I don't have to rely on fake-news sites to find stories that put extremist religions in a bad light.
Nor do I have to lie about other posters to make a point.
But then, I am an atheist.
Sudan: Death threats after Shababtalk
After the passionate plea of a young woman in the DW show, religious extremists threaten the presenter and the Sudanese partner broadcaster with violence. In newspapers and social media it is topic number one.

Hate messages, boycott appeals and even open threats of violence are circulating after the broadcast of the "Shababtalk" programme on the situation of women in Sudan. The target of the verbal attacks is not only DW presenter Jaafar Abdul-Karim, but also the partner broadcaster who broadcast the programme.
It all began with the courageous appearance of 28-year-old Weam Shawky: in the Arabic-language talk show of the DW, she criticized the oppression and harassment of women in North Africa. "If I go out on the street and a man treats me like an object and not like a human being, then the person who gives him the right to harass me - and not the clothes I wear - is reprehensible," Shawky said. She spoke directly to the head of the Sudanese Scholars Corporation, Mohammed Osman Saleh, who was also in the talk group. "The clothes I wear are part of my humanity and my freedom of choice - not the choice of society with its sick and backward traditions," she said.
Reactions on the Net and in Mosques
In Sudan, these statements triggered a fierce debate. On the Net, advocates and opponents of equal rights discussed. Weam Shawky took the floor on Facebook: "I wanted to express myself in the programme, because it is enough for me how we women are portrayed. You can beat us, you can mutilate us genital! I can no longer accept that!

"Shababtalk" participant Mohammed Osman Saleh warned after the show: "We have to be careful because these media want to portray us badly!
Mohammed Osman Saleh, on the other hand, said: "I wanted to leave the discussion, but then I thought it wasn't right because they would say I didn't want to discuss with them. We have to be careful, because these media want to present us badly! The hashtags "Boycott the station" and "Shift the presenter from Sudan" suddenly circulated on the net.
On Friday the topic reached the mosques. The preacher Abdel Hay Youssef called it "impudence" that Weam Shawky had demanded equal rights for men and women in the programme "without wearing a headscarf and with a loud voice". Another preacher, Mohammed Amine Ismail, targeted moderator Abdul-Karim: "He is coming to our country to spread atheism, to question the basis of our religion and to support unbelievers!
Open threats of violence
In the press the debate at the weekend filled the headlines: "Religious leaders and preachers criticise 'Shababtalk' and demand the closure of the channel", headlined the newspaper "Al-Akhbar". And "Al-Mejhar" opened with a quote from Mohammed Osman Saleh: "Cooperation with international TV stations that are against us is more dangerous than carrying weapons!
In the meantime, religious extremists have threatened the presenter and the owner of the partner channel with the use of tanks and firearms. The station was provisionally placed under police protection and the head of the station was questioned by the security authorities about cooperation with DW.

Young people for equality
The announcement of street protests against the partner broadcaster has prompted the US embassy in Sudan to warn American citizens against staying near the broadcaster's building: On Sunday, "demonstrations that could possibly become violent" are to be expected. A "heavy police presence in the area" is expected.
Moderator Abdul-Karim considers the positive reactions to the broadcast to be far more important than all verbal attacks: "Religious representatives use the language of hatred. But it is motivating to see that straight the young generation expresses itself for the penetration of woman rights and supports us.
