JAKARTA, OCT 25 /DNA/ – All the enemies of Islam successfully target us individually and collectively. Despite the fact that Islam bears the message of tolerance and peace, yet the myths and misconceptions, often with hidden geopolitical agendas, continue to dominate the media because we have repeatedly failed to act as a unit.
