Islamic issues is often given place in German media as well as all Western media. The history of these issues is quite old. The median of Islam and the acquisition of issues has a decisive effect on the perceptions of Western people regarding Islam and Muslims. Research conducted found that the present western media has commonly negative perceptions of Islam. Our evaluation of German media has identified the same perception. This negative perception is an important dimension to the perception of Muslim women. What is the Islam/Muslim women perception that German media present to public? What is the place and impact of this perception in general Islamic perception? What are the sources of this perception? These are important questions in terms of our topic. This article will seek answers to these questions. In process of seeking answers, research has been made over the internet, studies done on the subject topic, books and articles have been identified, open archives of journals like Focus and Der Spiegel were scanned. During the study, various doctoral thesis on the subject were found to be of serious nature, therefore were encouraged to benefit from this research. It is has been found that German media provides negative qualities concerning women's perceptions of Islam as it does for Islam.
