Noor By Geo Tv - The Turkish Humsafar *edited*

Noor and Muhannad observe Ramadan, and their marriage is arranged by Muhannad's grandfather but the characters break with tradition in other ways. Characters are shown drinking wine with dinner, partying, and kissing onscreen which has been deemed inappropriate for younger audiences such as children.^[2][3] Female characters do not wear headscarves, and none of the main characters are shown praying.^[4] Muhannad had sex (and an illegitimate child) before marrying Noor, and one of his cousins has an abortion.^[2][4] Perhaps most significantly, Noor and Muhannad's marriage is depicted (in an idealized way) as a modern partnership between equals, in which Muhannad supports his wife's career ambitions as a fashion designer.^[2][5] While such qualities are present in all popular Turkish TV shows, the relaxed attitude towards Islam is new and interesting to the conservative groups in the Muslim World. The AP reports that the show "seems particularly effective in changing attitudes because it offers new content in a familiar setting: Turkey is a Muslim country, inviting stronger viewer identification than Western TV imports."^[5]

The most conservative of Muslim religionists argue the show is un-Islamic, even though some scenes are toned down for consumption in Arab countries.^[5] Saudi Arabia's leading cleric, Sheik Abdul Aziz al-Asheik, has instructed Muslims to avoid watching the show.^[2] Hamed Bitawi, a Hamas legislator and preacher, has also spoken against it.^[5]
