The first thing that I noticed about this article was the lack of balance provided by the author with regards to Imam Muda television show. The author painted a very beautiful picture of the show- its climbing popularity, its ability to attract youths to the religion and many others. None of which I disagree with. However, in my opinion, one of the drawbacks of this television show, ironically, is fame. Fame can become dangerous when the person become obssessed and could lead to undesirable actions. In order to obtain fame, contestants who join the programme would be obligated to perform all the various religious 'tasks', blurring the line between religiousity and obtaining fame. Their motivation for doing the various tasks such as prayers, sermons and preparing unclaimed bodies for burial would then be to gain fame.
