‘FM radio a weapon of mass vulgarity’
2004-05-22
PESHAWAR: Residents of district Lakki Marwat have condemned the Saifullah brothers for starting a private radio channel, FM-88, and called it a source of “vulgarity” and “obscenity” in the area.
"Mahmoud and Achmed in the Morning"? The Goat Fat Man? When does the book come out? "Liaquat Saifullah Has a Very Small Pee-bug"?
Commander Mumtaz Ahmad Marwat, Farid Khan Marwat, Muhammad Nadeem Marwat and Inamullah Marwat in a statement said that the Saifullah brothers had done nothing for the development of the area but started a private radio channel to air “vulgar” and “obscene” songs throughout the day. They said it was an attempt to engage young people in vulgar activities. They said if the Saifullah brothers really wanted help people, the channel should air religious programmes. They warned they would take action if the “vulgar” songs were not stopped.

#1  Better be careful what they say or alot of music fans will declare Jihad against them. And there's nothing quite so terrible as a rampaging Brittney Spears fan.
