~17~ International Spread of Societal Evils In the current age, the circle of transgression is expanding due to the extreme expansion of the communication system. Hence, drawing attention to the members of the community towards this important topic, Huzoor-e-Anwar (aba) said in a Friday sermon: “These days the practical danger stems from the rampant and uncontrollable spread of the societal ills and, worse, some ills are given legal protection in the name of freedom of expression and speech. Evil was somewhat restricted before this age. The evil of the neighborhood remained in the neighborhood, a city’s evil stayed in the city, and a country’s evil remained in the country. At worst, neighbors would be affected by an evil. Now, however, with the ease of travel, television, Internet and various media these individual and localized evils have turned into international evils. Contacts are forged on the Internet across thousands of miles to spread evil and indecency. ” • Friday Sermon delivered 06 Dec 2013 at Baitul Futuh Mosque, London • Published AlFazl International 27 December 2013 ****************
