Islamic Revival

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم Media is streamed through a specific and unique lens depending on the views it holds regarding society and life.  Media in all of its forms; print or broadcast all strive to promote a certain perspective to the masses.  This is most evident in media geared towards females of all ages.  We all feel the tangible effects of the media on both genders.  However, we are yet to feel the direct effects of Islamic media.  There are several stark differences between Islamic media and western media.
