*Saudi Clerics issue fatwa on Turkish soapy* LA Times-Washington Post Turkish soap opera Noor, featuring an independent fashion designer and her amazingly supportive and attractive husband, has become the subject of angry Friday sermons in this strict Islamic kingdom, and the country’s chief cleric recently issued a fatwa calling it “decadent” and sinful to watch. Cheating Wife Pictures Noor Muslim Fashion Noor has had such a deep influence because, unlike American or Mexican soap operas broadcast here, it is about a Muslim family living in a Muslim country. The show is also dubbed in an Arabic dialect, not classical Arabic, which makes it easier to understand and feels more intimate to viewers. And then, there’s that husband. The blue-eyed, blonde Muhannad, played by Kivanc Tatlitu, a 24-year-old Turkish actor and model, is tall, handsome, romantic, respectful and treats his wife, Noor— the title character— as both a love object and an equal. “Saudi women fantasise about what they’re lacking,” said Amira Kashgari, an assistant linguistics professor at King Abdul Aziz University who writes about social issues for al-Watan newspaper. “They are almost obsessed with this show because of the way he interacts with and treats his wife.” Saudi Arabia, a deeply patriarchal society, has few role models for powerful, independent women.

Clip Source: www.khaleejtimes.com 4 August KABUL - Dozens of militants stormed a police post in Afghanistan overnight, killing four policemen, while two mullahs died on Monday when a bomb they were making in a mosque exploded, police said. Some of the dozens of Taleban who attacked police in the central province of Ghazni were slain in a battle that lasted about an hour, provincial government spokesman Ismail Jahangir told AFP. In Paktika province, which adjoins Ghazni, two men were killed when a waistcoat they were packing with bombs for use in a suicide attack exploded, the government said. "Two mullahs (prayer leaders) were killed when a suicide vest they were building went off prematurely," said Zemarai Bashary, spokesman for the interior ministry, which handles police matters. The pair was in a mosque near the border with Pakistan, he said. Two other militants were killed when a mine they were trying to plant in a road went off in the southern province of Kandahar, said police commander Abdul Raziq.
