Muslims, according to the Qoran are not supposed to see images of people, animals and so forth. So why are they allowed to watch TV.?

    Is that so? Then do share the Quran verse that forbids us to see images because I can't find it.

    I don't think that's accurate - nobody can avoid seeing pictures or images of people and animals unless they are blind. I think the Qur'an prohibits Muslims from painting pictures or using illustrations of things from nature, but that is more to do with not worshipping the created. That's why they are so offended when people draw images of Muhammad in a derisory way.

    However, I'm not a Muslim so perhaps you will get a proper explanation. Meantime, I just found this interesting article on the Qur'an:

    Thanks PK for keeping me on the straight and narrow. I'm often very ignorant of other cultures but never rude.
