    This seems like an article we should be debating as it hits home on one of the key points of cultural conflict in the EuroMed over the past decade. Mona Eltahawy has since received death threats following an article published in Masrawy.com in Egypt.

KSA sex censorship LBC Lebanon TV

shared by Ed Webb on 07 Oct 09 - Cached
  • A Saudi court on Wednesday sentenced a man who caused uproar by bragging about his sex life on television to five years in prison and 1,000 lashes
  • He made the comments on Lebanese Broadcasting Corporation, which aired the interview a few months ago. Saudi authorities shut down LBC offices in Jeddah and Riyadh after airing the interview on an episode of its popular show "A Thick Red Line." Abdul Jawad was arrested shortly after the program aired and charged with violating Saudi Arabia's crime of publicizing vice.
  • The segment in question has been posted on the video-sharing site YouTube since its initial broadcast last month, and has been viewed hundreds of thousands of times.

    Definitely blogworthy. Note the sanctions against LBC.
