Abstract
The cartoon caricature publications of the Holy
Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) by the Danish
Newspaper Jyllands-Posten leading to the great attack
on the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo can be
professed as a catastrophic barbarism of free speech.
However, when the media started to portray the
scenario it began to represent something larger: the
core values, culture, race and ethnicity including beliefs
and multiculturalism. However, the western media has
more or less always represented the Muslims with a
pessimistic approach. The study analyzes the
catastrophic barbarism of free speech with reference to
the attack on the satirical French magazine Charlie
Hebdo. Furthermore, it examines the holocaust denials
and role of the media in the diffusion of racism and
discrimination against Muslims in addition to the
negative framing of the Muslims in newspapers and
online versions. Moreover, the study evaluates the
effects of biased reporting on the conceit of the Muslim
community in Europe.
