A Reality Show Where Islam Is the Biggest Star - A Response

The tonality and word choice of the author portrays the show to be dramatic.

The prizes offered stand out as a motivation for people to take part. However, I am mindful to note that it appears that the show is commercializing religion, and using prizes and the media to attract the younger generation, which in general appear more apathetic towards religion today. It is an interesting method, but trivialises the sanctity of religion.

It also comes across as a form of propaganda for the Islam-dominant country, considering the mention of the show being a collaboration with the government body.
