VOICED: Islamic radio takes off in North Africa

The transcript discusses the closing time at a market in Tunisia, where people prepare for evening prayers at the mosque. Marty, who has observed a rise in mosque attendance over the years, notes the growing devotion among the faithful. Radio Zaytuna, launched two years ago, focuses on Islam and features Sheikh Mohammed, known for his tolerant views. The station, founded by President Ben Ali's son-in-law, aims to counter negative influences from Gulf satellite channels. Some claim it diverts attention from politics to religion. Radio Zaytuna is now the city's second most popular station and may expand into TV.
