The rumour mill

works wonders in situations of chaos. Last night we were all sitting watching TV when I received a phone call saying that few masajid have announced that city water has been poisoned and shut the city tap to our home so it doesn’t contaminate our home water reserve. People started to panic, I started to flip channels and one of channels ran the line from MD waterboard that it was a rumour, few minutes later the MD came on phone on Aaj TV and clarified that it water has been tested in labs and no poison found.

I am sure many people would’ve believed and took other extreme steps to save themselves.

Just thought to let you guys know in case it was not talked about here. If it has been talked about then please merge/delete.

Re: The rumour mill

sad state of affairs. I am not that religious and correct me if I am wrong... doesnt Quran prohibit you from spreading something you havent verified? To specifically prevent rumor mills.

So if your ONLY job is to help people understand Quran... then what does that tell you about these morons? Either these dummies have never read it... or they dont act on it. Instead they spend the time blasting women, America and other religious sects and spreading stupid stuff like this on loudspeakers all day.
