Programming suggestions for Al-Jazeera
"The Bachelor, Muslim version."
It would start just like the American show with thirty women competing for the attention of one guy. However, at the end the bachelor would be able to choose up to four women to marry and the rest of the women would be publicly beheaded for promiscuous behavior.

"Who wants to marry a multi-millionaire?"
Unlike the American version, where the contestants didn't get to see the face of their potential groom until the very end, in a Muslim version the groom wouldn't see the burka-covered faces of his potential brides until he ties the knot.
"Celebrity Survivor Middle East"
The show will feature anti-war Hollywood celebrities send to live in the Middle East. The show would eventually turn into "I'm a celebrity, get me out of here!" show.
"How to look good naked"
Of course, since in the Middle East there is no possibility of having a show that helps women to deal with their body images, the Middle-Eastern version would be "How to look good in a Burka".
How about a show based on arranged marriages? There would be a group of men and women who've never met each other before and their friends and family would decide on who would marry who. Hold on, Fox already did that one...
I also imagined what "American Idol" could've looked like if the show were done in Iraq while Saddam Hussein was still in power. The only contestants on the "Iraqi Idol" show would be Saddam Hussein, his sons and his generals. Of course Saddam would always win, because the country would vote only for him. As for judges: Randy would have five minders, Paula would be veiled at all times and not allowed to voice her opinions, while Simon would be tortured every time he'd say something mean to Saddam.
