"I desperately wanted to be an ambassador to the Middle East because I never saw anybody who spoke my language on TV". With this line, Omid Djalili, the British-Iranian comedian, simply summarises the entire issue. It's the media. Most of what non-Muslims know about Islam and the Islamic world comes from biased media that shows what it wants to show and hides what it wants hide. Those who seek the Truth must search for it from its true sources. And here is where the blessing of being bilingual reveals its utmost importance. Here is where the responsibility of English-speaking Muslims lie.


I believe that those who truly hate Islam are a minority and that most non-Muslims have a mistaken perception about Islam. That is why I meant to post these two videos together. The first is an excerpt from a lecture by Moez Masoud, an Egyptian Muslim, that was a part of a conference entitled "The Search for Mutual Understanding". In the second tape, Omid Djalili, and after laughing a bit with circumcision, talks about biased media.

Omid is a nice guy and I've met him. But he's not a muslim, he's a Baha'i.
