The Turkish Broadcasting Council (RTÜK) issued a formal warning to a television channel which used the word “God” instead of “Allah” in its translation of the French series “Vous les femmes”, reports the Hürriyet Daily News.
According to the newspaper, RTÜK, criticized the dubbing of the episode shown on TV2 on January 28th, saying it “insulted Turkish society’s national and sentimental values” and that “using the word “God” could have an adverse impact on children’s perception of Allah.”
This is the second time RTÜK has warned TV2 about this series. An earlier episode in which two female characters talk about a strawberry-flavoured condom has also been sanctioned.
