Although the Islamic media is making strides to critically analyze the political situations in regions like Darfur and Dubai, they still may be guilty of keeping things "nice, not news". Islamic journalists are instructed not to use certain words or phrases that may incite violence between religious sects, and these unspoken rules are frustrating to many journalists covering stories.
