Islam, today, is the most misunderstood religion. It bears the brunt of
misconceptions and hate propaganda.
The powerful mass media, aligned to deceitful political and corporate interests,
spreads these misconceptions virulently... worldwide.
While portraying Islam, integrity and reliability are bypassed by the media with
professional charm and finesse.
Wise and apt Islamic viewpoints are seldom covered in the mainstream media,
whereas aberrations by a few misled Muslims are highlighted.
Muslims hardly have any hold or influence on major media, especially TV. They
instead, exhibit an apologetic attitude and an inferiority complex.
Today, more 20,000 TV stations around the globe reach out to 5 billion people
worldwide. Such that TV plays a major role in shaping public opinion.
With more than US $ 400 billion invested in TV productions and distribution
alone, it is serious business laden with cut-throat competition, political
manipulations and corporate interests.
Global scale media mergers in the industry have led to limiting the viewpoints
having access to mass media, specially the Islamic viewpoint.
This scenario needs to be countered with a global reach for the truth of Islam.
As the Qur'an (Ch. 21, V. 18) advises us:
"When truth is hurled against falsehood, falsehood perishes, for falsehood
by its nature is bound to perish".
