00:00:03 --> 00:00:07
			And unfortunately we Muslims we
are very poor. We are Miskin when
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:12
			it comes to the media. What we
print to one color job to color
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:16
			job Islamic voice and what we
Muslims we print 80,000 100,000
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:17
			Peanuts.
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:21
			Unfortunate unfortunately we
Muslims we are very backward as
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:25
			far as media is concerned. Wallah
we are very backward as far as
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:28
			media is concerned and
Alhamdulillah the Islamic Research
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:31
			Foundation. Let's take the
initiative to print books
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:37
			the Quran, modern science, the
concept of God and major world
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:40
			religions, the misconceptions
about Islam. All these books they
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:43
			are printed, maybe it may have
reached a million copies, but yet
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:46
			it is peanuts as compared to the
Christian missionaries. And we had
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:50
			the example of Jimmy Swaggart, you
might have heard the person Jimmy
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:50
			Swaggart,
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:56
			he was a greatest televangelists
of his time. How much was his
		
00:00:56 --> 00:01:00
			budget? His annual budget was $400
million.
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:05
			He required a million dollars a
day to keep his head above water.
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:09
			I doubt how many Muslim
organizations how many Islamic
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:12
			organizations have a million
dollar monthly budget? I doubt I
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:16
			don't know if any. And we have the
example of Sheikh Ahmed Deedat.
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:21
			He was only educated to sixth
grade yet he took the entire
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:25
			question dumb single handedly are
one Sheikh Emma D that was
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:29
			sufficient for the entire
Christianity. Unfortunately, the
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:33
			budget that he had, it was very
small. And they had special
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:37
			organizations that full wings
doing research on Sheikh Emma DDOT
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:39
			how to defeat him how to attack
him
