Originally posted by NGONGE: ^^ What limits? A comedian due to perform today in Dubai has been barred from entering the country due to previous shows containing comments percieved as offensive to Islam/Arabs. Dubai - A controversial British comedian due to perform in Dubai this weekend has had his show cancelled after a complaint was filed against him with local police for alleged offensive comments made about Arabic culture in past shows. Award-winning Sean Meo was scheduled to speak at the Courtyard Marriott Hotel in Dubai on Friday as part of the regular monthly The Laughter Factory shows held in the emirate. But the former 'Time Out comedian of the year's appearance was pulled by event organisers here who felt forced to “do the right thing” after being alerted to a complaint regarding several web sites featuring comments made by the comedian in past shows which pertained to the Arabic language, culture and Islam. The complainant said: “A report has been filed with Dubai Police to prevent Meo from entering the country for the event on August 30, due to his offensive comments.” Citing quotes listed as spoken by Meo on a Canadian web site, they added: “Meo makes fun of the Arabic language, culture and Dubai's heritage. He also denigrates the status of the Qu'ran, the Muslim holy book.” The former full-time amateur snooker player has been a stand up comic since 1989. One of the most established names on the comedy circuit and a regular headliner at The Comedy Store in London, he was named best stand-up by Time Out in 1997, has appeared at the Kilkenny, Cork and Montreal Comedy Festivals, starred in four TV adverts and has performed in Dubai in the past. A spokesperson for The Laughter Factory in Dubai told 7DAYS: “We can confirm we have pulled Sean from Friday's show - we felt it was the right thing to do after this was brought to our attention. In ten years of running this event we have never had a complaint before, so when we do we take it very seriously. In Sean's defence, he has no control over what is posted about him online and sometimes, taken out of context or misrepresented, words and sentences can take on different meanings. But that is beside the point. We live in an Islamic country and we must respect that.” Meo's manager told 7DAYS: “Sean meant no offence in any way. It was a joke. The comments have been taken out of context and I am surprised that one person complaining can cause such a massive reaction. I find it very sad but understand why the club felt pressure to cancel.” http://www.7days.ae/showstory.php?id=57360 Khayr, I have experienced both the closed society (Oman) and now the more open society (UAE) in terms of press freedom. Issues are discussed (in both Arabic and English) which cant be bad. Listen here Dubai Eye (English) and Nuur Dubai (Arabic) are the main talk shows. You will hear Kanye West on the others

Khayr, On the drive home today I was listening to Q&A on Ramadan in Arabic (yes in Arabic). The other night it was all about how selfish today's society is, in English. On sat afternoons there is talk radio on everything Islam in English. It really not that bad. Your probably thinking of all that trash radio talk shows in the west at 12am when things turn Jerry Springer like. Not here.

1) I posted HY's opinion on Darwin's Human Evolution Theory (a theory believed by Athiests - who deny there was a creator) 2) You post something about HY's supposed suffi tendencies (unproven and off topic) 3) I ask you to bring forth anything to counter HY's piece (you dont) 4) You come back with 'you dont understand the evolution theory' (you are correct to an extent) Now, what say you on HY's above piece and can you come with something from the 'enlightened' perpective? Save all the running in circles for another time. (As we're not short in nomads who never read Darwins origins of species but memorize and repeat what their Mullahs say), bring it on . A pittence of a cheap shot (glad you havnt changed )

If anything people have become more tolerant and open minded. Hmm, that’s interesting. Since joining SOL I have been exposed to the mind set of many a nomad but this doesnt mean tolerating their views. But most of the time I just be bothered! But why can’t I be bothered? What is interesting and to whom? Long posts I don’t bother with most of the time. Does that make me lazy?
