I clicked on a video clip prepared by the Online Pakistani Jinnah Community, titled Price for Peace. It opened with the scenes of explosions, maimed bodies, arsons and despaired faces.
What is our effigy of peace? Have we forgotten what peace looks like so much that we have nothing but cold and cruel savagery to depict it? Even when we talk about peace, we always fall back on the images of distress and war. In essence when we show only bloodshed and feud, what are we promoting? Peace? How can we teach people to live in peace when we keep showing them random attacks and constant hostilities?
The psychology here is simple, "money see - monkey do."
Display to the monkey how to conduct itself properly and the monkey will follow.
But show the monkey weapons and wrangling and the monkey will fire and assualt.
So I am against the freedom of the press when it vehemently portrays violence and degeneration. We need to blot out images of destruction and chaos from the public mind, whether it be newspapers, TV or online. People feel, think and do what they see, hear and read so when people are tirelessly bombarded with pictures of murder and looting, they will effectively become its very agents and advocate.
Go to any Western Country, the media, though it claims to be democratic and liberal, is in fact very conservation and calculated. Even the most ghastly of events will not appear on any TV channel until much after its effect and its details will be watered down to make it seem very insignificant so as not to instigate any concern or panic amongst the viewing population. So the Western world thrives on the false notion that they are civilized when in fact barbarians rule their streets and parliament.
Muslim media however, suppresses all forms of good citizenship and enthusiastically pounds the viewing audience with problems and traumatic events. Even if they are insignificant, the Muslim media will dramatize them to force a terrifying and and mad reaction. Then people, in their fury and confusion rain havoc against each other. We burn our own properties, pummel our own resources and kill our own people.
Very smart huh? The media duped us all!
So the price of peace is censorship. Get a sensible person to control the media and only indoctrinate positive ideas so the viewing audience remains calm and constructive.
Allah Knows Best.
Think of how the Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w) gave Da'wah to the people of Quresh. Instead of ranting about the fallacies of polytheism, for thirteen years rigorously he introduced them to Allah and taught them His attributes so that when they recognize the true worth of Allah, they will leave their feeble idols without any fuss. Similarly, we the media was to largely exhibit peaceful programs on TV via whatever means, inshaAllah the public will soon learn to be patient and tolerant subconsciously.
