Arab satellite channels — evaluating the experiment
The 'Al-Wasatiyya' episode on the Arab satellite-channel experiment, which the host called 'the number-one cause in changing minds and values'. The youth voted: 75% judged the channels' contribution bad, 21% excellent; and 76% endorsed moral oversight only, while 3% wanted no control at all. From the host's statistics: 79 variety and 37 government channels, and 52% of televised violence falls in children's slots.Fatwa on the satellite channels — its benefit and harm
The 'Al-Wasatiyya' episode on satellite fatwa programmes, no longer private to the questioner but heard by millions. The youth voted on why people turn to them: ease of access first, 35% to reach the most-learned, 20% for less-strict answers; on whom to ask: 43% the country's scholars, only 15% satellite scholars, 42% fiqh bodies and academies; and on the solution: 39% for one option, 31% for restricting to collective fatwa over individual ijtihad.
