Someone, fed up of the state of affairs of his country, who I was listening to today suggested that on the Day of judgement the next in line after the religious scholars will be the journalists because so many people believe and trust in what they write.

I suppose verse 31:6 covers all those who write falsehood and spread propaganda to lead people astray.

Peace.

Many of the religious scholars you refer to who have enabled this system, have in fact passed away, so the following verse is applicable:

7:38: He will say: “Enter among the communities that have passed away before you of domini and servi into the Fire!” Whenever a community enters, it curses its sister; when they have followed one another therein all together, the last of them will say to the first of them: “Our Lord: these led us astray; so give Thou them double punishment of the Fire!” He will say: “For each is double, but you know not.”

Translation: the former communities will receive a torment that is twice in severity when compared to those who directly follow them, I assume this is a chain that goes up exponentially, so in emojis:

Archaic Elite 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 > Old Elite 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 > Elite 🔥🔥🔥🔥 > journalists 🔥🔥 > teletubbies 🔥.
