Muslim Community Establishes $ Million TV Studio

icyfroth — Tue, 17 Mar 2015 20:06:48 GMT

Members of Sydney's Muslim community have set up a $1 million television studio to counter the mainstream media's treatment of Islam in Australia.

From its base in western Sydney, the One Path Network films and edits videos for its YouTube channel, including interviews with local sheikhs about Islamic teachings and current affairs.

Mr Majanni said the studio was funded by community donations and staffed by a team of more than 20 volunteers.

A range of prominent Muslims including the grand mufti of Australia, Dr Ibrahim Abu Mohamed, and Associate Professor Mohamad Abdalla from Griffith University have endorsed the project, appearing in a promotional video.

Supporters include a range of Muslim clerics from moderate to conservative.

Known as a dawah initiative, the studio aims to spread the word of Islam among Muslims and non-Muslims alike.

Funded by Community Donations? A large part of that community is on some sort of Government benefit!

What a total bleep! There are many very wealthy Muslims in Australia. Do you have any reliable source that would indicate that Muslims are more likely to b on benefits than any other group in Australia?

I don't think so, what did you base that accusation on?

the CEO of AP gets paid way too much imo so does the CEO of Qantas, the only thing they have in common is that they're both CEO's. religion or race just doesn't figure into it

You should have posted them then. How are readers of this thread supposed to know what they state?

It is an accusation, until it is accompanied by statistics (Australian, recent, reliable source) to show the % of Muslims on benefits as the OP refers to. Statistics would need to around 40-50% or more Aust Muslims are on benefits to prove the OP's claim.

Another indicator the statement in the opening post is an undisciplined thought bubble is ' some sort of Govt benefit.'

I agree.

Qantas wasn't doing so well financially either, and the CEO still got $m's in salary and bonus.

I guess people here know more about running big companies/corporations than the appointed CEO's.

Some new CEO's are brought into try and pull a company back from the brink of collapse. They get paid high salaries to do so.

Stats also shows Spain's unemployement rate in excess of 23%,so it must be the same here.

they're not my stats

i dont have as much free time as you seem to;

i'm sure you can do your own research.

i'll be back later to see if you found anything to

disprove the claim in the OP.

am*3 - the stats are relevant because they are

similar (you could help debra with the research)

Re: Muslim Community Establishes $ Million TV Studio

If 5000 people donate $200 - there you have $1m total donations. 470,000+ Muslims in Australia

Re: Muslim Community Establishes $ Million TV Studio

debra9275 — Wed, 18 Mar 2015 01:10:55 GMT

So there are no stats to back up your claim then?

I don't have to prove anything, it wasn't my claim

Good point.

Has Spain's unemployment rate gone down a lot, it was 50% not that long ago?. At least Spain's unemployed (and those from other EU countries, can move to other EU countries or UK and look for work. Start off in cleaning jobs till they learn English good enough to move on to a cafe/restaraunt job, study if that is their aim, with income from their job to support themselves.

You made the claim, you provide the stats. If you are familiar enough with them to mention them, you must be able to find them quick enough to post.

They are not directly relevant to the OP's claim... other countries in EU don't have the same economy etc as Australia, nor the same Govt benefit structure.

Australian statistics are needed.

I have no intention of doing research with anyone. If I mention statistics I post the link to them at the same time. Simple.

At the moment they are not anybody's stats, because nobody has seen them. I would actually be very surprised if any stats exist in Australia showing unemployment rates by religion. Do we know whtat the unemployment rate is for Jews, Budhists, or Atheists?

It is the OP that needs to prove her claim/accusation in the opening post. Until then, the claim is just rumour.

$1m is not a lot of money to raise in a community of near 500 000 people. Only reason to make that comment is to show anti-Muslim sentiments.
