Insight was a valiant attempt by some of the boys from the Muslim Youth Circle in Glasgow to use some of their newly honed computer skills to publish a magazine for young muslims. Unfortunately, despite starting well and then getting even better, it suffered from its success in two ways. With the first suggestion of possible Council funding being made available, jealous rivals from the other side of town immediately set up a magazine in competition to intercept any available funds. But even more destructive were the usual grand promises from a few vainglorious muslim businessmen south of the border, with heady suggestions of financial backing and widespread distribution. Their poisonous words instilled such hope and excitement in these young publishers, that when all the talk turned out to be no more than that, just talk, the disappointment was such that their ideas of how they defined success had been changed, and what previously they had been so proud of they now thought of as so much less than what it could have been. So, deflated and dispirited, they lost the will to carry on doing what they had previously been doing so well, and that was the end of Insight. |
