News organisations should review their coverage of issues and events involving Muslims and Islam
I guess he doesn't think they've been kowtowing sufficiently. Maybe it's the recent spate of coverage about the Saudi oil ticks indicating at least some of the Brit media has grown a pair.
Some people aren't satisfied with burying their own head in the sand, but would like to make sure everyone else's is as well.

sees no common ground between Islam and the West, and that conflict between them is inevitable"No sh*t, Sherlock!!! What does this guy think 9/11, the embassy bombings, the USS Cole, etc. was about?
Didn't need a survey commissioned to prove that conflict was inevitable.

News organisations should review their coverage of issues and events involving Muslims and Islam, and should consider drawing up codes of professional conduct and style guides about use of terminology, Wrong thinking is punished, right thinking is just as swiftly rewarded. You'll find it an effective combination.

It is almost a demographic certainty that muzzies will dominate all major UK institutions within the next 30 years.
Western civilization will eventually depend entirely on the US to save it from a new Dark Age.

History tells us that every now and then, Islam has to be knocked in the head. The crusades (oooh, how politically incorrect), the expulsion of the Moors from Spain in 1492, the destruction of the Ottoman fleet at Lepanto in 1571, the defeat of the Jihadi Ottomans at Vienna in 1683, the US victory over the Barbary pirates in 1815, and finally the battle of Navarino in 1827, all show how often Islam must be put back into its place.
Now it's time to do so again, and we have to get over the fact that yes, putting the Islamists in their place constitutes, and always has constituted, a religious war. Like it or not, the world is still governed by religion, and it's just a question of which one is best (hint: it ain't Islam).

But perhaps the central question examined was whether media coverage hinders or promotes mutual understanding. No the central question is why the media should be promoting or hindering mutual understanding or anything else for that matter. I have an idea, report the news and I will draw my own conclusions. The problem (as they see it) is that despite their best efforts the majority of people have looked at the overwhelming evidence and concluded that there is a problem with Islam.

“mutual understanding” = the radical left united with Islamofascists in a temporary tactical alliance
Each thinks they can use the other to destroy capitalism and democracy and then emerge the winner. It’s analogous to when Nazis and Communists collaborated to destroy fledgling democracies and other quasi-independent governments in Germany and Eastern Europe.
The secular left ala “Red Ken” thinks it is convenient to use the Islamofascists as another weapon against humanity. Yet, in the end, radicals like Red Ken will be devoured by the Islamofascists, just as Khomeini’s regime destroyed just about all of the leftists that helped to bring it to power.

The only thing “useful” about a useful idiot like Red Ken is that there’s a chance, at least, that his idiocies will help to alarm and arouse enough rational people before it is too late....
