On the right side, you see the devil (supposedly) in a formal suit conversing with the general manager of one of the Arab TV channels. The devil is saying something to the effect of: "Don't fail me in Ramadan this year, ok? I want the Islamic world to be dancing the month away."
The GM of the Arabic channel says (in a Khaleeji accent): "Worry not, your excellency. We will not fail to impress this year. We have prepared more than a 100 soaps; 500 music clips; comedy programmes, cooking programmes; games and late night shows ... ya3ni in your absence, worry not about the Ummah. We're up to it." |
that's just silly lol. ya at the top above the devil the name reads in arabic 'iblees'. I also have been watching all the pakistani tv sattelite channels off of
Free Online TV: Watch Free Global TV and Online Video from JumpTV --Online Television --English and they are also running all ramadan specials the whole month long. its pretty nice actually, one channel has a 'iftar countdown' special one hour before iftar local karachi time, and then they have a sahoor countdown as well. so i dont really think that there is anything wrong with watching the satellite channels since they are running ramadan specials, on everything from quran, cooking special meals (one paki satellite channel had a small cooking clip on how to make lebanese kababs for example) or even if they are soap dramas.
