1 | United Kingdom: #BlameTheMuslims Twitter Hashtag Spins Out of Context | ANGLETERA:#BlameTheMuslims Tenifototra Tao amin'ny Twitter Nivaona Tamin'ny Tokony Ho Izy |
2 | Sanum Ghafoor, who goes by the Twitter handle @Strange_Sanum, is a 19-year old Muslim student in the UK. | Sanum Ghafoor, izay mandeha ao amin'ny Twitter amin'ny @Strange_Sanum, dia silamo 19 taona ary mpianatra ao Angletera. |
3 | Aggravated at how Muslims were immediately accused for any act of violence, especially following last week's Oslo attacks, Sanum let out steam by tweeting with the hashtag #blamethemuslims. | Tezitra amin'ny fanondroana avy hatrany ny Silamo ho tompon'antoka amin'ireo herisetra maro isan-karazany, indrindra fa ilay asa fampihorohorona tao Oslo tamin'ny herinandro lasa teo iny, nanao tora-po tamin'ny fibitsihana tamin'ilay tenifototra #blamethemuslims (an'ny silamo ny tsiny) i Sanum. |
4 | With dash of satire and lots of sarcasm, Sanum posted the following tweets: | Miaraka aminà tsindrom-paingotra sy sangy zary tenany, nandefa izao bitsika manaraka izao i Sanum : |
5 | @Strange_Sanum: Here we go again… lets blame Muslims for everything that goes wrong in the world. | @Strange_Sanum : Io indray isika…azarao amin'ny Silamo daholo izay zava-dratsy miseho eto amin'ity tany ity. |
6 | She continued on to post a number of tweets using the #blamethemuslims hashtag: | Mbola notohizany tamin'ny famoahana bitsika maromaro nampiasa ny tenifototra #blamethemuslims : |
7 | @Strange_Sanum: I don't have a job. | @Strange_Sanum : Tsy manana asa aho. |
8 | #blamethemuslims | #blamethemuslims |
9 | The hashtag was adopted amongst her friends and followers, reaching high levels of participation which eventually caused the term to trend locally in the UK, and later globally. | Nofinidin'ireo namany sy mpanaraka azy ilay tenifototra izay lasa nampiasain'ireo namany sy ireo mpanaraka hafa, nahatratra taham-pandraisana anjara avo dia avo izay nahatonga ilay lohahevitra nironana be tao Angletera, ary manerana izao tontolo izao tato aoriana. |
10 | As we tend to see with topics that reach such a wide array of audiences, it was wholly taken out of context, leading to a plethora of frustrated users. | Satria efa zary mahazatra antsika ny mahita lohahevitra iray mipariaka lavitra be toy izany eny am-pototsofin'ireo mpihaino, mahagaga fa efa mivaona amin'izay zava-niseho ny fampiasàna azy, nitarika ho amin'ny fahasorenan'ireo mpampiasa Twitter tanteraka. |
11 | Some users sent Sanum hate messages and even death threats, while others took the hashtag seriously, and posted accusations towards Muslims. | Nandefa hafatra fankahalàna ho an'i Sanum, eny fandrahonana ho faty mihitsy aza, ireo mpampiasa Twitter sasany, raha nandray am-po ilay tenifototra, ary nampakatra lahatsoratra miampanga ireo Silamo. |
12 | Conversation spun out of control, keeping the topic trending, as more users posted their thoughts and frustrations. | Tsy voafehy intsony ny fifanakalozan-dresaka, nahatonga ilay lohahevitra ho malaza be, satria marobe ireo mpampiasa no mandefa ny eritreriny sy ny fahasorenan'izy ireo. |
13 | On her blog, Clare Neruda describes the irony of how people misinterpreted Sanum's original motivation: | Tamin'ny bilaoginy, Clare Neruda dia nanoritsoritra ny esoeso momba ny tsy fahazoan'ireo olona ny tian'ny Sanum hahatongavana tany amboalohany: |
14 | Unfortunately it seems as though rather a lot of people just aren't getting the joke. | Indrisy fa tahàka ny heverin'ny olona ho tena izy ireny. |
15 | There have been many calls for twitter to ban the TT (and a strange amount of people who consider twitter's allowing of the trend to be particularly unfair in relation to the recent banning of #justinbieber) and a number of people have voiced fears concerning possible repercussions. | Nisy antso marobe ho an'ny Twitter ny amin'ny hanesorana ny TT (ary betsaka ny olona no gaga amin'ny famelàn'ny twitter an'io tenifototra io hivoaka kanefa ny tenifototra mahakasika an'i Justinbieber amin'ny #justinbieber dia nosakanana) ary maro ny matahotra ny mety hisian'ny voka-dratsin'izao zavatra izao. |
