Hmm.. what will they ban next.. women?
Or better yet, there will be an official order to ban the site called Rebellious Arab Girl. Wouldn’t that be the day?
The most senior judge in Saudi Arabia has said it is permissible to kill the owners of satellite TV channels which broadcast immoral programmes.
Sheikh Salih Ibn al-Luhaydan said some “evil” entertainment programmes aired by the channels promoted debauchery. [Read the rest of the story]

You gotta love em
lol… sure!
قرأت كتاباتك , لكن اعتقد ان الشيخ Ø§Ù„Ù„ÙŠØØ¯Ø§Ù† Ù…ØÙ€Ù‚ والسبب ان هذه القنوات تعدت الخطوط الØÙ…راء والتي جميعنا نعرÙها كبشر اما ان يعاملنا Ø§ØµØØ§Ø¨ هذه القنوات على اننا ØÙŠÙˆØ§Ù†Ø§Øª Ùقط نركض وراء شهواتنا Ùهذا ليس مقبولاً
this might sounds harsh….. what would you think of a rapist. doesn’t he deserves death ?! …. here is the analogy. immoral TV stations according to this judge references are ones showing nearly naked girls in music video, and thanks to western culture, Arabic copies of MTV are not the new kid in town any more in the Arab world …… now, to this judge and many people in the world (including non-Muslims), who are abusing woman (regardless of their willingness )in this way, are next thing to rapists and this is a world wide movement the last time I checked (abusing woman for money, literally)
Now there is an Islamic law opinion regarding those type of people (mofsedon fel aradh) putting them together with bandits…. this judge was answering a question about this law from the Islamic law point of view and was referring to Muslim satellite channels owners of whom this law would apply to (more like discussed) if one would raise a lawsuit against any of them, it’s not like he was charging people to kill satellite channels owners on the spot, he is a judge and was asked about his professional opinion. People wanted something to write about and some (like you) was caught by stereotypes and didn’t like what the supposedly neutral media had to reflect. I am not defending him, in fact I hated how he put it.
Thanks Nasser for the response and I assume you are allow me to copy it and may Allah give you all the credit for this clarification.
Mona, may Allah guide us all to the straight path.
Blessed Ramadhan Insha’Allah and Happy Eid.
