This is a link to the noterror.info website. It is an Iraqi Anti-Terrorism campaign that is broadcast throughout the Arab World on TV. The Website is in Arabic but if you have Google Chrome, it will ask you to translate it. If not, THEN GET GOOGLE CHROME. It's really interesting how they take such an extreme stance and the way in which they look to move the viewers to share the same ideas. A lot of guilt tripping and scare factors. Is this right though? Should we look to scare people in our society into sharing our viewpoint? Surely that is what terrorism is already isn't it?
However this is also a portrayal or breaking away from the stereotype, because at least the Iraqi residents are showing the world that they are fighting against the insurgents in Iraq. It is a sign that the media is changing to become more accepting of Islamic cultures. However this is still made in Iraq, the real change has to come from the Western Media.
worth keeping an eye on this blog. another media student doing a similar project.
