Mariah Carey in Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabian versions of Mariah Carey’s album covers have been retouched to be less sexy. Some say it’s fake as the source of these pics is not clear and they could have been created by any photoshopper… So if you’ve got some info about these modified album covers, don’t hesitate to share it..

      “RESEARCHERS LINK SCHIZOPHRENIA AND VIOLENT IDIOTS DUE TO ISLAMIC VIELS AND BURKHAS”
      ‘Researchers say babies born with low vitamin D levels may have an increased risk of developing schizophrenia later in life.
      ‘The three-year study tested blood samples from babies in Denmark and found having low vitamin D levels doubles the risk of developing the disorder.
      ‘The findings could encourage pregnant women to get more sunshine or take a vitamin D supplement. {And NOT wear a burka or niqab! – dda}
      ‘Professor John McGrath, from the Queensland Brain Institute, says the study is further evidence of vitamin D’s link to brain development.
      “Many years ago we thought it was totally implausible to prevent schizophrenia, it seemed to be such a mysterious, poorly understood group of illnesses,” he said.
      “I think this new result suggests that maybe it will be possible to prevent schizophrenia.”
      Now, let’s think about it. Yemen. Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states. Afghanistan. The more rigidly-Muslim Muslims, everywhere; generations of women totally covered-up whenever they go outside.The likelihood that many or most of those women are Vitamin D deficient is high; and if they’re Vitamin D deficient during pregnancy, then their babies’ brain development may be seriously compromised.
      It should be noted that at the end of a news report on women being forced to wear hijab in Gaza University
      the following information was included:
      ‘Lack of Vitamin D because of veils”
      ‘A Jordanian study published this week asserted that 87% of women between the ages of 18 and 70 in Jordan suffer from a lack of Vitamin D as a result of insufficient sun exposure and not enough milk consumption.
      ‘The researchers linked this phenomenon to wearing the hijab. ‘According to the findings, **92% of women who wear a hijab suffer from a lack of Vitamin D** ‘This figure increases to 96%, according to the survey, when it comes to women who cover their faces as well with a niqab.”
      Put that information together with the results of the Danish study and it appears that those who wear the Muslim female slave rag, whatever form of it they wear, stand a very good chance of scrambling their babies’ brains. SO THE NEXT TIME YOU SEE A WOMAN IN A BURKHA REMEMBER ISLAM IS FORCING WOMEN TO LITERALLY BREED VIOLENT IDIOTS.
      ——————————————-
      PURE MUSLIM IS A TERM FOR A VERY VERY EVIL HUMAN BEING.

    Am I the only one who likes the photos better after they’ve been edited? I mean, they feel a little classier, and more seductive because they’re covered (which isn’t the point of covering them, but its true). A few are a little badly done, but a lot are pretty convincing. Dunno how large scale would look, though.

    • ms z

      i agree, i think she looks much better in most of the pics above…

    • Lane

      I also agree. I scrolled down here to make a similar comment.

  • Manzur

    Proud to be muslim.I think those are nice picture.yea some are badly done though.

  • David

    Oh boy – this is disgusting!!! And for three reasons. 1) Censorship and prudery are truely pathetic. 2) I could do a better photoshop job than that myself. And 3) look what you’ve done – you’ve spawned another of those stupid religious arguments!! I am reading through all these comments and just crying – literally – with laughter!!

  • Miraj

    good. Like these…………

    Cool! I think Ms. mariah looks classier and cuter!

  • Dan

    janim, you are an idiot. There never was a palestine to begin with. according to the records in Egypt-Saudia Arabia-Jordan-Syria and Iraq (as well as Iran) all the historical and library records show that what you call palistine is actually called Israel or the Kingdom of David clear back to 4000 years BC. IN fact the Persian empire shows records of dealing with the kingdom of david/israel in 3845 BC.And what you would call palistinians are actually called BEDOWINS. So stop your lying as it is very easy to prove that you are lying.

      for your information, Spain was under muslim rule during 711–1492 but now its a different thing. if you think that the land “belongs” to the ones that used to live there a number centuries ago, im sorry you’re badly mistaken. israel killed, raped, humiliated and took over Palestinian land only 60 years ago, how would you feel if a thief, killer and rapist takes over your home, rapes and kills your loved ones and claims the house belonged to his forefathers some 1000 years back?

