Muslim Community Establishes $ Million TV Studio

[icyfroth]

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?

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.'
