[mukto-mona] Re: Saudi cleric's fatwa on 'immoral' TV--comment on

WRT: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mukto-mona/message/49921

Dear Readers,

Please ponder over one thing. Due to this fatwa everyone
seems to be pounching on the Saudi cleric who pronounced it. But no
one is raising a voice against the TV programmes which the cleric
denounced as immoral.We all know what some of these TV programmes
show. TV programmes are basically a mode of business - to make
profit. And in that rat race some of these TV programmers show very
filthy shows where specifically the females are shown in their
nudity. Their purpose is to attract viewers, specifically males so
as to increase their revenues. One can argue that it is their right.
But is it? Where to draw the line of morality? Or we should have no
holds barred? Show anything and everything on the TV, which can
influence the malleable minds of youngsters? Historians will tell us
that societies got rotten when they crossed limits. And they decayed
or were destroyed. Let us review these TV programmes which have been
denounced by this cleric. The TV shows in most of the developed
countries are full of sex and violence. Even the think tanks of
those countries are worried with the effect of such programmes.
Otherwise why the bar of 18 years on girls and boys before they can
expose themselves? Nowadays it has become a fashion to criticise any
one who stands for morality and decency - especiallly if it comes
from a Muslim cleric.These so-called free thinkers will argue that
the cleric's fatwa can induce terrorism. But even for once they will
not accept what these indecent TV programmes are inducing in the
society. So much for their liberalism and secularism!!
