Ahmed Nadae
Q/ What should religious
establishments focus on?

Robert Tolast:
Every establishment has its own
policy; some adopt the political
discourse while others adopt the
cultural speech. The moderate
religious institutions like Imam
Hussain Holy Shrine have a clear
and direct impact on the Arab
and Iraqi communities in a very
positive manner. Its discourse
includes cultural, historical and
religious issues in general.

Jack Watling:
Western readers are looking for
the truth and are going into depth
in subjects like Islamic history
etc, to know more about the
religion, this is becausea distorted
view about Islam has been
presented by many media outlets.
Personally, if I want to know about
Muslims, and their personalities
and shrines, I look for Islamic
publications, so print media is
important to convey and show
your point of view about Islam.

Callum Paton:
I believe you should focus on the
subjects that tell the reader the
real meaning of Islam and at the
same time include some cultural
information, as well as current
events.
