programs on TV. Though some people have a lot of spare time, that they

tend to spend their days in front of TV sets watching soap operas and
programs which add nothing to their intellectual faculties, is an evident
result of being bereft of purpose and of degeneration.
Having no purpose in life and being oblivious of other realms of
existence is a threat to humanity. However, over and above this, that
among people who assume a particular stance in life, the majority advocate
views which lack real values and are actually detrimental towards
humanity, poses the real threat. That is because the leaders and advocates
of these dangerous ideas find masses to hand who are utterly bereft of the
intellectual faculties with which to discern danger, and who thus accept
any presupposition without subjecting it to independent scrutiny.
Given these circumstances, in their efforts to attract partisans,
anarchists and terrorists, harboring deep-seated enmity against their
country and nation, they encounter no resistance. For instance, in a
college cafeteria, where, to this end, they instill their views subversively,
an idle teen watches vaguely while young people right next to him are
exposed to indoctrination. Never does he realize that these people will
soon start to act under the influence of the anarchists' and terrorists'

conditioning, and become merciless criminals who can readily set their
hands on weapons to use against the police, soldiers and innocent people
of their own country. Even if he realizes this threat, he remains indifferent
to the danger. In any case, he hardly has the awareness or a sense of
responsibility that would lead him to handle the situation wisely.
In a verse Allah refers to the purposelessness of some people thus:
Leave them to eat and enjoy themselves. Let false hope divert them. They
will soon know. (Surat al-Hijr: 3)
An attentive person observes that the reaction shown by particular
groups to any new policy adopted in universities, often proves to be more

harmful than beneficial. This is a consequence of the group's stance,
because the group does not defend what is right and good. Another
group, on the other hand, prefers to remain silent and simply ignores
