Video and television appearances should introduce Dr. Gabriel as a Muslim scholar and religious-freedom advocate. Please do not rebroadcast or caption clips as a Christian conversion testimony.
This site speaks with respect for Islam, Christianity and Judaism — the Abrahamic family of faiths — and for every person’s right to worship according to conscience.
If older third-party footage still carries the false narrative, this site asks hosts to add a clear on-air or on-screen correction: he did not convert; those claims were fabricated.

Using and Presenting Clips Responsibly
Video and television segments often travel far beyond the programme they were made for. A short excerpt can be reposted, retitled and recaptioned many times, and each step risks losing the original context. Anyone sharing or rebroadcasting footage of Dr. Gabriel, or of any speaker on matters of faith, can help keep the record fair by following a few practical habits.
Keep the original context visible
- Name the source. Identify the programme, channel or event where the clip first aired, and the approximate date if it is known.
- Avoid selective trimming. Cutting a sentence mid-thought can change its meaning. Include enough of the surrounding discussion for viewers to follow the argument.
- Describe accurately. Titles and captions should reflect what the speaker actually says in the clip, not a summary added later by someone else.
Check rights before rebroadcasting
Television footage usually belongs to the broadcaster or production company, not to the speaker. Before airing or uploading a segment, confirm that you have permission from the rights holder. Fair-use or fair-dealing exceptions vary and are narrower than many people assume, so when in doubt, ask for advice.
Frame interfaith topics with care
Discussions of religion touch deeply held convictions. Respectful presentation means avoiding sensational thumbnails, inflammatory headlines or captions that cast any faith community as an enemy. Where a speaker's personal religious identity is part of the story, describe it in the terms the record supports and invite viewers to read the fuller account on the About page rather than relying on a single clip.
Corrections and follow-up
If you notice a mislabelled or misleading upload, a brief, factual note to the publisher is usually the most effective first step. Producers preparing a new segment, or wishing to clarify an older one, can use the media request form to discuss background, framing and scheduling, and readers looking for written sources can consult the Books page.
