"Muslims Must Use Media To Counter Islamophobia - Najib,"
Bernama https://www.legal-project.org/955/muslims-must-use-media-to-counter-islamophobia Excerpt: KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 7 (Bernama) -- Prime Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak urged Muslims to use the media to tell the world that Islam is a true, beautiful and attractive religion, and not one to be feared that has resulted in Islamophobia. He said this was because there were groups that had successfully used the media as a propaganda tool to intentionally and systematically tarnish Islam. "The problem becomes more serious when the propaganda becomes effective as some people start having a phobia when the word Islam is mentioned. This unfortunate situation happens due to the failure of Muslims to use the media (to correct the misconception of Islam)," he said when launching the country's first Islamic television station, TV Al Hijrah, at Kompleks Pusat Islam, here Tuesday.... Najib said currently Muslims' media ownership was minimal and the lack of creativity of the existing Islamic media made them less attractive to the younger generation. "Muslims today must act to correct the situation. We must act to give a true picture of Islam as a sacred, beautiful and attractive religion. Hence, we need to be media-savvy to realise our objective."
