Osiris Framed By The Mainstream News Media

The mainstream news media and government has, at times, created a curious association to the ancient Egyptian deity Osiris through the naming of certain entities. One notable example is the term “Isis” being used to refer to the Islamic State (ISIS). This linguistic connection ties the terrorist organization to the ancient Egyptian goddess Isis, who, in mythology, is the partner of Osiris.

Isis is a significant figure in ancient Egyptian mythology, known for her role in resurrecting Osiris after he was murdered by his brother Set, and then giving birth to the Sun God Horus (often compared to Jesus). She is often associated with life, healing, and protection. However, the international use of the term “Isis” to refer to a terrorist group creates an inappropriate cultural and symbolic link to the mythological narrative.

IIt’s crucial to highlight that the media intentionally took the opportunity to associate Osiris with the terrorist group ISIS through ancient Egyptian mythology, and this was specifically done to frame Osiris. During global news coverage, the media encounters minimal resistance and seized the opportunity to subtly present Osiris as the partner of the Islamic State. The following meme quotes reveal underlying intentions.
