MPACUK: Defending Islam in the mainstream media Print E-mail
Wednesday, 27 August 2008

success.jpgWith the many misconceptions about Islam circulating in the media and among the general public, MPACUK have set out to try and remove false misunderstandings of the faith and combat Islamophobia through the most efficient way possible: by engaging with mainstream media.

Two-thirds of the British public learn about Islam through mainstream newspapers and television. There is no point of defending the faith in front of people who already know. Therefore we need to reach out to the wider non-Muslim community through the most effective process.

No other Muslim organisation in Britain is more active than MPACUK in defending Islam in the mainstream media and making sure Muslims wake up, clean up and stand up. Here is a taster of MPACUK in the mainstream media:

This is a very good way in breaking down barriers and ridding misconceptions of Islam. Well Done MPACUK!

More Muslim organisations need to be following MPACUK's lead. This is a great initiative to inform disgruntled youth about steps they can take to fight Islamophobia in a non-violent and legal way.

Maybe its cos you have no grass roots mass support (cos of weak ideas) that you have to address the media - like Quilliam Foundation...

Biblical Christianity is the best way to clear up any "misunderstanding" of Islam.

With the multitude of disparate voices each claiming to represent the true Islam, is it any wonder that the general population rely on what they perceive to be trusted sources.

MPACUK aren't saying they represent the true Islam, they are defending the faith from false misconceptions that arise as and when a story or event breaks.
