Assalam-o-Alaikum-Warahmat-ULLAH ALL,
Just finished watching this program. yahya bring out the points you think where he became apologetic. I'm ready to discuss.
Nope, I don't agree. Munawwar Hassan was not apologetic. He answered well.
I agree with his statements, not because he is Ameer of JI, but because what he said is the truth.
In many questions, the host of Frontline INTETIONALLY twisted his words, took statements, situations OUT of CONTEXT in order to wrongfully malign Ameer JI. Ameer JI answered them as he should have. Ameer JI didn't fall in the pitfalls the host of the show set for him.
I respect that. ONLY a man who is speaking truth will give answers in his 'natural' demeanor.
I would be much harder on the host. Furthermore, I would bury the host in the sea of facts, since he was intentionally twisting words, intentionally taking statements, articles, situations OUT of CONTEXT in order to malign Ameer JI.
I don't accept injustice, I don't accept wrongful maligning of anyone, especially if people of media do it, because people in mass media destroy a lot of hard work of people by putting forward falsehood in the name of righteousness.
When people in mass media wrongfully malign someone, they succeed in selling their show, but they end up doing A LOT more damage to the interests of the common man.
One of the PRIMARY interest of the common man is that he be able to trust his leader. Why ? Because a leader provides;
- direction in which a common man moves his life
- sense of purpose
- someone to trust in ALL situations
- someone to bank on when life gets tough
- someone to look up to as an example of success or someone to depend on for goodness, for betterment of one's life
If wrong facts are presented, statements are twisted, situations, statements are taken OUT of CONTEXT, if wrong information is presented with a colourful twist, that destroys the trust bond of that good person, converts it into an evil one, they end up shattering this trust bond.
Of-course educated people see through the BS, but the majority of the nation cannot differentiate between right and wrong because they do NOT! conduct their independent research. Very few of the people in Muslims or in Pakistan do their independent research to get to the bottom of things. This ammounts to disinformation, lies.
I do NOT! accept character assassination. People who attempt character assassination should be tried and punished! through the court of LAW for the ENTIRE NATION to SEE as a warning to NOT engage in injustice in the name of righteousness.
This is NOT! a small crime. People in media SHOULD be punished for character assassination through the court of LAW.
I wouldn't call it character assassination, if the facts being presented were the truth. Then it would be justified. However, if the facts being presented are falsehood, it automatically becomes a crime.
