been blamed for hundreds of reported
attacks in the United States on Muslims and Arab-Americans.
Hamad Ali al-Sulayti, assistant secretary-general of political affairs
for the Gulf Cooperation Council, accused Western media of connecting
Islam with terrorism.
The Gulf Cooperation Council is a loose political and economic
alliance of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman and the United
Arab Emirates.
Abdulrahman al-Attiyah, Qatar's undersecretary for foreign affairs,
praised his country's Al-Jazeera satellite television station, which
has emerged as a key opinion maker because of its independent
editorial policy — a rarity in the region.
It also has become known for airing taped statements by bin Laden, and
by the spokesman for bin Laden's organization, al-Qaida.
