I believe that professional media coverage of issues related to religions and beliefs is very important, especially in the Middle East, which needs to train journalists and media professionals on this matter. Incorrect media coverage may cause crises and perhaps bloody scenes, while correct professional coverage will unite society and protect it from extremism and violence.
