You can change the TV channel according to your will if you find the program either good or bad, but once you sit in the cinema hall, you cannot change the movie.



Halak Jan



Halak Jan, you are 100 percent correct. They will force you to go to the cinema, they will chain you to your seat, and they will pry your eyes open forcing you to watch their movies! Your logic just cracks me up. There’s more haram on the Internet than in cinemas or on TV, and you have even less control over it due to hyperlinks and pop up adds. Maybe you should log off and cancel your Internet access.



James McDaniel



James McDaniel, what you said is true about haram material on the Internet, and, yes, we do exactly what you suggest,  i.e., log off and cancel our Internet access. However, religious Muslims do not go to such websites. They go to Islamic websites in order to access pure information and to stay pure.



I remember the days of my childhood, when people used to use TV satellite dishes secretly. If any religious police learned about it, they would go up to the roof of the building and throw the satellite dish to the ground plus levying a big fine for the crime. I miss those days when Islam was at it’s best in Saudi Arabia.



Abdul Majeed Taher



It is amazing that when you go to Bahrain and the Emirates, the cinema queues are almost entirely made up of Saudis. If something is against your religion on TV, turn it off. If something is against your religion in the cinema, don’t buy a ticket and go! It’s that simple!
