Comments on: Muslim Approaches to Damage Control http://austrolabe.com/2007/04/15/muslim-approaches-to-damage-control/ Sat, 07 Jan 2012 13:12:52 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: Osama Saeed http://austrolabe.com/2007/04/15/muslim-approaches-to-damage-control/comment-page-1/#comment-21853 Osama Saeed Sun, 22 Apr 2007 11:57:47 +0000 http://austrolabe.com/2007/04/15/muslim-approaches-to-damage-control/#comment-21853 Interesting post. I agree that there needs to be a recognition of where attacks are coming from when responding to them. The difference with the corporate wars is that the media can be balanced when reporting them. When it comes to Muslims however, the media are one of the very instruments attacking us, making the task much more difficult. True to say though that until Muslims become savvy with even the blogosphere, podcasting, youtubing etc, this is very hypothetical indeed. Interesting post.

For example the recent attacks by right wing pundits should be fought with their free speech ideology. They are always banging on about free speech except when it allows a Muslim to interrogate the causes for western imperialism, then all of a sudden its a "terrorist ideology". Start off with a small target and bring them down, but do so publicly and with considerable blood in the water (metaphorically speaking). You guys here at Austrolabe stopped the "Great idiotic bikini march"), by attacking its neo-Nazi links. Eventually the senile wrinkled old crone who organized it (it would have been an offense against the public decency to see her naked anyway) gave up and went back to recording her bowel motions (or whatever else occupies the elderly).

See how popular ummah films has become (at least in the US, is it in Australia?) but I think more in terms of videos like the Taj Hargey one ummahpulse.com woul dbe great.

Repel the evil deed with one which is better, then lo! he, between whom and thee there was enmity (will become) as though he was a bosom friend."

One way is to keep track of their lies and expose them whenever they make a mistake. Blogs are good for spreading this sort of info around.
