Huda TV Channel, a global broadcasting satellite service with its headquarters in Riyadh, has launched a channel in the German language to present the correct image of Islam in the West.
The channel is targeting 145 million people who speak the language around the world, local media reported on Saturday.
Hamad Al-Ghammas, chairman of the board of directors of Huda TV Channel, reportedly said during the channel's launch ceremony on Thursday that Islam is being projected among non-Muslims in a distorted manner. "This has compelled us to communicate with people in their mother tongue and present the right image of the religion," he said, expressing optimism that the move will be beneficial in a big way.
The channel aims to introduce Islam to the German-speaking population, remove misconceptions, focus on the positive Islamic behavior, educate them on the Islamic civilization and its role in the development of humanity and refute accusations against the religion.
