Al-Hijrah and the Things to come? Perhaps?

Malaysia has made another milestone in her history by launching her very own TV Al Hijrah; the first Islamic TV station. Now here's what TV Al Hijrah as what our buddies at THESTAR online mentioned it would do:

- to further promote the new medium in Islamic propagation in line with current needs, according to the Islamic Development Department (Jakim), operator of the station.

- "Jakim hopes that through cooperation from missionaries and arts activists, the station will emerge as the top Islamic propagation station in the region."

- Wan Mohamad said the station would have a major impact in terms of Islamic propagation on the global community and, at the same time, offer healthy competition among the media in the country and set an example for the region.

It's a fact that we have a huge and sizable Muslim community, approximately 60% and with the inflow of Arabs, Persians and other people from the Middle East having a Muslim station is absolutely LOGICAL.

Now, how bout allowing other faiths to openly broadcast their beliefs for the purpose of propagation as well eh? Why not have a Christian TV Broadcasting Station? or maybe a Buddhist one? Will it ever be so easy to do it in a country like this?

We can only wonder.

Because just like our Muslim brothers and sisters, we too would like to openly propagate our religion to. No?

*Didjirama thinks that faith is a matter of choice and the propagation of religious beliefs openly and on air is the right of every individual.
