An average of 70 percent of people living in six Arab countries said in a recently released study that they're in favor of censoring entertainment programs.
Northwestern University in Qatar, in partnership with the Doha Film Institute, interviewed more than 6,000 citizens and expatriates in Egypt, Lebanon, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia and the United Arab Emirates about their media consumption and attitudes toward entertainment. An average of seven in 10 respondents said they believe that violent and romantic content should be more heavily regulated and that "some scenes should be deleted, or whole programs banned, if some people find them offensive."
