			If a person keeps a beard, and if
he is called as a terrorist and he
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:12
			gets keeps a beard, then he will
get more reward and the media, it
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:17
			maligns Islam, it misrepresents
Islam, it presents a bad picture
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:22
			of Islam. What does the media do?
It picks up black sheep of the
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:26
			Muslim community and portrays as
though these people, they are
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:32
			exemplary Muslims, the media, it
maligned Islam, it misrepresents
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:38
			Islam. So many times the media is
responsible for presenting a bad
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:44
			and negative picture of Islam, but
we Muslims, we should not be
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:50
			affected by the media. Our main
purpose should be to follow our
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:56
			religion, and we should be proud
to be Muslims. We should not be
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:58
			afraid in order to represent our
religion.
