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
