Australia: Islamic leaders want parents to turn off Peppa Pig because it’s corrupting kids
From Honey Nine.com Australia
Head of the Australian National Imams Council Sheikh Shady Alsuleiman has urged Australian parents to embrace a Muslim alternative to children’s’ favourite Peppa Pig.
According to The Australian, Alsuleiman wants parents to support shows that teach Islamic principles, to prevent young children being corrupted by mainstream TV. The council is backing One4Kids, a Sydney company producing kid’s shows with Islamic themes, including the upcoming Barakah Hills- pitched as alternative to British favourite Peppa Pig.
The new show tells the story of the Abdullah family who live in Barakah Hills, a small town ‘with a predominantly Muslim population.’ A fundraising campaign has begun for the show. The trailer said ‘Barakah Hills represents an ideal Muslim community and is targeted to a post-toddler, pre-school demographic of children. The show’s main objective is to show children what it is like to be a practicing Muslim as well as a good citizen in their community. . . “
“Yes please create a cartoon that teaches kids good moral values ie. sharing, neighbour rights, when it is time for prayer, they should stop everything and go n pray 5 times. No lying, no hitting, no shouting, getting dressed, obey parents, fasting. Everything that features the life of a Muslim.’
Note the good little Muslim girls sitting behind the Muslim boys, with their heads covered.
