Islamist leaders have encouraged Australian parents to let their children watch a Muslim alternative to the British cartoon Pink Pig Girl, according to < Daily Mail >.
Australian National Imam Commissioner Sheikh Shady Alsuleiman urged Australian parents to support teaching Islamic discipline children`s programmes to prevent their children from being spoiled by mainstream television programmes.
The committee supports Sydney-based company One4Kids, which produces mainly Islamic-themed children`s programs, including the upcoming animated film "Barakah Hills." The cartoon is described as an alternative version of Pink Pig Girls, designed for Islamic children.

Barakah Hills tells the story of the Abdullah family living in the Muslim town of Barakah Hills. A fund-raising campaign for cartoons has begun. "the town center of Barakah Hills is a mosque, and imam Nouradeen is a role model for town leaders and everyone," the fundraising page said.
In November, One4Kids released Barakah Hills trailers on its Facebook home page and wrote, "Barakah Hills is one of the many alternative animations to Pink Pig Girl, which showcases an ideal Muslim community." The main groups of people are young children and pre-school children. The main purpose is to tell children how to be a qualified Muslim and a good citizen. Children can learn a lot from cartoons, from good behavior to active participation in community activities. "

In a previous post promoting Barakah Hills, some netizens left a message denouncing the "moral outlook" of Pink Pig Girl.
"Pink Pig is rude," wrote one netizen. "make a cartoon that teaches good ethics to your child, and you have to stop everything and pray five times during the prayer time." Don`t lie, don`t beat people, don`t shout, dress well, listen to your parents, fast, etc., and abide by all Muslim discipline. "
Another netizen said it made them feel guilty about letting their children watch "all Pig."
One4Kids producer Subhi Alshaik told the media that Pink Pig was a great cartoon, but he saw reports that it was bad for children and taught them to be "snobs."