      • Karasu

        well…all i know is i don’t see any radical israelis who put bombs on themselves and detonate and kill any living being around them just to get revenge and i dont see any israelis who kidnap people for money or for thier cause and i dont see any israelis who publicly say that they are proud if they behead a human being…

        • BD

          Karasu, when your house gets robbed and your family gets raped and killed how are going to take revenge when you got no weapons and your enemy has the latest war technology? Palestinians can do nothing but gather stones from the street and throw them, opposite to israel who has gunfire and rocket launchers. Or they can create homemade bombs from the simplest reaction you learn in 3rd grade science, then go in the middle of a terrorist crowd of israelis and light it.

          The media only shows you want it wants, to plant the picture they want in your head. The media won’t show israel killing, bombing, raping and stealing, it will only show you the attempt of a helpless Palestinian trying to save what is left for him and label it as a terrorist attack.

          Think of this for a second.. who goes wearing full body armor, military weapons and rides a tank in a neighborhood? an israeli or a Palestinian? Do you think that’s a sign of peace or exaction?

        • Steve

          No… because they have the Israeli army to do that for them. You want terrorists in that part of the world? Look no further than the IDF.

    what is the big deal of some country censoring some cover pictures? – its their laws, just accept it or get the **** out.

    And regarding to the fuKrs who accused the islamic prophet – Mohammed- as a molester:

    where did you get your facts from ? a word from the FL fuKed up priest ?

    you Mofo’s should read and educate your-selves before commenting on such Topics.

    Stupidity is really invading the internet, WTF… stupid people should not have *** so stupidity will go away!!!!!

      “And regarding to the fuKrs who accused the islamic prophet – Mohammed- as a molester:

      where did you get your facts from ? a word from the FL fuKed up priest ?”

      He’s recorded as having 13 wives, some as young as 9. Even muslims will confirm that. I’m not saying that does or does not make him a molester as marriage age was much younger then and it was normal for girls that young to marry, but you’re a fool if you think there’s no evidence he was married to a child.

  • lol

    The first comment is hilarious. Jannim can’t spell for shtt. Makes all the Muslims look like retards, who are “prawed to be amoslem.”

    Jews make money, while Muslims make war and infringe on female’s rights.

    @lol: Dude, even he can’t spell, he is trying his best… How bout you try typing or speak in arabic?? I praise Janim for his effort.. Try not to criticise people.. it makes you look like your a 12 year old brat…and yeah, Jews make money? How bout Muslims make more money than them through Finance and Raw Materials??? Think about it.. Don’t think that Muslims are all like Iraqis who lived under the occupation of yours truly Uncle Sam.. The next time you stop by Dubai, Qatar, Bahrain or even Abu Dhabi..Think about it.. expand your horizon and do your research.. and one more thing, Women are never oppressed in Islam, its the political nature of the government that does it… The other day I saw a Muslim lady driving a Porsche 911 down the highway…Oppressed? Think about it.. I am a Muslim, and i am proud to be one… Osama is to Islam as Terry Jones is to Christianity…

    Some pictures look better after, classier, other are hilarious. And either way they were photoshoped so much before, it surprises me they could do it again.:))

  • Naj

    I live in Saudi, and I can confirm that those are not photoshops. Pictures of female singers are always touched up on album covers.

    They’re fake. The Saudi censors would not take the time to retouch the photos, they would just take a black magic marker and cover what they didn’t like. How do I know? I spent two years in that Hell hole.

    To be fair, the majority of the Moslems I met wanted the same things I did; to be left in peace to make a living for themselves and their families. The radical few, and I include the mutawa among them, wanted to control everyone else’s lives.

