Muslim youth with mobile

According to a survey published April 25 in the press, nearly 70% of the photos (often or animated) are exchanged on the mobile phones of young people in the United Arab Emirates, all related. to gender-sensitive issues.

The study investigating the "Arab youth with the mobile phone" was conducted based on the close coordination of the Social Investigation Commission, the police force and the Youth Union in the United Arab Emirates.

The results of the interviews, the results of the questionnaire responses, and the 1,470 content data were kept in mobile phones seized by religious police in the Qasim region and the northern region of Riyadh. It was confirmed: '70% of the youth picture message content here is related to gender sensitive issues '.

The sociologist Abdullah Mohammad Al-Rasheed in his summary report stated: '69, 7% of young picture messages are related to male-female sex; The remaining 8.6% of picture messages are signs of violence. This is really worrying '.

The content of picture messages in the tested mobile phones mainly belongs to young men. This worries parents, especially parents who have daughters and also young girls who feel 'unsafe' and need to be more alert.

The investigative research report also showed that 88% of real-life victims of sex-related cases are affected by the content of those sex messages.

As a general observation, Islamic law is a strict law for young men and women in the United Arab Emirates. The rich Islamic nation of oil reserves in the world always prohibits mixed education in schools, their education system is to separate educational schools for boys and girls to avoid the The problem of attracting 'male and female sex in school' occurs.

In another study of 'Muslim and mobile women' asserted by Professor Rasheed in early 2007 involving 1,200 young women from 18 to 25 years of age, up to 82% of interviewed women responded. they often use Bluetooth technology to connect two wireless mobile phones to communicate with each other.

For 99% of them, this technology has 'broken the barriers of social and traditional taboos in Muslim countries'. And more than that, three-quarters of the survey polls (that is, about 77%) of young women confessed that they used their cell phones to text for the first time to their opposite sex right away. mosques while on holiday.

Two investigative reports carried out in 2007 represent two problems in society in the current United Arab Emirates. First, need to educate healthy thoughts for young people. Secondly, will the Government not be 'strict' in allowing Muslim young women to freely use their cell phones to call and text different friends?
