Women On TV?
I haven't made a religious post in a few days. Here's a good one: Hardline Saudi clerics urge TV ban on women, music.
A group of Saudi clerics urged the kingdom's new information minister on Sunday to ban women from appearing on TV or in newspapers and magazines, making clear that the country's hardline religious establishment is skeptical of a new push toward moderation.
In a statement, the 35 hardline clergymen also called on Abdel Aziz Khoja, who was appointed by King Abdullah on Feb. 14, to prohibit the playing of music and music shows on television.
As much as I dislike religion, I'd have to agree with this one. Just think how much better TV would be if you only saw men and didn't have to hear any music.
It would be like watching C-SPAN on every channel.
