Media Values
When I think of values in the media I like to refer to the words of St. Paul: “We are called to be in this world, not of this world.” What St. Paul is getting at is that we must put our values in front of what we do and not look for them after we have done something. We can find our values in the world only if we are willing to put them there in the first place. In order to accomplish a values-based society, we must look for the definition of our values and actually see them when they are modeled for us. We need to make our children aware of values, how to define them, how to see them in our society, model them, and provide opportunities for them to practice those values.

Righting the image of Islam
The true nature of Islam needs to be more effectively espoused, in order to counter the false dogma of terrorists. From Thailand’s Muslim-majority South to Islam’s holiest site in Mecca, Muslims across the globe are trying hard to come to terms with ongoing violence carried out in the name of Islam. Many are horrified at the fact that their religion is being used to justify terrorism.
The good news is that some leaders have taken it upon themselves to take back Islam from the fanatics and terrorists who have not only hijacked the religion that is embraced by more than one billion of the world people, but portrayed themselves as freedom fighters working to liberate the world’s Muslims from various predicaments.
This grab-bag theology is nothing more than a morally bankrupt political view of some fringe groups that misinterpret the religion so that it appears to match their wicked political agendas.
Among the leaders who have been working hard to put an end to this assault on Islam is King Abdullah II of Jordan, the man behind the Amman Message, which is one of the most important initiatives to come out of the world’s greater Muslim community in some time.
