Abstract

After the era of colonization, France began to receive immigrants from some African and Middle-East countries. They immigrated in France for several reasons such as work, education, quality of life, etc. As they are minority, they suffer from discrimination as experienced also Jews, Black people, Gay, and other minority communities. This tension attributed to the Muslim has increased after the Iraqi revolution, the case of Salman Rushdie, and the 9/11 phenomenon in the United States. These events show that the phenomenon of Islamophobia is changing French society. The most shocking tragedy happened in 2015 and 2016 when terrorists slaughtered more than 200 people in Paris and Nice. We assume that the media should give calm to society compared to the tragedy. But in truth it also diffuses the discourse speech of Islamophobia by using negative words, as jihadists, attributed to Muslim. Using the framing discourse analysis of Robert M. Entman, our research speaks of discourse of three French media reporting the terrorist attack in Paris and Nice. We assume that the majority of French Media uses negative words to diminish the image ofradical Islam who will grow up in the Middle-East countries. In addition, they show that Islamism in France is not the same with that of the terrorist
