An  Orientalist confronts a Muslim scholar, rejecting outright the insinuations of his fellow orientalists that the Holy Quran is to an extent interpolated for his overt assertion that it is the product of the imaginations of Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H).

The complimentary and independent media are the most substantial requirements for the utility of democracy (Bajohr, 2006). Question:    How media creates a person’s sense of reality? Do you think that media of Pakistan fulfill the requirements for the utility of democracy?     The mass media are less effective in this process if they use a hostile perception and more powerful when "persuasive press inferences" (Gunther & Christen 2002).
