Distortion of reality by media, blocks realization of Islamic unity
Grand Ayatollah Mohsen Araki, Secretary General of the World Forum for Proximity of Islamic Schools of Thought, attended the opening ceremony of Islamic Unity Forum (IUF) in London quoting the holy book of Islam on importance of solidarity among Muslims and said the obstacle on way of Islamic unity is distortion of reality by owners of powerful media, reported Taqrib News Agency (TNA).
 
He said,” Should the elites and thinkers were free to choose they would have chosen to follow the right path, monotheism, and the objective of Islamic unity would have realized though distortion of reality is the issue which has occurred in three forms.”
 
Ayatollah Araki said,” In the first form of this distortion is to deny the reality when the enemies try to prevent that from reaching the people.”
 
The cleric noted,” In the second version, the words are distorted when a group of people try to impose their whims on others by distorting the words from God Almighty, as it is referred to in verse 13 of chapter 5 (Surah Al-Maidah): “But because of their breach of their covenant, We cursed them, and made their hearts grow hard; they change the words from their (right) places and forget a good part of the message that was sent them.”
 
Professor of Qom Seminary referred to distorted interpretations as the third type when the high Islamic meanings are substituted by inaccurate versions based on the interests of the enemies.
 
Top Iranian scholar demanded the participants in 10th Islamic Unity Forum in London proposed the formation of union of media activists in pursuit of spreading facts in an attempt to confront the issue of distortion of facts by the mainstream media and also to struggle for enlightenment of the people’s minds on the high culture of true Islam.