    • jun admana

      I agree that these photos are not the result of the Saudi censorship and is just a ploy of someone with the intention of discrediting Saudi Arabia. Why would they go to such tedious procedures of altering the photos digitally and then re-publish these? What is wrong with what they are doing now of simply smearing “objectionable body exposures” with a thick felt tipped black marker pen?

      If someone wants to tell the true story, simply take photos of these magazines which have smeared photos and publish them. I am sure that the rest of the world will appreciate it more. Just imagine buying a Newsweek and Time magazine with smeared photos of anything that the Saudi authorities think is objectionable.

  • Arsalan Syed

    I came onto this post imply to stop the fight, because there would obviously be one…Please my Muslim brothers, what do we accomplish by arguing like this? And as for the Israel and Palestine argument, we are all related, we all have the same blood! How can we argue about somebody being different when we are all the same, no matter where we came from. Remember, Jesus (pbah) was born in a Jewish area and instructed to lead the Jews, would you attack him when he came back because he was Jewish?

    • Unknown123456

      That’s so not true, buddy! Most domestic violence in the world is related to alcohol; which is not a major issue in Saudi. Read real statistics and you’ll see yourself. Read the numbers from the US and other countries. Educate yourself, and just because the keyboard is in front of you, doesn’t mean you have to type ****! :)

    Nostalgia! I remember buying those albums in my early and mid-teen years!! and yes, those were the actual album covers used in Mariah’s albums distributed in Saudi Arabia..i remember Megastar, Stallions and Music Master were the main distributors of western music..and they reprinted all the material as per local regulations, thus the photoshopping. Nowadays I think music is imported and blacked out with permanent marker or something, and I’m guessing it’s because no one buys hard media when they can download it and listen to it on their ipods..

    Off course they are edited. I think yes, she looks more beautiful in the edited pics.

  • Unknown123456

    These are real pictures from real albums sold in Saudi. I can tell because I have most of these covers. Previously, they used to use a black marker to cover such pictures, which really ruined the original picture. Nowadays, with all the technology, they use photo touching. But to be honest, if I didn’t see the original picture prior to touching, I wouldn’t suspect a thing. Putting in mind no prior knowledge of how ****** Mariah is. All in all, Mariah Carey is HOT with an amazing voice. I’m a BIG fan. As to whether pictures should be modified or not? I’m all against censorship whatsoever! Second thing, let’s not turn this into a religious discussion!

  • Daniel

    If I owned a record store anywhere in the middle east I would not sell the CDs with the original revealing images.
    Why? Because it’s against the local custom. In arabic and muslim culture you’re not supposed to show so much bare skin.
    In Sweden, where I live, it would probably be legal for her to be completely nude on these pics but she’s not.
    Why? Because it’s against the local custom.

    It’s just bad business sense to alienate your audience like that.

    WOW! i find this very interesting that they have done this. i like mariah more without the clothes though =)

  • Mustard

    TBH I like the pictures above a lot. Some are really badly done, but I think she looks almost more beautiful not showing as much. I notice her beauty more when I am not distracted by provocative poses or clothing.
    I don’t think the country should censor something so small, it’s not like she was showing any bad parts, but I wish celebrities could take away that less clothing isn’t always more ;)

    the length some people will go is kinda ridiculous
    not to mention i think someone had too much time on their hands.
    most of the pictures are poorly photoshopped.

  • http://المملكهالعربيهالسعوديهالمدينهالمنوره I am a Saudi and proud

    I am an Arab Muslim from Saudi Arabia Saudi government does not do this
    The magazines that I care about all family members are doing this act because they want to earn more than the number of beneficiaries, by understanding the wishes and the culture of the society in which target
    I’m impressed, who spoke about the Palestinian issue and spoke about the Islamic religion which is not the goal of the topic
    I want to tell every culture and society must respect all

    100%photoshop done.

    I lived in Saudi Arabia for 9 years. It is quite common for American magazines, newspapers, etc. To be cover
