After Globalist Purge, Saudi Arabia Starts Reforming, Breaking Away From Sharia Law Reader 12/11/2017 (Mon) 17:10:09 Id: b75487 [Preview] No. 4303
Saudi Arabia on Monday lifted a decades-long ban on cinemas, part of a series of social reforms by the powerful crown prince that are shaking up the Islamo-fascist kingdom.

"Commercial cinemas will be allowed to operate in the kingdom as of early 2018, for the first time in more than 35 years," the culture and information ministry said in a statement, adding that the government will begin licensing cinemas immediately.

Reviving cinemas would represent a paradigm shift in the kingdom, which is promoting entertainment as part of a sweeping reform plan dubbed "Vision 2030", despite opposition from Islamic extremists.

"This marks a watershed moment in the development of the cultural economy in the kingdom," information minister Awwad Alawwad said in the statement.

But that's not all...

Saudi Arabia has allowed women into the national stadium for the first time as it launched celebrations to mark the 87th anniversary of its founding with an unprecedented array of concerts and performances.

As well as allowing women to attend an operetta at the stadium in Riyadh on Saturday night, another concert in the Red Sea city of Jeddah featured 11 Arab musicians, plus fireworks, air acrobatics and traditional folk dance shows.

On Sept. 26, Saudi Arabia granted its female citizens the right to drive, reversing a decades-long prohibition.

The latest in a number of changes shaking the Islamic foundations of the kingdom, this widely publicized reform occurred in the wake of dozens of high-profile arrests.
