Popular radio programme taken off air
- Saudi Arabia: Thursday, September 18 - 2008 at 09:15
The Holy Quran Radio in Saudi Arabia has suspended its famous daily broadcast Light In The Path. According to the Islam Today news website, the broadcast of a new episode of the programme was halted yesterday along with another Islamic programme, Fahd Al Sunaidi. The website said the episode was scheduled to host Shaikh Abdul Rahman Al Ghadyan, a member of the Senior Ulema Board, but gave no reasons for the sudden decision not to air the programme. The decision to take the programme off the air comes in the wake of the controversy generated by a fatwa issued by Shaikh Saleh Al Luhaidan, Chief Justice of the Supreme Judicial Council. The stricture says it is acceptable to kill owners of Arabic satellite television channels that broadcast programmes considered immoral.
