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!

Would the Seventh Day Adventists or Jehovah Witnesses or the Anglican Church get the same attention if they decided to have their own self-funded TV studio manned by volunteers?

They do already.

get the same attention?

Maybe her account has been hacked and she didn't write it. I was surprised at that comment as well. It didn't really have anything to do with the content of the article quoted either.

I thought that quite a while ago and suggested that it may nero-???? ghost writing on her ID. The comments are not  like the old icey before nero-???? left the scene.

Or perhaps icey has become radicalised by the extreme right?

What horrible things?

That a large part of the muslim community is on some welfare or another? did you not hear that Man Monis had been drawing welfare all the time he had been living in Australia? That's besides having various business enterprises running concurrently?

Did you not read about the fact that known terrorist Khaleed Sharrouf, he who took a picture of  his little son holding up the severed head of an executed Syrian soldier, was on a disability pension? Now that's what I'd call HORRIBLE!

These are benefits they're entitled to. That the Australian government allows them via it's taxpaying population.

You think these ppl are exceptions?

I don't think so.

I think, if the muslim community is funding this TV studio, then a considerable part of that funding is coming via the Aussie taxpayer.

Well that's two out of populaion of over four hundred thousand. I would not judge any group on that percentage. Nonis was the man that granted a protection visa and citzenship by the Howard Government despite the fact his home country was trying to extradite him for fraud.

There are thousand of people getting disability pensions or sickness benefits that they should not get but I don't think that they all Muslims

Ah..and there it is lol. About sums up the accusations made very sweetly.

next thing we know these muslims on wefare will be wanting a prayer room in every centrelink office!

[i-need-a-martini]

And anyway, where are all these muslims that don't work?

All I see in my area is hardworking families who happen to be Muslims. In fact, I can't even think of a single Muslms person I know who is out of work.

However I did have the misfortune of having to travel out to Mt Druitt today. There seemed to be an awful lot of bogans hanging around not doing much work. Admittedly I didn't stop to ask their religion. But an awful lot of them looked like Aussies to me. Um Mah...

[bushies.girl]

There are no Aussie muslims?  Maybe the people you saw WOULD be working if there was a job for them?
