9th of September 2001 shocked the whole world and has resulted in enormous delimitation in the different societies and countries. There are no doubts that unexpected and instantaneous death of guiltless people we have to call as "terrorism", executors and requesters as "terrorists". But on mass-media, made hysteria and found guilty without trustworthy evidences and facts Arabian world, lays special responsibility for image creation of the present Islam and present America. There was a wave of manifestations and "pogroms" in USA right away after those events when people suffered because they were Muslims or looked like people from Middle East. Every Arabian country hypothetic put to the "black-list", "axis-of-the-evil". USA's mass-media believe that 9/11 is manifestation of Islamic fundamentalism. At the same time Islamic media have another point of few: there's no religious conflict, there's only political and economical.

There are other points of few instead strongly pronounced and too subjective American and Islamic positions. They are present by mass-media we can call comparatively independent and away-from-subjective interpretation 9/11 events. It's interesting get to know with post-USSR's mass-media thoughts and opinions about September 11, especially manifestation anti Americanism and anti-Islamism. Based on analyze of materials we are getting the following solutions:

1) There's no enormous conflict of religions
2) There's no conflict of civilizations (Eastern and Western), inasmuch as we can call present world as "the biggest conflict". We try to live in harmony and peacefully together on the one Earth and we are trying bringing to naught possibility of the Global War because it destroys human being completely.
3) At the same time exists conflict of cultures includes religious, political and economic aspects.
4) The Cultural aspect: United States tries to bring their own values and change form of social structure in Islamic countries by dint of intrusion American values meets with opposition.
5) The Economical aspect: economical system of Arabian world is very stable instead of Western besides the most part of extraction and sale of petroleum is supervised with the Islamic countries.
6) The Political end: aggressive American foreign policy and actions besides meets adequate opposition of Arabian world believes that it's expansion.

We should agree that situation we have around so-called "Islamic factor" in mass-media demands from us not only definite reflections but definite actions. As appeared we know nothing about one of the greatest world's religion. Media give us information about Catholic Church, new religions, Judaism but PRACTICALLY nothing about Islam. We are out of knowledge about HOW this people live, what are their beliefs, opinions. Instead of provoking anti Islamic sentiments from one hand and anti Americans from another, we have finally come to know the particulars of who we are, and who they are. And "peace negotiations" is mass-media responsibility unfortunately don't want to solve this conflict.
