It probably comes with age.

Oh, could be. Sorry sister, my mistake. I never watched the programme, just read about the controverse in our newspapers I think about 4 or 5 years ago (maybe even longer, don't know exactly). So I only remembered that it was in this show. Anyways, result stays the same.

England - We non-muslims don't lower our gaze. We don't follow Islam and neither does the author of spongebob squarepants. This isn't an Islamic ruled world. Women liked to be gazed at, they feel complimented and sometimes they may even tease like a few where I work. If you find it wrong then just simply don't watch Western TV.

The point here I'm trying to make is not what non muslims should or shouldn't do but what is harmful for muslims. Neither did I say Spongebob's producers should follow Islam. I think you totally missed the point. In fact I am just as against indecent asian TV as I am against the mind corrupting western media.

MashaAllah some good points made by other posters. Spongebob's just an example, there's a whole lot of children's programmes which are unsuitable for young muslims. I agree with Skillganon and Dahir - we can't just assume children aren't affected by what they see.. and we definitely don't want them confusing love with lust, which is exactly what much of TV portrays.

Malaikah sis, I agree and do point out to my son what is haram etc... for instance if we come across a couple kissing on screen, I tell him that it is haram for muslims to do that except if they are married. But images like that stick in a young mind and God forbid kids act out what they see. But like you said it's hard vetting everything they view. So they might see something without our knowledge. So the TV's gonna have to go.


But back to my other point. TV isn't good for us adults either. I know we can spend our time in more useful ways if if weren't glued to the TV in our spare time. Wouldn't that force us to get off our backsides and do something for ourselves and the ummah instead?

In the movie, Spongebob and Patrick have a 'bag of winds' that will transport them for their return trip on their adventure, Patrick is asked if he has the bag of winds for their return trip. He replys "oh yeah" and turns sideways to reveal a lump in the back of his pants. Spongebob laughs and patrick gets out the bag of winds, but the lump is still there! Spongbob, stares...........

lol, no this no woman and western values.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by that but even if it's meant in one of the two ways possible I still disagree.

Most kids rebel not because they can't have a girlfriend/boyfriend but because they haven't been given enough love and attention from their parents. That love doesn't have to include allowing that kind of exposure.

Btw, is that what you meant?

absolutely right... and all them bollywood love stories must be the worst in corrupting young minds..
Do you agree AvarAllahNoor?

no sis that's not what they meant. They meant, beling glued to the one particular show, meaning spongebob. and I agree with Noor, that if you don't change their habbits when they are young it gets worst as they grow old, and kids become rebelious, and they think they know what they want. So the particular episode we were talking about, if we see it we should just change the channel or distract them to do something else. Which so far has worked like a gem for me.

Correct me if i am wrong!!!
