The media is an amazing platform to express yourself, share information, and to learn about different people and their cultures. It is a place where you can expand your horizons without going anywhere. My new hobby (watching tv) opened my eyes to something that was rather disappointing, but important to acknowledge. While watching a tv talk show, the presenter said something along the lines of " Muslims want to force all of us to follow sharia law, they want to change our way of life." What I didn't understand is why would you sit on national tv and falsely accuse an entire religion of something that is a figment of your imagination? I understand we live in a world where we have freedom of speech but do we realize that whatever you are saying may have a huge impact on your surroundings?

it is important to speak up, but be sure you are telling the truth.

“Truthfulness leads to righteousness, and righteousness leads to Paradise. In addition, a man keeps on telling the truth until he becomes a truthful person. Falsehood leads to wickedness and evil-doing, and wickedness leads to the (Hell) Fire, and a man may keep on telling lies till he is written before God, as a liar”- Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H).
