Ten day Da'wah Course for media producers from all over the country ended here on Thursday. Dr. Anwar Hussain Siddiqui, President, International Islamic University, Islamabad (IIUI) while speaking as chief guest said that world is run by media hostile towards Islam and Muslims. Unfortunately, Muslims have left this area to be utilized by others as per their wishes and designs. Dr. Siddiqui added that Muslims especially Pakistanis are facing severe threats from other hostile entities. So far so very existence of Pakistan is being questioned by vested interests.
