Abstract :
This study investigates the representation of Muslims in French mainstream media, examining how news, film, and television portrayals influence public perception and affect the self-perception of Muslim communities. Employing a qualitative, exploratory approach, the research involved in-depth interviews, focus groups, and content analysis to uncover recurring themes and biases in media portrayals. The findings reveal that Muslims are often depicted through negative stereotypes, particularly as threats, cultural outsiders, or symbols of societal discord. These portrayals reinforce harmful narratives that shape societal attitudes, fostering Islamophobia, discrimination, and exclusion. The study also highlights the internalized impact on Muslim individuals, who frequently experience feelings of alienation, stigmatization, and a diminished sense of belonging due to these media depictions. The research contributes to media studies, cultural studies, and the sociology of religion by providing empirical evidence of the role media plays in constructing social realities and minority self-identity. It offers practical recommendations for media professionals, policymakers, and advocacy groups to promote more balanced and nuanced portrayals of Muslims, encouraging a media environment that fosters inclusion and social cohesion. The study underscores the need for ongoing research, media literacy, and dialogue to address biased representations and enhance public understanding of Muslim communities.
