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!

Is this being funded by taxpayers and should we be up in arms about it?

just in case I haven't said it (which I don't think I actually have) I think Icy is wrong

I don't have a problem if a group of society want to fund their own TV studio, especially if they are using it to condemn ISIS

"I don't have a problem if a group of society want to fund their own TV studio, especially if they are using it to condemn ISIS"

What's next for Australia then, Deb, d'you think?

Their own police force, sharia courts, army?

Are you going to be able to keep a straight face next ANZAC Day when they honour the memory of thousands of young men and women who gave their lives to preserve the Australian way of life for future generations,  while we let it be taken from us like candy from a baby?

---

Do you know what a TV studio is?

Yes I think I have a fair idea.

What the heck has a TV studio got to do with the police force, sharia courts or army?

On the surface not a lot. My question was, what will be next?

Are you going to keep a straight face and honour the Turkish people who allow the Australians to lay claim to a piece of their country every in rememberence of the Anzacs?

Again, Do you know what a TV studio is?

Yes I think I have fair idea. It's where they produce material for broadcast.

It's irrational to think a TV studio means handing the country over to anyone by any measure.

you won't find too many, dare I say any single mothers in a sharia community will you? have a good idea where they go

and if your going to play that card any woman who is raped is going to end up in the same place

unless you can find 5 men to prove that she was raped - yeah right that's a joke

and what about the girl in the news that was beaten because she had a pair of pants on under her garb

so where are these gihadist coming from out of thin air in this country

are they not your uncles and brothers and sons

and maybe you might notice them at a barbeque when your toasting your wonderful life in australia when they lead a toast with

"death to the infadels" . Is that a  joke probably a real party favourite

and do you know why australian people might imagine this is happening

because you protest too much about yourselves and as you do on this thread and everyother thread here very quick to condemn

continously slagging off at our government and our people and you would have no idea of what the people are like here because you have little intention of getting to know anyone that is not of your faith

Australia is a very tolerent nation with many different people of many different cultures that have lived in harmony for many years

and the same would be for you if you would keep your religion to your selves and not infringe or mock our lifestyle as we have seen so many times on TV

I could prattle on forever but the point of it is I am not and have never been a racist but the only way that you can live in harmony in this country if that is your agenda is to have some respect for all things that are not what you are

I'm not sure why you are addressing those remrks to me, and I have no idea where you got the idea that I am a Muslim, but I can assure you, you are mistaken. I am an Atheist and a Pom.

well it;s not just for you but how low are you going to stoop just to have your say

[debra9275]

yeah they'll be producing material to condemn ISIS and trying to stop disaffected young people from joining the death cult.. so, it's a good thing they're doing

I'm pretty sure  that is their intent after watching the documentary on Dr Jamal Rifi

Or perhaps icey has become radicalised by the extreme right?

So is it only Muslims who you think pose a risk to us by owning their own studio or should we stop the Salvos, Catholics, Anglicans and all other religions owning a studio too?
