Thread Name: BS: What's With Saudi Arabia???
Subject: RE: BS: What's With Saudi Arabia???
One of the richest Princes in Saudi Arabia is single-handedly funding a new broadcast staion which will seek to provide role-models of moderate, peace-loving, disciplined and resposnible Muslimism through various shows and presentations modeled after opinion leaders like Oprah in the West, but much more dignified, and free of authoritarian lecturing or hate-mongering. This is avery promising sign. His sponsorship has enabled the station to start up with excellent equipment and a good shot at making their moderate views felt all across the Muslim world. Enshallah! This is based on an NPRnews story heard on the radio. Soundfile should be at this link ( WMA file)
