Abstract

Abstract This paper compares media coverage to violent events in Australia and the Netherlands: the murder of filmmaker Theo van Gogh in Amsterdam in November 2004 and the “Sydney siege”, a hostage-taking crisis in Sydney in December 2014. Both events were associated with Muslim perpetrators. We analyse media coverage by three high-circulation newspapers in each country in the week after the events. Our focus is on the public representation of Muslims in the news media, as well as the broader representation of multiculturalism. We find significant differences between the public reactions in two countries. Media reporting was more nuanced in Australia than in The Netherlands, where more negative reporting on Muslims could be found.

媒体对澳大利亚和荷兰两起穆斯林行凶者暴力事件的报道

摘要本文将媒体报道与澳大利亚和荷兰的暴力事件进行了比较：2004年11月，电影制作人提奥·梵高在阿姆斯特丹被谋杀，2014年12月，悉尼发生了劫持人质危机“悉尼围城”。这两起事件都与穆斯林罪犯有关。我们分析了每个国家三家高发行量报纸在事件发生后一周的媒体报道。我们的重点是穆斯林在新闻媒体中的公众代表性，以及多元文化的更广泛代表性。我们发现两个国家的公众反应存在显著差异。澳大利亚的媒体报道比荷兰更为微妙，荷兰对穆斯林的负面报道更多。

期刊介绍： Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs is a peer reviewed research journal produced by the Institute of Muslim Minority Affairs (IMMA) as part of its publication programme. Published since 1979, the journalhas firmly established itself as a highly respected and widely acclaimed academic and scholarly publication providing accurate, reliable and objective information. Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs provides a forum for frank but responsible discussion of issues relating to the life of Muslims in non-Muslim societies. The journalhas become increasingly influential as the subject of Muslim minorities has acquired added significance. About 500 million Muslims, fully one third of the world Muslim population of 1.5 billion, live as minorities in 149 countries around the globe. Even as minorities they form significant communities within their countries of residence. What kind of life do they live? What are their social, political and economic problems? How do they perceive their strengths and weakness? What above all, is their future in Islam and in the communities of their residence? The journal explores these and similar questions from the Muslim and international point of view in a serious and responsible manner.
