The rage in the Arab world nowadays are two Turkish TV series dubbed into Arabic. The Series have been a huge success with a huge following. These TV series have hit a nerve with the Arab world as it provides a similar background the Arabic culture with higher quality production and acting. The results of these TV series is a number of divorces as couples argue about it, woman complain why their husbands are not as romantic as the main male characters in the TV series, and some men complain why their wives don’t take as good a care of themselves as the main female character in the series. The series have also boosted tourism to Turkey from the Arab world to unexpected numbers.

However some religious authorities in the Arab world have declared the series as haram (forbiden) to watch. They say that they are destroying families and provide a bad perspective of life and marriage. One of the most notable Islamic figures to support this view is the mufti (head clerk) of Saudi Arabia.

Commentary

Sure go ahead and forbid it, but its not about Islam its all about men loosing face. Why are Arab men so bad with women? all they expect from their wives is to cook and serve but for them to provide their wives with some love and romance that would never happen. Stop issuing ridicules and stupid fatwas and start working on serious problems. how about a fatwa banning the marriage of girls under 16? Ya ignore all the important stuff and make a stand against the stupid stuff. If your worried about your wife if she watches the tv series just treat her well then you will have nothing to worry about.
