| [ALARABIYA] Saudi Idol, a new version of the international ‘Idol’ televised talent show franchise, will be aired before the end of year, Chairman of the General Entertainment Authority (GEA) Turki al-Shikh announced Saturday. I'll bet the local salafists are turning over in their graves, the dead ones anyway. With filming scheduled to begin next month, the new show will be launched in collaboration with Saudi Arabia’s GEA and MBC Group, al-Sheikh said in a tweet, adding that the first episode will air in December this year. The new show, which seeks to hunt for Saudi talent, will feature a star-studded jury that will include singers Aseel Abu Bakr, Ahlam, Asala and Majid al-Mohandes. Saudi Idol, which is set to be broadcast on MBC 1, will be divided into two categories, auditions and live shows, Al Arabiya reported on Saturday. |

| #8 The Saudis see themselves as owners and the original franchisers of the i-slam. And all Moslems with a brain in the world know that the i-slam is a con. It's as fake as the black Hebrew israelite nonsense, or scientiology. So they feel no guilt in bending and twisting it to their needs. The rest of the stupid Umma however, the know-nothing, ass scratching, Allah hoos... they have come to see the Saudis as takfeer apostates for all their liberal reform. |

| #6 Just the actual name "idol". Implying idolatry. Monotheistically speaking, idolatry is right up there with shit they cut your head off for. |

| #4 #1, good question. I haven't been in Saudi for almost 30 years; but I was aware that they would go through cycles of "tolerant" (by their standards) periods and "strict" periods. So you might see things that had been strictly forbidden before, and you might suddenly not see or hear things that had been permitted. It was a weird place. |
