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!

It's a bit like saying atheist kids from divorced parents = terrorists.

Probably about 6.4% she-ele, the same as for Christian Australians 😄

After reading the article in the OP it strikes me that it would be well worthwhile for all Australians to invest in this TV station. It could have a huge influence in countering the nutjobs who try to radicalise Muslim youth

(from the link in the OP).

Sheikh Omar El Banna from Granville's Masjid Al Noor appeared on the network to denounce the burning alive of a Jordanian fighter pilot by IS.

"This organisation is committing atrocities. It is brutal," Sheikh El Banna said.

He said the killing was not Islamic.

Yes, it is a good idea I think (for any religion) to have an offiical channel that members of that religion and anyone else seeking information about it can access.

Show up a few Daily Telegraph beat ups on the subject.

This bit could do with highlighting as well

Is it not true that a Islamic man can divorce his wife by uttering the words I divorce thee 3 times
And an Islamic woman doesn't share that privilege

I don't know - maybe you should ask a Muslim. And in Australia a Muslim woman can obtain a divorce in exactly the same way as any other woman. The same thing goes for Catholic women - even rthough the Catholic Church doesn't believe in divorce at all.

In any case, it has absolutely nothing to do with the setting up of a TV station, or who funds it.

Why would they need to when there are many wealthy Muslims in this County.
Nott surprising the flying starts they get here
Housing trust, low rent, pension for 3 bleeping wives
And 9 kids between them

Most Muslims living in this country are just ordinary family.  Most have been here for a long time, some for generations, and many have well established businesses or are professional people, and are well off.  As far as newcomers go, any benefits they receive for the 1st couple of months are no more or less than any other new arrival.
