Protesters want Bahrain Big Brother stopped Several hundred Islamists have held a rally in Bahrain to protest against the television reality show Big Brother produced in the Gulf Arab state, complaining that the programme was un-Islamic. "Stop Sin Brother! No to indecency!" chanted the protesters on Friday. The Arabic version of the show has drawn large audiences internationally. Police blocked a road leading to the house where the show is staged on the small Amwaj island, near the capital Manama. The programme, broadcast across the Arab world by MBC satellite channel, has raised eyebrows despite efforts to take into account Muslim sensitivities. Separate living and sleeping quarters for male and female participants have been introduced, as well as a prayer room. Parliament Deputy Chairman Adel al-Moawada, who has led a campaign to cross-examine Information Minister Nabeel al-Hamer about Big Brother in the assembly, attended the peaceful rally. "We don't want such programmes because our families will be influenced. Our children would think that living together without being married is acceptable in Islam," one protester said. Pro-Western Bahrain, headquarters of the U.S. Fifth Fleet, has often seen demonstrations against the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq (news - web sites) and Washington's perceived pro-Israeli policies. There have also been protests against Western-style performers deemed immoral by Islamists. story.news.yahoo.com >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> What's next M(uslim)MTV? lurqer
