Fariq Naik – The Media is Never Objective in Characterising People, Especially the Muslims
AI: Summary ©
The media is powerful and if a label is given to a person, they get stuck to him. The common Americas have the same message as the British, while the United States has the same message as the UK. The media uses multiple labels to portray different people and events, but the common Americas have the same message as the British.

The media is very powerful. And whatever label the media gives a
person that label gets stuck to him
and Allah subhanaw taala say in the clouds Quran it's reminder
Shabnam file a cemetery to man Katella left some behind enough's
all facade and fill all forgotten America NASA Jamia woman, yeah.
NASA Jamia if anyone kills any human being unless it'd be for
murder office petty corruption the land, it is as if he has killed
the entire humanity. And if anyone saves any human life, it is as if
you're saved the entire humanity.
I do not know of any religious scripture, where it says that if
you kill any human being it is as if you have killed the whole of
humanity. Most of the scriptures say that killing an innocent human
being is wrong. But the Glorious Quran goes a step further and says
that if anyone saves any human life, it is as if he has saved the
whole of humanity. The media says that Muslims are terrorists, what
is the meaning of the word terrorist, that is, by definition
means a person who causes terror.
And many times to different labels are given to the same person for
the same activity, about 60 to 70 years back, before India gained
its freedom, there were people who are fighting for the freedom of
the country. And these people by the British government, they will
call us terrorists. Whereas the same people by the common Indians,
they will call us freedom fighters, as patriots, same people
same activity, but to the labels.
If you agree with the view of the British government, that the
British has had the right to rule over India, then you would call
these people as terrorist. Whereas if you agree with the view of the
common Indians, that the British has had come to the trade and
there are no right to rule over us, then you would call these
people as freedom fighters as patriots, same people, same
activity, but two different labels. And you have several
examples. We had the example of the American Revolution that took
place in 1775. George Washington, he was called as status number
one. Later on, when America gets his freedom, George Washington,
he's made the president of USA, imagine terrorists number one,
he's made the president of USA. We have several such examples. We had
the example of Nelson Mandela, South Africa was ruled by the
white apartheid government, Nelson Mandela was imprisoned in Robben
islands for more than 25 years. And Nelson Mandela by the white
apartheid government was color status number one.
Later on, when the white apartheid government is thrown out, and
South Africa gets its freedom, Nelson Mandela is free. And he
gets a Nobel Prize for Peace. Imagine that is number one gets
Nobel Prize for Peace.
It was not that he was bad. Then he became good for the same
activity for which he was called as terrorists he gets a Nobel
Prize for Peace. So here we realize the media it is very
powerful. It can turn black into white white into black hero into
villain villain to hero
the media it is very powerful. And whatever label the media gives a
person that label gets stuck to him.
And Allah subhanaw taala say in the Glorious Quran it's reminder

woman Ah ha ha ha ha NASA Jamia if anyone kills any human being
unless it be for murder offers petty corruption in the land, it
is as if he has killed the entire humanity. And if anyone saves any
