Hate mongers are not openly expressing their hate for Muslims in the media but they are now attacking Islam, the Qur'an and Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him). Since 9/11 most of the North American media, especially CNN, in the name of freedom of press, have presented one-sided biased and hateful propaganda against Muslims and Islam."
