As for beheadings, I don't know -- I don't think they show them in Egypt at least, since there are no beheadings here. Probably only in Saudi Arabia, come to think of it.

LOL ! I think it was 'Knight Without a Horse.' My translator fell asleep in the middle of it, so I never found out how it ended. He said it wasn't too good; it was so boring, it put him to sleep. I'm disappointed to learn that they're going to try to censor these programs on a seemingly capricious basis. Could this have anything connection to the recent flap involving Al-Manar TV?. So, showing beheadings is still Ok? But showing a guy in his underwear getting caught in a closet with a bellydancer is going to be taboo from now on. Isn't this a bit hasty and arbitrary? If they stay home to keep up with the soap operas, they won't have time to cause trouble on the street. ‘Headless Horseman’ -? LOL !
