The Misuse of Social Platforms: A Call for Unity and Wisdom

Kashmir Observer

JULY 17, 2025 ISSUE

In the digital age, where platforms like Facebook were meant to connect minds and hearts across distances, it is deeply distressing and profoundly disappointing to witness how they are increasingly being used to sow division among sects, particularly within the Muslim Ummah.

- Sincerely, Sibti Muhammad Hassan Press Enclave, Srinagar

A sacred space meant for community building and enlightenment is now tainted with toxic, baseless, and often incendiary rhetoric.

Every day, we come across self-proclaimed preachers, keyboard warriors, and so-called scholars, who without any sound knowledge or spiritual depth, indulge in spewing venomous lectures and divisive content but there are always exceptions, all do not fall in the same boat, many are wise and know how to propagate unity and love.
