"On September 7, 2008, GEO TV broadcast from Dubai (and aired in the United States) its program, "Aalim Online," in which the show's host, Dr. Amir Liaquat Hussain, and two invited guests, fundamentalist religious clerics, launched disturbing invectives against the minority Muslim group, the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community (AMC). See: http://vidpk.com/view_video.php?vid=16080. The show was celebrating the 34th anniversay of Pakistan's second amendment to its constitution, which declares members of AMC to be "non-Muslim." The clerics said that Ahmadi Muslims were "wajib-ul-qatl" or "worthy of death" and that Pakistanis have a "righteous duty to kill" them. Less than 18 hours after the program aired, two Ahmadi Muslims were shot dead in Sindh, Pakistan. The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) has strongly condemned this satellite television broadcast (http://asiapacific.ifj.org/en/articles/ifj-condemns-inflammatory-broadcast-and-link-to-murders-in-pakistan)."
You will then be given a complaint number form, which you can print and fax to follow up.
Your complaint will be sent to an FCC analysis team.
