Abdur Rahman ibn Yusuf Mangera – The Media Influence – How Propaganda Shapes Perceptions of Islam

There are people today who get their knowledge first hand from

media. There have been cases when I've discussed with someone when a

current contentious issue on a subject and they are coming and

you could tell that the where they're coming from is from the

media propaganda. They think Islam doesn't have an answer because of

the spin the media puts on it. So when they hear a hadith that

simplified, that simply answers the question

that obviously the person who wrote that article, who presented

that show, did not take into consideration. This is how many

Muslims are being confused today.

But it's only when

people other than scholars also become a bit more scholarly and a

bit more educated that you can

you can get this through to people like that.
