Today the popular entertainment industry is at its peak. We have also joined the bandwagon to create an "Islamic" or "Halal" entertainment industry. These include TV channels, movies, cartoons, concerts, nasheeds, comedy shows, talk shows, fashion events, shopping events, news, theme parks, entertaining seminars and amusing talks. The common answer given when asked about this is that "we need an alternative". But many of us fail to ask the all important questions 1. "Why do we need an alternative?" and 2. "Who said that we need an alternative?". Furthermore one may also ask "Are these so called alternatives really different to their popular counterparts?" and "Are the underlying philosophies of both the same or different?".
