This study explores the traces of Western philosophy in the media's Islamophobia discourse. Islamophobia, a form of discrimination against Muslims, has deep philosophical roots that predate its theological interpretations. The media plays a significant role in spreading and reinforcing Islamophobic attitudes, often drawing on descriptions found in Western philosophical texts. The study uses document analysis to show that contemporary Western media's Islamophobic portrayals mirror those from Medieval philosophy to modern Western thought. The analysis reveals that Islamophobic discourses are influenced by philosophical ideas that have been transmitted through generations, often involving orientalist imagery and negative stereotypes. The study highlights how the media's representation of Islam and Muslims is shaped by historical and philosophical contexts, leading to a uniform and often biased perception. The research also discusses the role of Western media in perpetuating Islamophobic narratives, influenced by ideological and political factors. The findings indicate that the media's portrayal of Islam is not neutral but is shaped by a long-standing philosophical tradition that has contributed to the persistence of Islamophobia. The study emphasizes the need to recognize the philosophical underpinnings of Islamophobia and the media's role in reinforcing these biases.This study explores the traces of Western philosophy in the media's Islamophobia discourse.
