Notice that, presently, at least 70-80 percent of people in Muslim countries are committed to religious principles and beliefs. If you investigate Islamic countries, you will come to realize that their people are committed to and believe in their religion. To what extent are radio and television networks in such countries--which should represent the people's wishes and demands--committed to religion?

There is a shocking misrepresentation of the people in their media. 70 to 80% of the people are religious; but, radio and television networks, in such countries, do not move in a religious direction, and they do not reflect the people's demands. This is very strange. They reflect the same ideas that the dangerous media empire of arrogance desires. Today, the front of arrogance has created a vast media empire. They distort and cover up factual news, and they tell lies to promote their policies. Meanwhile, they constantly claim that they take an impartial position. The English radio claims that it is impartial, but they are lying. They are not impartial at all. They move in the exact direction of arrogant and colonialist policies -- whether American or English policies.

Audio and visual media, news agencies, and the complicated means of mass communication, that exist today, are all at the service of their [The front of arrogance] policies. They are at the service of arrogance, Zionism, and their goals. We must do something against this dangerous empire, and act against this large media mafia that's in the hands of American and Zionist capitalists and cartels. What you are active in is the start of a movement; therefore, it should be pursued and strengthened on a daily basis. You should bring your partners and colleagues into the arena as well.

By Allah's favor, a good future is awaiting us. I will tell you, despite the boastful behavior of arrogance and the great efforts that arrogance and its allies and followers are carrying out, in financial, military, political, and secured areas, the future belongs to Islam in the region and in the entire world of Islam. By Allah's favor, Islam's dignity and power will increase everyday. Of course, it is necessary to show diligence. Thankfully, there are many mujahid men, women, and youth in the entire world of Islam. Therefore, we should appreciate their value: we should use our slogans, our gestures, our words and our activities in this direction. If we do so, Allah the Exalted will definitely help: "If you help the cause of Allah, He will help you and make firm on your feet." [The Holy Quran, 47: 7]


Greetings, and may Allah's mercy and blessings be upon you.