16 | However the majority of the people who have utilised the hashtag seem to have done so purely to vent their anger about the perceived racism of the trend, without researching its origins before forming an opinion. | Na izany aza, ny ankamaroan'ireo olona nampiasa io tenifototra io dia toa nanao izany fotsiny hanohoana hatezerana noho izy io toa lohahevitra nanindrahindra fanavakavaham-bolonkoditra, ka tsy nanadihady ny fototra niaingany akory alohan'ny hanehoana hevitra. |
17 | Irony upon irony; the very thing Sanum seems to have been satirising has been replayed by millions in their misguided attempts to rid the (twitter)world of an ‘evil' that is no more than a product of misinterpretation. | Eso miampy eso; ny zavatra izay tena noheverin'i Sanum hokianina tamin'ny fomba fandrabirabiana no vao mainka naverin'ireo olona an-tapitrisany maro izay diso tamin'ny ezaka nataon-dry zareo hamongorana ny ‘ratsy' eo anivon'ny tontolo (twitter) izany dia tsy inona fa vokatry ny tsy fahazoana ny tian-kambara. |
18 | And here's a quote from Nabeela Zahir‘s interview of Sanum: | Ity misy fitanisàna avy amin'iny tafatafa nataon'i Nabeela Zahir tamin'i Sanum : |
19 | Sanum articulated that the popularity of the trend highlighted an underlying need to discuss the way in which Muslims are portrayed, as well as the rising popularity of right wing extremism throughout Europe. | Sanum dia nanambara ny laza azon'ilay lohahevitra dia nanasongadina filàna misoko ny tokony hiresahana ny fomba fijery sy fandraisana ny Silamo, hatramin'ny fiakaran'ny lazan'ny elatra farany havanana manerana an'i Eoropa. |
20 | The reporting around the Oslo attacks, were part of a wider trend of portraying Muslims as aggressors and religious fundamentalists “After 9/11 there was a shift in the way Muslims were referred to in the media, and how they were reported on. | Ny tatitra manodidina ilay asa fampihorohorona tao Oslo, dia anisany nampahazo vahana ny lohahevitra fanenjehana ny Silamo ho toy ny mpamono olona sy manaraka finoana mahery setra sy tsy mahay mandefitra. “Taorian'ny 9/11 dia niova tanteraka ny fomba fijerin'ireo mpampahalala vaovao ireo Silamo, ary ny fomba fitatitra azy ireo. |
21 | It became an issue about Islam, rather than deranged individuals who justify violence with religion. | Lasa olana mahakasika ireo Silamo izany, tahaka ny olona tsy marary saina miezaka manamarina ny herisetra amin'ny alalan'ny resaka finoana. |
22 | It's continued ever since.” | Dia nitohy foana izany nanomboka teo.” |
23 | Sanum hopes through comedy and satire she is able to show that there is more to Muslims than terrorism, by showing that Muslims can be funny too she believes people can begin to overcome misunderstandings about Islam. | Manantena i Sanum fa amin'ny alalan'ireo hanihany sy fanarabiana dia ho afaka maneho izy fa ny Silamo tsy hoe fampihorohoroana, tamin'ny fanehoana koa fa mba afaka mihanihany koa ny Silamo ary mino izy fa hanomboka hiala ao an-tsain'ny olona ny tsy fahatakarana ny Silamo. |
24 | Twitter has become an indispensable tool for information dissemination. | Lasa fitaovana tena ilaina amin'ny fanapariaham-baovao ny Twitter. |
25 | But as we talk about the need for information verification, we must remember that context, or lack thereof, is another critical attribute that can easily get lost. | Nefa noho isika miresaka ny tokony hanamarinana ny vaovao, tokony ho tsaroana hatrany fa ny vanim-potoana nisiany, na koa ny tsy fahampiana avy amin'io antony io, dia mari-pamantarana iray hafa mora very. |
26 | #blamethemuslims is an example of an information cascade that starts with good intentions, and ends up being counterproductive. | #blamethemuslims dia ohatra iray amin'ny vaovao mikoriana izay manomboka amin'ny fikendrena zava-tsoa, ary niafara amina vokatra tena mifanohitra amin'izay nandrasana |
27 | That said, it did a great job at maintaining people's attention on the topic. | @Strange_Sanum : mihoatra ny lohako ity lohahevitra malaza be ity. manasogadina ny halehiben'ireo fiheveran-diso mahakasika ny fianakaviambe Silamo. |
28 | @Strange_Sanum: this trending topic is bigger than me. its highlighting a growing prejudice against the muslim community. | |
29 | Keep posting hashtags. But whatever you do, think twice before you #blamethemuslims. | Tehirizo alefa io tenifototra io. kanefa na inona na inona ataonao, avadibadiho ny lela vao miteny hoe #blamethemuslims. |
