The One Path Network was set up to provide ‘authentic Islamic knowledge using a professional contemporary approach’

Members of the Muslim community in Australia have set up a not-for-profit television studio to counter the mainstream media’s portrayal of Islam.
Costing $1 million, the studio – cited as a 21st Dawah initiative – aims to spread the word of Islam among Muslims and non-Muslims. It was reportedly funded by community donations, and is staffed by a team of over 20 volunteers.
Based in western Sydney, the One Path Network films and edits videos for its YouTube channel. Organisers say it was set up to provide “authentic Islamic knowledge using a professional contemporary approach”.
يُرِيدُونَ لِيُطْفِئُوا نُورَ اللَّهِ بِأَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَاللَّهُ مُتِمُّ نُورِهِ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْكَافِرُونَ

PRIME Minister Tony Abbott has renewed his call to outlaw Islamic extremism, once again targeting radical group Hizb ut-Tahrir.
In his latest comments to The Sunday Mail, Mr Abbott drew parallels between the group and overseas “fanatics”.
“We will clamp down on organisations that incite religious or racial hatred,” he said yesterday. “No one should make excuses for Islamist fanatics in the Middle East or indeed their imitators here in Australia.
يُرِيدُونَ أَنْ يُطْفِئُوا نُورَ اللَّهِ بِأَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَيَأْبَى اللَّهُ إِلَّا أَنْ يُتِمَّ نُورَهُ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْكَافِرُونَ
“They desire to extinguish Allah’s Light with their mouths. But Allah refuses to do other than perfect His Light, even though the kafirun detest it.”

Australian Islamist leaders incite Jihad against Jews to expel them from Palestine.
Sydney Jewish leaders are demanding the head of controversial Islamic group Hizb ut-Tahrir be prosecuted under anti-discrimination laws for inciting hatred against Jewish people in a fiery speech last year.
Vic Alhadeff, chief executive of the NSW Jewish Board of Deputies, wrote to the NSW Anti-Discrimination Board on Monday, urging them to take legal action against radical Islamic leader Ismail al-Wahwah.
